Page 6 <br /> 10. Typical-.Parcel.:Size and -Imperviousness _=- Calcula.te..typ,ical parcel. size <br /> • and percent impervious of each of the various types.of .zoning in the <br /> community.,. Your knowledge of the community can probably allow. you to do <br /> this- by making a few sample calculations from aerial photos.* This- infor <br /> mation- is vitally important to properly develop the fee system. It <br /> becomes the focal .point for the system for. charging various property users. <br /> 11. Soil. Slope and Rainfall -- Estimate the general type of soil in the <br /> community and typical slope or grade of the normal parcel. It is also <br /> necessary to obtain typical rainfall data, so that when calculations are - <br /> ultimately made, information will be available from which to base the decisio <br /> 12. Potential Credits -- Find out to the best of your ability the type and <br /> magnitude of privately constructed and maintained ponds, holding basins, <br /> skimming facilities, and other similar improvements that are on private <br /> property. If a credit system is to be considered, its effect will have to <br /> be quantified in some manner. Actual calculations or field investigations <br /> are not recommended for this portion of the information. Doing so would be <br /> much too costly and timme consuming at this stage of the process. <br /> 13. Who Should Pay -- Determine what groups of individuals you feel should <br /> pay for the facilities. The process will allow subsequent decisions to <br /> be made in the setting of the rates. These decisions are subjective and <br /> more of an art than a science. As such, having predetermined your <br /> preference for the ultimate decision, it will be easier to make the <br /> correct choices. This facet cannot be .emphasized enough. - It is, <br /> indeed, in this area that the utility will, in all probability, either <br /> succeed or .fail. If the utility is perceived as charging the right <br /> types of land and as bein3 reasonable, then it will probably be a <br /> success. If the fee system is viewed as being unfair, or resulting in <br /> • wrong <br /> charges to the <br /> g g t ype of land users or in the wrong magnitudes, <br /> then it will probably fail. <br />
