However, they have also included areas of Class 5, or dirt parking areas. Areas of <br />packed soil without vegetation shed water almost readily as if they were impervious. <br /> <br />5) <br /> <br />There are a small number of commercial customers which operate out of their residences, <br />many of these have additional paved areas not typical of single family residences. Should <br />those properties be billed as residential or commercial parcels? <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that if the property owners has a Conditional Use Permit or a <br />Home Occupation Permit and they have not created any additional structures then they should be <br />charged the residential rate, but if they start having additional buildings then it should be treated <br />as commercial property. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman replied that there are many residents that have very large <br />impervious areas also. <br /> <br />Consensus was to bill the properties 50 p~rcent commercial and 50 percent residential. <br /> <br />6) <br /> <br />Some non-residential parcels have on-site ponding. Some reduced charge should be applied <br />to these parcels, but it will take some time to determine exactly what percentage of full value <br />they should be charged. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen stated that at some point the City started requiring on-site ponding <br />and people who are using the ponding on their site should be charged a lower rate. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski stated that an analysis could be completed to determine the percentage <br />for each parcel, but at this time he proposed a 15 percent credit. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Committee was to direct staff to discuss the issue with the City Attorney. <br /> <br />7) <br /> <br />Townhomes will be billed to individual units, but inquired if the City should bill each a <br />single family unit charge or should they use the commercial formula to determine the charge <br />for the complex as a whole and then divide by the number of units within the complex. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Committee was that if the units are individually owned then they should be <br />billed as individual units. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman recessed the regular Public Works Committee meeting at 7:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Chairperson Zimmerman called the regular Public Works Committee meeting back to order at <br />8:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Public Works Committee/February 15, 2000 <br /> Page 7 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
