Fiscal Note
The proposed ordinance establishes two impact fees and corresponding impact fee districts: the West Elderberry Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee and the Westside Drainage Improvement Impact Fee. 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. A companion resolution (File ID 51978) amends the Sewer budget to cover staff time in advance of the West Elderberry district being established, but this amendment is funded by reserves and not impact fees.
In the undeveloped areas of the West Elderberry Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer Improvement Impact Fee District, the Impact Fee shall be $109.26 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 $109.26 per 1000 square feet. The Westside Drainage Improvement Impact Fee District will initially include two impact fee zones to address specific development needs: the Bear Claw Way Drainage Improvement Impact Fee Zone and the Mineral Point Road Drainage Impact Fee Zone. In the undeveloped areas of the Bear Claw Way Drainage Improvement Impact Fee Zone, the Impact Fee shall be $390.04 per 1000 square feet of Net Developed Area. In the undeveloped areas of the Mineral Point Road Drainage Impact Fee Zone, the Impact Fee shall be $169.91 per 1000 square feet of Net Developed Area. All easement acquisition and construction for the West Elderberry Neighborhood Sanitary Sewer district will occur in 2019 and projects in the Westside Drainage district will be in 2019 at the earliest.
