Sketch Plan and Site Plan Review -Cross of Hope Addition October 28, 2010 Page 5 of 6 REU Number: This property will be subject to a storm water utility charge based upon the amount of impervious surface on the site. The quarterly charge is dependent upon the number of Residential Equivalent Units (REU) calculated for this property. Please provide the overall property size, and impervious area calculations to assist in determining this fee; there are a couple of different locations this information was presented in the plan. set but there is no consistency between the given numbers. Development Fees Since the. request involves reconfiguration of lot lines which requires some form of platting process, the • proposal is subject to current development fees including Park Dedication, Trail Development, and Stormwater Management Fees. Park Dedication obligations were satisfied for the Subject Property in 1979 through a metes and bounds subdivision to subdivide portions of Auditor's Subdivision #27. It is important to note that any increase/change in land use for the undeveloped portion of the Subject Property would trigger additional Park Dedication requirements upon development. Stormwater Management and Trail Development Fees have not been collected, and are triggered due to this new plat. A credit based on impervious surface may be eligible for Stormwater Management. Final development fees will be addressed prior to review by City Council. Alternatives related to these development fees include: • The future development area could be platted as an outlot, and thus, various development fees would be deferred on this area until such time that that lot is ready to be developed (see below under park and trail fees and REU number). This still allows the right of way area to be amended, but defers development fees to a more appropriate time in which the area actually develops. • Amend the site plan in such a way that no adjustment to lot lines is needed, which could include allowing a portion of the proposed parking lot through encumbrance of a shared parking easement, provided that the access remains partially on the same lot as the principal structure. • Park & Trail Fees: The 2010 rate for Park Dedication and Trail Fees are $4,73 8/acre and $1,090/acre respectively for commercial properties. It appears that Park Dedication obligations were completed with Auditor's Subdivision 27. Since no additional buildable lots are being created, Park Dedication requirements appear to have been satisfied. Trail Development Fees for the plat would be ($1,090 x 14.6 acres = $15,914) for the entire Subject Property or approximately ($1,090 x five [51 acres = $5,450.00) if separating the undeveloped portion as an outlot. Please refer to previous notes related to development fee obligations. Stormwater Management Fees: The 2010 rate for Stormwater Management fee is $4,465 per acre. Stormwater Management Fees for the plat would be ($4,465 x 14.6 acres = $65,189.00 for the entire Subject Property or approximately ($4,465 x five [5] acres = $22,325.00) if separating the undeveloped area as an oulot. Please note that the proposal may be eligible for credit for Stormwater Management fees based on impervious surface calculations. Available credit will be reviewed prior to City Council review. Please refer to previous notes related to development fee obligations. Easement Vacation Review There is an existing permanent road easement across the northern 126 feet of the property generally known as 17735 St. Francis Boulevard. In conjunction with this project, a request has been made to vacate this easement in its entirety and in return, sufficient right-of-way would be dedicated through the platting of Cross of Hope Addition (also see comments under Sketch Plan). 20
