Table ES.4 <br />Connection Charge Summary <br />(Alternate 2b) <br />▪ Lift Station and FM Extension to Special Area <br />▪ CIP Expenses $7,333,750 <br />▪ 0.7 ERU for High Density Residential <br />▪ Connection Charge Revenues $8,612,768 <br />▪ Oakwood Reimbursement $111,848 <br />▪ Total Gain $1,167,170 <br />▪ Connection Charge Necessary to Balance $1,099 ($172 Decrease) <br />The detailed analysis of the alternates that were considered is included as Item K in the <br />Appendix. This shows that based on the listed assumptions, the sewer connection charge can be <br />reduced by $172 to $1,099 per unit. The current per acre connection charge for <br />commercial/industrial property is equivalent to 3.01 residential units. On this basis, the adjusted <br />rate would be $3,308 per acre. <br />The historic policy of requiring developers to fund sanitary sewer extensions with subsequent <br />reimbursement from connection charges should be continued as a means to maintain a positive <br />balance in the sewer utility fund and also to discourage premature sanitary sewer extensions. <br />City of Ramsey Page ES-7 <br />Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan - 2012 Prepared by Bolton & Menk, Inc. <br />
