CHECKLIST OF REQUIRED CONTRACT S.A.D. FINANCING INFORMATION
The following procedures will apply to all property owners who
are seeking to connect a single family building unit to the Hamburg
Township Sewer System and who want to finance the cost by agreeing
to participate in a contract special assessment district. However,
a property owner will not be assured of obtaining subject financing
simply by completing the below steps. Any property owners seeking
to connect more than one building unit to the Hamburg Township
Sewer System shall comply with the provisions of the “Policies
and Procedures for Development Project Sewer Connection” to
the Hamburg Township Sewer System.
1. The property owner shall submit to the Township Utilities
Department a completed application to participate in a Contract
Special Assessment District together with a non-refundable application
fee of $200.00.
2. The DPW Administrator will meet with the property owner on
location to determine a grinder pump station location and prepare
a site plan.
3. The Sewer Committee will review the site plan, obtain any
necessary engineering input and determine whether the proposed
connection applied for complies with the sewer master plan and
is in the best interest of the Township.
4. In the event the proposed connection is determined by the
Municipal Utilities Committee not to meet the above requirements,
the property owner will be notified of this finding.
5. In the event the proposed connection is determined by the Municipal
Utilities Committee to meet the above requirements, the Utilities
Department will thereafter obtain an estimate of the cost to complete
the sewer connection to the property owner’s building.
6. The Utilities Department will then supply the estimated costs
to the property owner.
7. The property owner will then execute a contract together with
any easements deemed necessary by Hamburg Township in a form to
be prescribed by the Township.
8. Pursuant to this agreement, the property owner will agree to
pay all costs of installation, the appropriate connection fee per
Ordinance #69, all equipment charges, legal costs, engineering
costs, as well as an administration fee of $600.00.
9. Applications to participate in a Contract Special Assessment
District will be accumulated for a period of time to be determined
by the Supervisor, but expected to be in the range of six months
to one year.
10. In the event the Supervisor determines that a sufficient number
of applications have been received to warrant funding and construction
of the connections he shall summarize them and present them to
the Hamburg Township Board of Trustees.
11. Once the Supervisor has submitted the Contracts for Special
Assessment Districts signed by the owner to the Board, no additional
applications will be accepted for inclusion in that particular
group submitted for approval.
12. In the event the Township Board approves financing by
adopting the appropriate resolutions to fund the group of Contracts
for Special Assessment Districts submitted, the Supervisor shall,
with the aid of financial and legal service, obtain funding for
the construction of the connections.
13. Upon completion of the financing and receipt of the
proceeds, the Supervisor shall authorize the construction of the
property owners’ connections to the Hamburg Township Sewer
System.
14. In the event that the sewer connection application submitted
by the property owner is for a new home to be constructed in Hamburg
Township and a contract special assessment district is requested,
a Land Use Permit will not be issued until such time as a special
assessment district contract has been signed by the property owner
and bonds have been sold to finance the sewer connection.
