0 N § 2.04.850 ORONO CODE corrections to the property neces- sary to bring it within compliance of the city sanitary sewer service regulations within 180 days of the transfer of property. b. The seller shall provide proof to the city that funds were placed in an escrow account at closing to cover the required repairs. The security shall be placed in an escrow with a licensed real estate closer, licensed attorney -at -law or a federal or state chartered financial institution. The amount escrowed shall be equal to 110 percent of a written estimate to install or line the service line by a licensed and certified installer. After a complying service line has been installed or lined and a certificate of compliance issued, the city shall provide the escrow agent a copy of the certificate of compliance. This escrow requirement may be waived if the property contains a principle structure that will be demolished and the agreement referenced in subsection (d)(2)a of this section includes an acknowledgment by the new owner that the demolition and reconstruction will result in the requirement for a new sanitary sewer service line. C. The owner (or transferor) or owner's representative involved in the transaction are responsible for disclosing the correction notice to the transferee and all other persons or entities involved in the transac- tion. The responsibility for repair- ing any nonconformance with the sanitary sewer service regulations runs with the land and not only rests with the owner or transferor but is also an obligation of the transferee of the property. If repairs are not completed within one year of the first inspection, the inspec- tion becomes invalid and the process starts again, which includes paying the applicable inspection fee. (e) Penalties. A monthly surcharge in an amount duly adopted by the city council and set forth in the city's fee schedule shall be assessed against any property found to be in violation of this section. A surcharge will be assessed for every month during which the property is not in compliance. This charge shall cease when the property has been inspected and acceptable certification of compliance is submitted to the city. (Code 2003, § 14-190; Ord. No. 247(3rd series), § 3, 6-8-2020) Sec. 2.04.860. Appeals. Application for appeal of any administrative determination made pursuant to this division shall be addressed to the city administrator within 30 days of the determination. Applica- tions shall at a minimum identify the property for the appeal sought, the name of the property owner, and describe in detail the determination which is being appealed. Within 60 days of receipt of the application, the city council shall make its decision on the matter and send a written copy of such decision to the property owner by mail. (Code 2003, § 14-191; Ord.

In the development, improvement or altera- tion of land, the direction, quantity or quality of drainage shall not be changed unless plans for the development are submitted to the city engineer, and are found to be in compliance with the city's stormwater management policies. Runoff shall be properly channeled into a storm drain, watercourse, ponding area or other public facil- ity. (Code 2003, § 14-231; Ord. No. 213(2nd series), § 1(10(1)), 12-10-2001; Ord.
