For storm water management, costs were included for manholes, catch basins, and pipe within <br />the street sections and included in the roadway costs. For Phases 1B and 2, ponding costs were <br />included for excavation related activities. We assumed a ponding area would be acquired through <br />the platting process, and ponding within a development site would be expanded to include <br />volume for roadway drainage. <br />The Phase 1A limits are based upon the area that can be served by a gravity sanitary sewer <br />system. The Phase 1B sanitary sewer costs include a lift station and forcemain. <br />IX. COST ALLOCATION ALTERNATIVES <br />The costs, or a portion of the costs, of the improvements are typically allocated back to adjacent <br />properties through the use of assessments, fees and other methods. The costs are typically <br />allocated in a way that is equitable to the properties benefitting from the improvements. Public <br />improvements that will become City owned and maintained are typically constructed through a <br />public process, while secondary improvements are constructed by the developer. For our analysis, <br />we assumed the following items would be constructed through the public process: <br />Bunker Lake Boulevard and Puma Street, including storm water conveyance systems, <br />Trunk Water Facilities, <br />Trunk Sanitary Sewer Facilities, <br />Trails, and <br />Street Lighting. <br />While the street lights will most likely be installed by a private utility and the trails could <br />potentially be constructed by the property owner, we have included these items as public <br />improvements. <br />Other improvements were considered secondary and are typically the property owner's <br />responsibility to install: <br />Sanitary Sewer Service Extensions, <br />Water Service Extensions, <br />Natural Gas Lines to Buildings, <br />Telephone Service to Buildings, <br />Electric Service to Buildings, <br />Site Grading, <br />Site Landscaping, <br />Site Storm Water Conveyance, <br />Storm Water Ponding, and <br />Easement Dedication. <br />These types of improvements are typically inspected by the City for conformity with applicable <br />codes and standards, but are constructed by the property owner. <br />Figure 9 depicts the parcels considered for this report and also provides additional information <br />related to each parcel.
