The plan review fee for special building permits
shall be included as part of the building permit fee. No additional
fee shall be levied for the review of the final drainage plans or
the record drawings in the case of special building permits.
[Amended by Ord. No. 84-57; Ord. No. 94-28]
This drainage water fee shall be imposed on
all lands being developed within the present corporate limits and
within one-half mile thereof either as a special building permit or
as a land development. The revenues derived therefrom shall be used
primarily, but not exclusively, for the development and construction
of improvements to the existing storm water facilities and for the
construction of additional needed storm water facilities, such as
new, main interceptor lines, detention facilities, and disposal facilities
to serve the developed areas. It is not the intent of this development
fee to pay for the construction of on-site storm drainage facilities
for any development, but to provide the major overall interceptor
lines and detention facilities to serve the conglomeration of developments.
A. Drainage water fee calculation. This drainage water
charge shall be imposed upon all new developments and lands to be
improved under special building permits in the City. This charge shall
not be imposed upon any already developed land within the City or
within one-half mile thereof at the time of the passage of this Part
7, which is November 4, 1982. The amount of said charge or fee shall
be as follows:
(1) For special building permits, the sum of two thousand
five hundred dollars per acre if the amount of discharge is not limited
by on-site detention;
(2) For special building permits, the sum of five hundred
dollars per acre if the discharge of storm drainage waters for the
development is limited to or less than 0.20 of a cfs per acre during
a one-hundred-year design storm event.
(3) For land development, the sum or two thousand five hundred dollars per acre multiplied by the "Weighted Runoff Coefficient" as determined by Section
7-104A, Rational Method, if the amount of discharge is not limited by on-site detention. The weighted runoff coefficient shall not be less than 0.2.
(4) For land development, the sum of five hundred dollars
per acre if the discharge of storm drainage waters for the development
is limited to or less than 0.20 cfs per acre, during a one-hundred-year
design storm event and provided the City engineer approves on-site
detention for the development. On-site detention shall comply with
the City of Evanston stormwater master plan. In computing the area
of any tract of land for purposes of applying such fee, the area of
any existing public street, alley way, or any canal, irrigation lateral,
or natural waterway shall be deducted. The amount of said charge or
fee may be changed from time to time by the governing body.
B. Manner and time of payment.
(1) All charges or fees shall be paid to the City treasurer.
(2) Land being developed in the City or within one-half
mile thereof shall be assessed this drainage water fee prior to the
execution of the subdivision agreement or special building permit.
Payment shall then be made for the tract of land being developed prior
to final execution of the subdivision contract or issuance of the
special building permit.
[Amended by Ord. NO. 84-57]
The moneys generated from the collection of this drainage water fee or charge shall be deposited in the waste water fund and shall be used for the purposes delineated in section
7-113 or any other purpose designated by the City council.
