Title 12 Public Ways and Property
Chapter 12.13 Road, Street, and Highway Transportation Project Cost Recovery
Article I. Private Project Cost Recovery – Latecomer Agreements
Section 12.13.060 Payment of Charge
Payment shall be made by those property owners within the agreement area who develop their property within the period of time that the contract is effective and at the time of development were not required to install similar street projects because they were already provided for by the agreement.
Payments of the latecomer charge may be made to the City or to the beneficiary in accordance with the City’s rules.
Payment to the City must be by one lump sum including administrative costs .
The City pays amounts due the beneficiary within sixty days of receipt.
If payment of the latecomer charge is made to someone other than the City, the City will require proof of payment in the form of a release from the beneficiary before allowing development, including but not limited to, issuance of a permit, or preliminary plat approval.
The City will not be involved in enforcing private payment arrangements or mediating payment disputes between parties.
Throughout the term of the agreement the beneficiary must, in writing, certify in January every two years the name(s) and address(es) of the beneficiary.
The City is not responsible for locating any person who may be entitled to benefits under any agreement.
Failure to receive the annual certification required under this subsection gives the City cause to refuse to make payment under the agreement and money received may become the sole and exclusive property of the City.
