Griffin couple delays dream home over sewer impact fee
For eight years Bobby Griffin Jr and his wife Can dice plan to build a 4000 square foot home on nine acres by Langley Pond halted by a sewer impact fee of 1952 per acre. The Aiken County Council Development Committee rejected special relief, saying the bond ordinance fixes fees by use of the sewer system and cannot be restructured. Griffin argues a residential rate is needed while officials say the bond must be paid by all users, delaying not only the house but any future outbuildings.
