Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could refuse application of § 43 AR because replacement buildings were treated less favorably than extensions.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The equal-treatment principle barred charging the full connection fee for replacement buildings when extensions were charged only on the additional value and area.
Extrahierte Begründung
The ordinance made no relevant distinction between replacement buildings and extensions for sewer-fee purposes. The special benefit did not differ in a constitutionally relevant way, and the municipality could not justify a full fee solely by reference to the age of the demolished building.
