• • REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: 11-12-90 Requested By: Joel H. Albrecht Department: Community Development Report Resolution XX Ordinance Exhibits: (1) Memo from John Joerns, RE: Interim Front Foot Fees (2) Handouts Presented at July 16, 1990 Workshop SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On July 16, 1990, the City Council held a workshop to discuss the front foot fees charged for businesses and residences seeking water and sewer services. These fees were established by Ordinance No. 759 and have not been updated since 1976. The result of the workshop was to establish a interim front foot fee that was in line with actual developmental costs. Staff was also asked to review the front feet fees charged by Deer Park. Deer Park does not have a set front foot fee, but uses a formula based on the total cost of the utility line which is extended to serve the subject property. The attached ordinance updates the front foot fees established by Ordinance No. 759. The proposed front foot fees are as follows: WATER Commercial Residential $ 7.30/100 sq.ft. $ 4.60/100 sq.ft. SEWER $ 7.00/100 sq.ft. $ 6.10/100 sq.ft. Staff recommends the approval of the attached ordinance updating the front foot fees to a rate reflective of current construction costs. Staff further recommends that residential lots in excess of one acre use a minimum of 10,000 sq.ft. for the front foot fee instead of the existing 6,000 sq.ft. minimum. Action Reciuired by Council: Adoption of Ordinance updating the front foot fees for commercial and residential development as follows: WATER Commercial $ 7.30/100 sq.ft. Residential $ 4.60/100 sq.ft.
