Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />Page Three of. Three <br />March 13, 1985 <br />ALTERNATE, 14 - MODIFY <br />SPECIFIC SWM <br />Presently, staff calculates the SWM charge for each development. <br />This computation takes a fair amount of time to complete. If there <br />is some way to charge fairly for SWM and not spend as much time <br />calculating, we should make the adjustment. <br />One way to reduce the computation time is to charge a flat fee per <br />acre for each zoning classification. An example is as follows: <br />Average <br />Existing <br />SWM Charge <br />Zoning ($/Acre) <br />Possible <br />SWM Charge <br />Ratio* ($/Acre) <br />R-1 <br />$ 2,000 <br />x <br />339 <br />$ 660 ($170/lot) <br />R-2 <br />2,500 <br />x <br />339 <br />830 <br />R-3 <br />3,600 <br />x <br />339 <br />1,190 <br />R-4 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />338 <br />1,650 <br />R-5 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />338 <br />1,650 <br />R-0 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />339 <br />1,650 <br />B-1 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />33% <br />1,650 <br />B-2 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />338 <br />1,650 <br />B-3 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />339 <br />1,650 <br />B-4 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />339 <br />1,650 <br />I-1 <br />5,000 <br />x <br />339 <br />1,650 <br />*The ratio is calculated by dividing a possible unit price <br />($0.0767/sq.ft.) discussed in Alternate #1 by the existing <br />unit price ($0.2351/sq.ft.) <br />Staff requests direction on this issue. The following questions <br />should help the discussion: <br />1) Should the City modify the SWM charge? <br />A. If yes, should staff continue to calculate the SWM for <br />r-ach development as we presently do or use a cost per <br />acre depending on the zoning (or some other system)? <br />B. If yes, should the unit price be $0.0767/sq.ft. or <br />$0.041/sq.ft. (with a cost index of course)? <br />C. If yes, should the owner of land that does not contribute <br />storm water to a storm sewer needing improvements or <br />additional monitoring pay 10%, 20% or some other percent- <br />age of the SWM fee? What percentage should the owner <br />pay? <br />SWT/bc <br />Attachments 1, 2 and 3 <br />
