Guiding Principles Growth of the trunk sanitary sewer system will be consistent with the Growth Management Policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The timing of future trunk sanitary sewer improvements will be influenced by several parameters including development in specific areas, failing on-site septic systems, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future improvements, especially those which may occur far into the future. Therefore, the Capital Improvement Program is intended to serve only as a guide for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The following items are general guiding principles to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the City's sanitary sewer fee structure: Design and Maintenance The City promotes design for public buildings that allows for future expansions or accessory uses and encourages multi -use functions in public buildings to provide for economy in government and make the most efficient use of these facilities. The City will maintain the existing infrastructure to maximize cost efficiencies in development of public projects and will work with the State, County and/or neighboring communities to coordinate public infrastructure improvements and services. The City discourages leapfrog development. Overdepth and Oversizing The costs of additional depth shall be defined by differences in cost for the depth required by the development and the depth required for trunk facilities. Trunk oversizing as defined by the City and installed by the developer will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the larger and the minimum pipe size required for the development. The City shall determine if a credit will be given for a project. 1-1UG0 2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec 14-17 COMPREHENSIVE SANITARY A SEWER PLAN for review only
