Case # Consider Reduction in Development Fees for the Anderson Dahlen Expansion By: -Sean Sullivan, Economic Development Coordinator Tim Gladhill, Associate Planner Background: At the June 24~', 2008 City Council meeting, final plat and final site plan approval was granted to Anderson Dahlen expansion project. Representatives from Anderson Dahlen requested .that trunk charges for the proposed Knoll Properties plat be reduced. The request was forwarded to the Economic Development Authority (EDA) for recommendation. The applicant has requested a reduction in sanitary sewer and water trunk charges because no additional connections are being constructed. This situation is unique in that the proposed expansion is taking place on only a portion of Outlot A. The development fees were not paid on Outlot A when the property was purchased and the TIF district was still active. -The compromise presented below only includes Sanitary Sewer and Water development fees for the square footage of the building pad, not the entirety of the increase of buildable area created. The Storm Water fees are based on the entire lot due to the fact that both the building and land will generate significant run-off The total employment of the company was 110 in 1999 and now they have grown to 160 with wages around $16-$20/hour. The proposed. 50,000 S.F. expansion will also create an additional 20 jobs over the next two years. Anderson Dahlen purchased Outlot A, immediately to the south of their current facility, for future expansion in 2003. The north 3.22 acres of Outlot A is necessary for the proposed expansion. Full fees with no discount (as presented to Council & in the plat review letter): Sanitary: 3.22 acres x $3,630/acre = $11,689.00 Water: 3.22 acres x $7,914/acre = $25,483.00 Storm: 3.22 acre x $4,238/acre = $13,646.00 Total: $50,818.00 Reduced Fees as discussed with the City E~ineer: Sewer & water (based only upon. building footprint within the former Outlot) -1.06 acres o Sanitary: 1.06 acres x $3630/acre = $3,848.00 o Water: 1.06 acres x $7914/acre _ $8,389.00 Storm is based upon the. entire Outlot portion combined into Lot 1- 3.22 acres o Storm: 3.22 acres x $4,238/acre _ $13,646.00 Total: $25,883.00 The compromise position results in a reduction. of sanitary sewer and water trunk fees in the amount of $24,935.00. For future development of platted Outlots, there will not be a reduction -107-
