Page 10 <br /> • example using classification 3, single-family, residential as a base <br /> you will see that 25% is -assumed impervious with a residential factor <br /> of one and the rate of $1.3 per acre. Category 6 of commercial and <br /> industrial land is assumed to be 85,10 impervious. If only the previous <br /> percentage were used it would result <br /> in a fee proportion of 3.4 times residential property. When <br /> the two inch rainfall is used on the SCSS set of tables, however, it <br /> produces a equivalent factor of "five. The final fee used by Roseville <br /> is $65 per acre, identical to this factor of five. This approach is <br /> significant in the final determination in who will pay for the <br /> operation of this new utility. It was felt that the large highly <br /> developed parcels containing extensive amounts of asphalt and roof area <br /> were actually contributing the major water problems both. in regard to <br /> • rate of flow, resulting in large pipe sizes and/or flooding problems, <br /> and in water quality problems. This rate structure reflects that <br /> determination. The size of the fee was set at an amount which would <br /> bring, in adequate funds for both the present and the anticipated <br /> future needs of the community. At the same time by using this system, <br /> the $4.35 per quarter charge to single-family residents was felt to <br /> be small enough to not be a burden and to be considered reasonable by <br /> the citizens. <br />
