Phase III Sanitary Sewer Collection System Local Area Service Establishment Amendment (Boundary Adjustment) Bylaw No. 270
Council gave three readings to the "District of Lantzville Phase III Sanitary Sewer Collection System Local Area Service Establishment Bylaw No. 143, 2017, Amendment (Boundary Adjustment) Bylaw No. 270, 2022", which will add and exclude parcels, or portions of parcels, in Phase III of the Sanitary Sewer Collection System which was completed in 2021. During construction of the system, property owners enquired to join in and in some cases questioned why their property was included. This bylaw results in a net increase of two parcels (increasing from 307 to 309 participants), and some housekeeping amendments. This amendment is time sensitive to coincide with the implementation of the new Phase III Sewer LAS parcel tax in 2022 that will tax owners of property within the Phase III Sewer LAS boundary.
The Community Charter (CC) regulates the establishment of a Local Area Service ("a municipal service that is to be paid for in whole or in part by a local service tax") proposed either by petition of the benefiting property owners or by the initiative of Council, for services that the Council considers provide particular benefit to part of the municipality, including the process to enlarge or reduce the boundary.

Phase III Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems Local Area Service Parcel Tax Bylaw No. 277
Council gave three readings to the “District of Lantzville Phase III Sanitary Sewer Collection System Local Area Service Parcel Tax Bylaw No. 277, 2022” and authorized for the Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel to hold a zoom electronic meeting on March 23, 2022 at 5:30 pm, open to the public for viewing in the Council Chamber, to fulfill the duties of the Panel as provided in the Community Charter.
The Phase III Sanitary Sewer Collection System (PHIII-SSCS) project was approved by Council in September 2017, amended in February 2020 and the Local Area Service (LAS) was substantially complete in April 2021. The project enabled properties within the Phase III-SSCS LAS boundary to connect to the municipal sewer system and property owners had the choice of paying their portion of the capital cost for the project of $11,000 before January 31, 2022, or having repayment through an annual parcel tax, at $483 per parcel starting in 2022, for the next 29 years.
The Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel is mandated by statute and established pursuant to s. 204 of the Community Charter (CC). The Parcel Tax Roll Review Panel must meet before a parcel tax is imposed for the first time. The Panel must consider complaints from property owners subject to the parcel tax, respecting the parcel tax roll limited to the 4 grounds in the CC. The Panel must confirm and authenticate the roll. The Agenda for the meeting and the Notice will be published at lantzville.ca.
