CITY OF KENAi -- ORDINANCE 240-74
AUTHORIZING DEFERRED PAYMENTS FOR WATER AND SEWER IMPROVEMENTS SERVING
SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY OF AN OWNER HOLDING IN EXCESS OF I0 PARCELS OF LAND IN
ONE SUBDIVISION SUBJECT TO ASSESSMENT FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
WHEREAS, persons developing the land within the City of Kenai on a pioneer basis
brought improvements believed by the community to be desirable, at a time when nobody else
was willing to undertake the risk and work required by such a venture, and when subsequent
requirements of water and sewer service impose heavy burdens upon owners holding parcels
of real property in large numbers within a subdivision, a requirement for immediate payment
of assessment on each parcel is an unfair penalty to the initiative required for the City's earlier
development believed to be beneficial, and;
WHEREAS, to facilitate the payment of assessments on an owner holding in excess of 10
subdivided parcels in one subdivision is deemed in the public interest to provide for alternatives
to payment other than those specif'ied in Ordinance 234-73 or Resolution 74-4.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENAI, ALASKA:
SECTION 1: The Council finds that owners of subdivided parcels exceedin9 ten in
number in a subdivision should be permitted additional time to pay assessments e~tablished
in Ordinance 234-73 and Resolution 74-4.
SECTION 2: That owners qualifying in accordance with the Council's finding in
Section 1 may request deferrment of payments for (a) five years, or lb) whenever an individual
parcel subject to an assessment may be sold, or (c} whenever improvements on an individual
parcel are connected to the water or sewer, whichever said time limit may be the earliest.
SECTION 3: This is a non-code ordinance.
