Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance establishes the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District. Impact fee districts are established to impose impact fees on developers to pay for the capital costs that are necessary to accommodate land development. No City appropriation is required with the establishment of impact fee districts.
In the undeveloped areas of the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District, the Impact Fee shall be $60.60 per 1000 square feet of Net Developed Area. In areas already developed without public sanitary sewer, the Impact Fee does not apply, but these parcels may be specially assessed or charged connection fees for sanitary sewer service. The total estimated cost to complete the sanitary sewer interceptor and land acquisition components of the project is calculated to be $1,664,212.80, or $2,639.70 per acre.
Title
Creating Section 20.08(12) of the Madison General Ordinances to establish the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee. (District 17)
Body
DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS: This ordinance creates an impact fee: the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee. This impact fee will serve the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District. This District is made up of lands subject to the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Development Plan, in the northeast area of the City generally lying between the Interstate 39/90/94 interstate and Rattman Road, and includes lands currently in the Town of Burke that will eventually be attached to the City. The District does not currently have sanitary sewer services. To serve development of the District, existing sewer infrastructure will need to be extended across the interstate, then north to Hoepker Road and east to Portage Road. Further information is available in the Public Facilities Needs Assessments for the District prepared by staff, a copy of which is on file in the City Clerk’s Office. This ordinance is being enacted under the City’s authority set forth in Wis. Stat. Sec. 66.0617 to impose impact fees on developers to pay for the capital costs that are necessary to accommodate land development.
***********************************************************************************
The Common Council of the City of Madison do hereby ordain as follows:
1. Subsection (12) entitled “Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee” of Section 20.08 entitled “Schedule and Calculation of Impact Fees” of the Madison General Ordinances is created to read as follows:
“(12) Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee.
(a) In response to new and future Development demands in the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood, in the area generally east of Interstate 39/90/94 and west of Rattman Road, on the northeast side of Madison, additional new public sanitary sewer facilities must be constructed to allow such Developments to proceed. Specifically, to adequately serve this new and future Development, the City must extend and construct new sanitary sewer interceptors. Therefore, the Common Council hereby establishes the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District as a mechanism to equitably charge all new Developments in this District their proportional share of the cost for necessary sanitary sewer improvements in the watershed.
For purposes of the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee imposed under this section, the said District shall be all existing undeveloped land that currently drains or is altered to drain to the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement drainage area, as more specifically described and identified as follows:
Any and all undeveloped parcels (platted and/or metes and bounds), or portions thereof, that are located within, or that are altered or pumped to discharge sewer outflow within the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement service area. These lands are located within parts of the Southern ½ of Section 3, Section, 9, 10, 15, and the Eastern ½ of Section 16, Town 8 North, Range 10 East in the Town of Burke and the City of Madison.
The said District shall also be shown on the Development Impact Fee District Map.
(b) Calculation of the Impact Fee. The amount of the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee to be imposed on individual properties shall be calculated based on the amount of Net Developable Area of the land being developed within the above-described District. The subject Impact Fee is based upon the estimated Cost to construct the necessary public improvements. Prior to the recording of any certified survey map or any final Subdivision Plat, or the issuance of building permits following approval of a rezoning or conditional use permit, the City shall calculate the amount of net area being developed, based on the proposed certified survey map, final Subdivision Plat, or other applicable public records.
In the undeveloped areas of the Pumpkin Hollow Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District, the Impact Fee shall be $60.60 per 1000 square feet of Net Developed Area. In areas already developed without public sanitary sewer, the Impact Fee does not apply, but these parcels may be specially assessed or charged connection fees for sanitary sewer service at a rate of $60.60 per 1000 square feet.
The said Impact Fee, special assessment, and connection fee rates are established in 2024 dollars and shall be indexed for inflation annually (January 1st) thereafter with September, 2024 as the base, using the Construction Cost Index as published by the Engineering News Record or equivalent successor index.”
