<br /> <br /> <br />Justification Report <br />Utility Connection Fees <br />City of Lino Lakes, MN <br />WSB Project No. 2988-26 Page 6 <br />Commercial Developments <br />The non-residential SAC/WAC charges will be determined based on the actual number of SAC <br />units calculated by MCES during the building permit process for each connection to the sanitary <br />sewer and water system. In the case of mixed use developments, the SAC/WAC charges will be <br />assessed based on the sum of all respective land uses within the development at the time of <br />connection. High wastewater generators and water users will be evaluated on a case-by-case <br />basis at the time of connection and will have higher fees applied if deemed necessary by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />3.4.2 Unserviced, Developed Properties <br /> <br />There are a number of existing developed areas that do not receive utility service within the City <br />limits. As stated previously, it is not the policy of the City to force individual property owners to <br />connect to City services immediately upon availability; however, if an individual property owner <br />or group of neighboring property owners wish to connect to City services where it is not yet <br />available, the City will review whether or not it is an economically viable alternative to provide <br />services to the area at the time of the request for connection. <br /> <br />Residential Properties <br />Existing unserviced residential properties will be required to pay the SAC/WAC charges per <br />residential unit at the time of connection. Each residential property will be charged per unit <br />regardless of the number of acres for the respective property. In developed, unserviced areas <br />where individual sewage treatment systems are in place, those properties will be charged a <br />SAC/WAC charge per unit at the time of connection. <br /> <br />Non-Residential Properties <br />Existing unserviced commercial/industrial or other non-residential properties wishing to connect <br />to municipal utilities will be treated as new development. Each newly connected property will <br />be required to pay all SAC/WAC charges according to the actual number of SAC units as <br />calculated by MCES during the building permit process. The charges will be collected at the <br />time of connection. High wastewater generators and water users will be evaluated on a case-by- <br />case basis at the time of connection. <br /> <br />3.4.3 Redeveloped Properties <br /> <br />As stated in the Trunk Fee section, in instances where existing developed areas already serviced <br />with City utilities wish to redevelop within the City limits, it will be up to the City to evaluate <br />whether the sewer and water systems can accommodate the redeveloped sewer flows and water <br />demand. For redevelopment, WAC/SAC fees are based on the difference in the current number <br />of units versus the new number of units. Additional fees will be charged if infrastructure <br />improvements are required as a result of the redevelopment. <br /> <br />Residential Properties <br />In cases where new residential lots are created from the subdivision of a currently serviced <br />property, the new lots created will be assessed SAC/WAC charges at the time of utility <br />connection. Each additional lot will be charged per SAC unit where one residential connection <br />equals one SAC unit regardless of the number of acres for the respective property.
