City estimate: $726,216 <br />Developer proposal: $514,773 <br />c. <br />d. <br />The essential difference is that developer wishes to pay the S&W fee only for the dry <br />buildable portion of the land, as that is how the density is calculated. However, up <br />to and including 2000, this S&W connection fee was charged on a unit basis, and for <br />2000 was $3,645 per unit for sewer and $5,050 per unit for water. In 2001 the fee was <br />restructured to be an acreage charge, based on gross acreage (including wetlands^ <br />since the City had no clear picture of how much of the developable Hwy 12 <br />assessment area was wetland. The fee was based on the dollar amount needed to be <br />recouped to cover City ’s costs of the original project, divided by the gross renmaining <br />undeveloped acreage. <br />Had the restructuring not occurred, the S&W unit fee for 2002 would have been <br />approximately $9-10,000/unit. For 2002, the S&W connection charges total <br />$14,1 15/acre. For the residential portion this represents a S&W unit fee of about <br />$3600, vs the $9-10,000 it would be had the change not been made in 2001. While <br />the prior owners and not the developer benefltted from this restructuring, the City <br />is obligated to have development pay its fair share of the costs of the existing <br />infrastructure it benefits from. <br />Storm Water & Drainage Trunk Fee. Again, developers suggest that the fee should <br />be based on dry buildable land acreage. However, as noted in the recent staff memo <br />and code anaendment regarding the SW&DT Fee for 2-acre and 5-acre zones, the <br />original ordinance established a fee structure based on the entire acreage of the <br />various zones of the City and did not exclude wetlands from the calculation method. <br />Staff SW&DT Fee estimate: $299,752 <br />Developers proposal: $213,872 <br />Developer requests credits for trunk water and storm sewerfacilities constructed bv <br />developer. <br />- Developer is requesting credits for $ 16,9 1 2 for provision of excess capacity in water <br />lines the City has required to be 12 ” vs 8 ”. <br />- Developer is requesting credit for $151,088 for construction of the regional pond, <br />as well as construction of facilities to serve the property to the west. <br />Staff will be reviewing the entire fees proposal and making a recommendation to Council on <br />December 9.
