SECTION II1. EXEMPTIONS. The fee shall not be required for the following:" 1) To replace a structure destroyed or damaged by fire,flood,winds or other act of God, provided the resultant structure has the same, or less impervious surface as the original structure; 2) To modify structures or other impervious surfaces, provided the amount of ground coverage is not increased by more than 100 square feet; 3) To convey land to a government agency, public entity, public utility, or abutting property owner where a new building lot or site is not created as a result of the conveyance; or 4) Any lot or property for which drainage fees have been fully paid previously.
