Property owner allowed to keep dormant sewer EDU under policy; staff to calculate interim charges
Summary
The owner of 1139 N. Gravel Pike requested to retain an inactive sewer EDU. Staff confirmed the dormant-EDU policy permits holding the EDU for a dormant-quarterly fee (staff cited 25% of sewer rate = $50/quarter) and will compute any interim-period adjustments before reporting next week.
Phil, the property owner of 1139 N. Gravel Pike, requested to retain an inactive but activatable sewer EDU associated with the lot he bought. He said he does not seek compensation for earlier sewer charges but would like to retain the ability to reactivate in the future.
Staff confirmed the township's dormant-EDU policy allows an owner to hold a dormant EDU by paying 25% of the quarterly sewer rate, which staff described as $50 per quarter under the current policy. Staff and the solicitor agreed to calculate whether any interim-period charges or refunds apply for the period after January 2022 while the property was in the owner's possession and to apply the same formula being used in a comparable Manning case to ensure consistent treatment.
The board instructed staff to provide the calculation and recommendation at the next meeting. The owner indicated willingness to pay the dormant fee going forward if the board approves; no final refund or retroactive relief was promised at the work session.
