I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I FC CASE By: SUBDMSION FEES Steve Jankowski, City Engineer Background: City ordinances and State law do allow for the collection of fees for several types of infrastructure elements, specifically sanitary improvements including water and wastewater systems, storm water improvements, and park facilities. The City currently charges water and sanitary sewer truck charges against develoPments which utilize these systems. Staff is of the opinion that similar subdivision fees should be assessed for storm water needs and park trails as well. With the impending development moratorium, there will be an opportunity to review the detailed calculations and rationale for determining the amount of such assessments. Irt the interim, there will be a limited number of developments exempted from the moratorium. To avoid losing the opportunity to collect an equitable contribution from these interim developments, Staff is recommending collecting subdivision fees as follows: 1. A park trail development fee of $100.00 per unit on residential subdivision,,;. 2. A storm water tnmk charge of $350.00 per unit on residential subdivisions and $3,500.00 per acre on commercial and industrial subdivisions. Attached to this case is an appendix which provides the rationale for determining these charges. Recommendation: It is Staff's recommendation that the CounciI adopt interim charges for storm water trunk and park trail development in the amounts outlined above. Council Action: Motion to adopt Resolution #97-06-XXX amending 1997 Schedule of Rates, Fees and Charges.
