To: File #2425 - Rebers Subdivision From: Michael P. Gaffron, Senior Planning Coordinator Date: October 1, 1998 Subject: SAC & Sewer/Water Units, 2190 Wayzata Boulevard (Proposed 10,000 s.f. Office Building) The proposed office building will be located on Lot 1, Block 1, Sugarwoods Second Addition (fomerly known as Outlot E, Sugarwoods). The SAC criteria established by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) are found in the Service Availability Charge(SAC)Procedures Manual dated January 1998. SAC criteria for an "Office" use establishes 1 SAC unit per 2,400 s.f. of floor area, excluding mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, stairwells,restrooms,and storage areas. Absent a floor plan as of this writing, it is assumed that 15% of the floor area of the proposd building will be excludable, leaving a net floor area of 8,500 s.f. / 2,400 s.f. = 3.54 = 4 SAC units. Absent more detailed information, the City would be responsible for collecting 4 SAC unit charges at the time a building permit is issued. For 1998,the SAC charge is $1,000 per unit,which is passed on to MCES. For sewer and water unit allocation and assessment purposes,the City uses the SAC equivalent(274 gpd/unit), and 1 SAC unit= 1 sewer unit. Rebers' original Sugarwoods subdivision was allocated and assessed for 69 sewer and water units, of which 25 were attributed to the residential portion of the plat, and the remaining 44 for use within commercial Outlot F. Rebers is proposing to transfer (sell) 4 of these 44 units to the purchaser of 2190 Sugarwoods, which is acceptable to the City, leaving Rebers with 40 units for use within Outlot F. The 44 sewer and water units have been fully assessed, and no new or additional unit charges would be added. SUMMARY At the time a building permit is issued, the City would collect 4 SAC charges at the current rate. Sewer and water connection permits would be obtained by the plumber prior to making such connections.
