3.901 Application for a Reimbursement District.
(1) Any applicant who is required, or chooses, to finance some or all of the cost of a street, sanitary sewer, or storm drain improvement which is available to provide service to property, other than property owned by the applicant, may, by written application filed with the Director, request that the City establish a reimbursement district. The public improvements must be available to provide service to property other than property owned by the applicant. The City may also initiate formation of a reimbursement district. The application shall be accompanied by a fee, as established by resolution, sufficient to cover the cost of administrative review and notice pursuant to this chapter.
(2) The application shall include the following:
(a) A description of the location, type, size and cost of each public improvement that is to be eligible for reimbursement, including detailed or as-built plans or drawings showing the location, nature, and extent of the public improvement.
(b) A narrative statement explaining why the applicant believes all or part of the cost of the public improvement is eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this section.
(c) A map showing the properties to be included in the proposed reimbursement district; tax lot numbers; the zoning district for the properties; and the property or properties owned by the applicant.
(d) The estimated cost of the improvements as evidenced by bids, projection of the cost of labor and materials, or other evidence satisfactory to the Director of Public Works.
(e) A proposed methodology for calculating costs to future development in the reimbursement district.
(f) The estimated date of completion of the public improvements.
(g) The applicant may request a discretionary annual fee adjustment, which, if granted, will be administered pursuant to Section 3.903(4).
(3) The application shall be submitted to the City prior to the installation of the public improvement. However, the Director may waive this requirement upon a showing by the applicant of good cause for the delay, that the applicant did not create the delay, and that the delay was unavoidable due to unanticipated or unforeseen circumstances.
