The City <br /> of St. Anthony currently collects fees from Developers to connect to the City's trunk sanitary <br /> sewer systems and water systems. The current fees charged by St. Anthony Village are <br /> r approximately$150 for SAC and $100 for WAC. These charges are typically collected from <br /> r <br /> -W development as it occurs to pay for the trunk system improvements necessary to serve new <br /> homes and businesses within St. Anthony Village. In addition, the Metropolitan Council <br /> j collects a SAC charge of$1,275 for each new sanitary sewer connection. <br /> The northwest quadrant and southern portions of St. Anthony Village are anticipated to <br /> redevelop, which will require trunk sanitary sewer and water system improvements. The <br /> ` October 2002 sanitary sewer and water system plan updates completed by WSB for St. <br /> Anthony Village identified approximately $2.2 million in sanitary trunk system improvements <br /> ' and-$1.1 million in water system improvements that are needed to accommodate the <br /> r redevelopment activities proposed in St. Anthony Village. In light of these costs, it is <br /> T z proposed that the SAC and WAC charges in St. Anthony Village be adjusted for proposed <br /> �7 redevelopment areas to collect the revenue necessary to complete these system improvements. <br /> Based on a review of development anticipated within the next five(5) years in St. Anthony <br /> Village, it is recommended that the SAC charge be increased from$150 to $850, and the <br /> WAC charge be increased from $200 to $450 for all new development and redevelopment in <br /> t the City. <br /> 2Y fii <br /> The increased fees from SAC and WAC are anticipated to cover the costs to upgrade and <br /> 415 improve the City's sanitary and waters stem for the purposes of accommodating future <br /> Me per - redevelopment. Maintenance activities and routine replacement of systems will be covered by <br /> the City's water and sewer utility fees. <br /> Suit w . <br /> jl <br /> 4 <br /> 47 <br /> 763 .�Y � � Minneapolis • St. Cloud • Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> F:I WPWPAJ 065-861082103-hmcc.doc <br />
