ACOMPREHENSIVE SANITARY <br />SEWER PLAN <br />2040 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DRAFT Dec14-17 <br />for review only <br />Guiding Principles <br />Growth of the trunk sanitary sewer system will be consistent with the Growth Management Policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan� The <br />timing of future trunk sanitary sewer improvements will be influenced by several parameters including development in specific areas, failing <br />on-site septic systems, regulatory requirements, availability of funds, etc. As a result, it is difficult to accurately predict the timing of future <br />improvements, especially those which may occur far into the future� Therefore, the Capital Improvement Program is intended to serve only as <br />a guide for future fiscal planning and should be reviewed on a regular basis as more current planning and cost data becomes available. The <br />following items are general guiding principles to be considered when reviewing and/or revising the City’s sanitary sewer fee structure: <br />Design and Maintenance <br />The City promotes design for public buildings that allows for future expansions or accessory uses and encourages multi-use functions in <br />public buildings to provide for economy in government and make the most efficient use of these facilities. The City will maintain the existing <br />infrastructure to maximize cost efficiencies in development of public projects and will work with the State, County and/or neighboring communities <br />to coordinate public infrastructure improvements and services� The City discourages leapfrog development� <br />Overdepth and Oversizing <br />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 <br />facilities. Trunk oversizing as defined by the City and installed by the developer will be credited using the differential of pipe costs between the <br />larger and the minimum pipe size required for the development� The City shall determine if a credit will be given for a project� <br />Image Placeholder
