The city council finds that subdivision and/or development of
property within the master planned local drainage areas as outlined
in the adopted master plan of storm drains, the master sewer plan
and the city engineer's area acreage fee study, will require
construction of the facilities described in the aforesaid plans, and
that the fees are fairly apportioned within the areas either on the
basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for subdivision or
on the need for facilities created by the proposed subdivision and/or
development of other property within the area.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
The master plan of storm drains, the master sewer plan and the
city engineer's area acreage fee study indicate needed storm
drains and sewers and divides the city into drainage areas identified
as drainage areas A, B, C, F, G and H; and a sewer area generally
identified as the entire area of the city.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988; Ord. 89-O-113 § 1, 1989)
Based upon actual or estimated costs and prorating the costs
of development of said drainage and sewer facilities, the city council
has established drainage acreage fees and sewer acreage fees for each
of the drainage sewer areas in the city as listed in Section 5.24.020
of the Municipal Code.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
All fees required by this chapter shall be paid into separate
drainage acreage fee fund and sewer acreage fee fund.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
The city administrator shall cause the drainage and sewer acreage
fees established by this chapter to be reviewed annually and make
a recommendation to the city council whether or not revised fees should
be adopted in any drainage or sewerage area.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.56.030 payment of such fees will not be required for:
(1)
The use, alteration or enlargement of an existing building or structure
or the erection of one or more buildings or structures accessory thereto,
or both, on the same lot or parcel of land; provided, the total value,
as determined by the chief building official, of all such alteration,
enlargement or construction completed within any one-year period does
not exceed 1/2 of the current market value, as determined by the chief
building official, of all the existing buildings on such lot or parcel
of land, and the alteration or enlargement of the building is not
such as to change its classification of occupancy as defined by Section
501 of the Uniform Building Code.
(2)
The following accessory buildings and structures: private garages,
children's playhouses, radio and television receiving antennas,
windmills, silos, tank houses, shops, barns, coops and other buildings
which are accessory to one-family and two-family dwellings.
(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)
