Agenda Item No. 6 - A public hearing on adoption of !,~d use plan and imm~t f~es for sanitary sewer service ar~a 92-01, loc. amd in the area of Graham Road. - City Engineer Pullen explained that the sanitary sewer service area included 530 acres in the vicinity of Rock Prairie Road, Wellborn Road, and Graham Road. He pointed out that impact fees can only be charged on new development. He defined the definition of a living unit equivalent as being in simple terms equal to a single family residence. To define commercial property as a living unit equivalent, the size of the water meter was applied. He explained the process to determine the cost allocation factor and ultimately, the impact fee calculation. The maximum impact fee calculated for this sanitary sewer service area is $152.18. Mr. Pullen remarked that the proposed ordinance is primarily drafted from state statutes. He outlined options provided in the ordinance. Mr. Pullen discussed the assessment terms outlined in the ordinance. Staff recommended that the collection of the impact be required for platted properties at the time of the issuance of a building permit. The impact fee shall be collected for unplatted property at the time of the connection to the city's water or sewer system. Mayor Ringer opened the public hearing. Steve Arden spoke to the Council.

Allen Swoboda came forward to express concerns about impact fees. City Attorney Locke explained that an impact fee must be collected before infrastructure exist. Dr. Lynn White addressed the Council. She stated concern about the economic impact on families and developers in the future. She suggested that the impact fee be assessed at the time the homeowner applies for utility connection. David White asked if he would need a city permit to tie onto the city water system. City Engineer Pullen replied that Mr. White would be required to apply for a plumbing .permit prior to the connection to the city's water system, but there would not be an ~mpact fee until he tied onto the city sewer system. Discussion was held on the water system. Mayor Ringer closed the public hearing.
