3) Often time parcels contain large wetland areas. For the purpose of our calculations, we have <br /> excluded significant wetlands from the determination of lot area. <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />For the purpose of determining hard-surfaced areas, we have naturally included rooftops and <br />paved areas. However, we have also included areas of Class 5, or dirt parking areas. Areas <br />of packed soil without vegetation shed water almost as readily as if they were impervious. In <br />addition, the City may not wish to reward property owners with lower rates as a result of not <br />paving their used parking areas. <br /> <br />5) <br /> <br />There are a small number of commercial customers which operate out of their res[dences, <br />i.e., Craftman's Concrete at 15040 Garnet (0.85 acres) and Mike's (Sjoquist) Woodworking <br />at 7520 149th Avenue (2.35 acres). Many of these have additional paved areas not typical of <br />single family residences. Are these to be billed as residential or commercial parcels? <br /> <br />6) <br /> <br />Some non-residential parcels have on-site ponding. Some reduced charge should be applied <br />to these parcels. It will take some time to determine exactly what percentage of full value <br />they should be charged. <br /> <br />7) <br /> <br />Townhomes will be billed to individual units. Should we bill each a single family unit <br />charge or should we use the commerci'hl formula to determine the charge for the complex as <br />a whole and then divide by the number of units within the complex? <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />The Committee is being asked to review and either concur with the direction staff has taken on <br />defining the above implementation issues or direct changes as the Committee deems appropriate. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br />PW: 02/22/00 <br /> <br /> <br />
