M M § 2.04.1230 ORONO CODE serve. The appropriate base trunk fee per acre, to be used on a citywide basis, shall be determined as necessary using this methodology. (c) Acreage equivalency factors. Recognizing that different types of land use generate differ- ent amounts of stormwater runoff, an equivalency factor multiplier is assigned to each land use type. The two -acre residential lot is considered as the standard in the city, because a large percentage of the land in the city is zoned for two -acre single-family residential land use. The two -acre single-family residential lot will be assigned an equivalency factor of 1.0. The table below lists the equivalency factors for different land uses. These equivalency factors will be applied to the base trunk fee per acre. Equivalency Land Use Factor Single-family residential 5-acre zone 0.8 Single-family residential 2-acre zone 1.0 Single-family residential 1-acre zone 1.3 Single-family residential 1/2-acre zone 1.5 Multifamily residential 4 units/acre or 1.8 less Multifamily residential greater than 4 2.1 units/acre Commercial or industrial 2.4 gross acres, including wetland, shall be charged a maximum trunk fee equal to the trunk fee for a 5.0 acre parcel. (3) Maximum fee, two acre. For the two -acre zoning districts, any lot exceeding 2.0 gross acres, including wetland, shall be charged a maximum trunk fee equal to the trunk fee for a 2.0 acre parcel. (4) Fee credits. For the two -acre and five - acre zoning districts, a combined reduc- tion of up to 50 percent of the base development trunk fee shall be allowed for the percentage of the total develop- ment property acreage in one or more of the following categories: a. Acreage of newly -created wetland. b. Acreage of stormwater ponding or similar improvements that provide additional treatment benefits beyond what is required to treat the storm - water runoff from the development site. C. Acreage of conservation easements resulting from conservation design process. (d) Trunk fee calculation, credits and reduc- (5) Maximum fee, one acre. For the one -acre zoning districts, any lot exceeding 1.0 tions. The following calculation, credits and reduc- gross acre, including wetland, shall be tions shall be applicable to new development charged a maximum trunk fee equal to projects as defined in section 2.04.1240: the trunk fee for a 1.0 acre parcel. (1) Trunk fee charged on per lot basis. For the five -acre, two -acre, one -acre and half - acre zoning districts, the trunk fee shall be charged on a per -lot basis. Only acre- age platted as building lots shall be charged the trunk fee. Acreage platted as road rights -of -way or outlots for other purposes shall not be charged the trunk fee. The dollar amount, calculated by multiplying the number of new lots by the zoning district base acreage per lot by the base trunk fee per lot established in the city fee schedule, shall be deemed the base development trunk fee. (2) Maximum fee, five acre. For the five -acre zoning district, any lot exceeding 5.0 (6) Maximum fee, half acre. For the half -acre zoning districts, any lot exceeding 0.5 gross acres, including wetland, shall be charged a maximum trunk fee equal to the trunk fee for a 0.5 acre parcel. (7) Multifamily and high -density single family developments. Trunk fees shall be charged on a per -acre basis, except that the fol- lowing acreages will not be subject to the trunk fee: a. All wetland acreage up to the delineation line. b. Acreage of stormwater ponding or similar improvements that provide additional treatment benefits beyond CD2:22
