Water Service Impact Fee
Service Area 99-01
April 16, 1999
Service Area 99-01 is an area located within the City of College Station established for
the collection of impact fees for the recovery of cost associated with capital
improvements necessary to serve new development.
Service Area 99-01 is proposed for the purpose of financing water system
improvements necessary for providing municipal water to the area. The boundaries of
Service Area 99-01 are reflected in Figure 1, below.

Service Area 99-01
Land Use Assumptions
"Land use assumptions" as required by Chapter 395 of the Local Government Code,
include a description of the service area and projections of changes in land uses,
densities, intensities, and population in the service area over at least a 10-year period.
Description of the Service Area
Proposed Service Area 99-01 consist of eleven parcels of land totaling approximately
157.62 acres. The Service Area is located along the northeastern side of State
Highway 6. Service Area frontage along Highway 6 begins at the most southerly point
of the former City of College Station landfill (47.92 ac. Luther G. Jones Estate tract) and
extends northwest along Highway 6 to the most northwesterly point of the 70.39 ac.
Bert Wheeler's Inc. tract. The depth of the Service Area from the Highway 6 right-of-
way varies with the R. Stevenson - T Caruthers League Line being the northeaster
boundary of the Service area.
The Service Area is predominately vacant at this time. It is estimated that current
development within the Service Area is limited to three single family residences, one
commercial establishment (nightclub) and various outbuildings and accessory
structures. The service area currently lacks water and sewer services necessary for
urban development.
Current Land Use in the Service Area
Current land use in the proposed Service Area is estimated in Table 1 below.

Basis For Land Use Assumptions
Projections of changes in land uses, densities, intensities, and population in the Service
Area are made as Land Use Assumptions. These Land Use Assumptions are based on
the Land Use Plan included in the College Station Comprehensive Plan adopted
August, 1997. Land uses projected in this plan include medium density single family
residential, commercial, office and floodplains.
The area along the opposite side of Highway 6 from Service Area 99-01 is currently
experiencing a high rate of growth. The existing Shennandoah subdivision is
expanding. A new subdivision, Alexandria, is proposed. The Springbrook-Cypress
Meadow development has been substantially built out. Commercial development has
occurred along the highway frontage road. Service Area 99-01 has a similar potential
for development but is impacted by two major constraints.
Constraint #1. Water- Water for development is available at the northern and
southern extremes of the service area. There are no municipal water facilities or
services available to the majority of the service area.
Constraint #2. Wastewater- There is limited sewer service within the service
area. A force main is located at the northern end of the Service Area. Most of
the service area drains away from that main. There are no other municipal
wastewater facilities within the service area.
The proposed water improvements within the Service Area will address one of these
constraints. Lack of wastewater facilities will remain as a development constraint within
the service area. Commercial development along the frontage road can be served by
extending existing facilities located south of the Service Area. Substantial residential
development within the Service Area will require extension of a major wastewater
interceptor or trunk line from the Greens Prairie Rd. area along Spring Creek to and
through the Service Area. This facility is included in the City's long term wastewater
capital plans but will not be available for several years.
The following assumptions are used in projecting land uses for the ten year period:
1. The 47.92 ac former landfill site will remain as open space - floodplain during
the ten year period.
2. Lack of wastewater facilities will limit residential growth for the initial part of
the ten year period.
3. Existing residential and commercial uses will remain, limiting growth potential
for the tracts they occupy.
4. Residential growth, when waste water services are available, will be similar to
growth along the southwestern side of Highway 6 in type and density.
Table 2 reflects the projected land uses population for the ten year planning period.
Population from new development at the end of the period is projected to be 400.

Summa~
In order to serve proposed development along the east frontage read of State Highway
6 between Rock Prairie Road and Baron Road, a water line extension is required to be
constructed. This program is a result of requests for assistance from developers of a
proposed commercial site known as lot one, block one, Harley Subdivision.
Existing Facilities
At the north end of the proposed service area, there is a 16 inch water line that crosses
under State Highway 6 near the extension of Graham Road. At present this line turns
north as an 18 inch line to serve the Woodcreek Subdivision.
At the south end of the proposed service area, there is an 18 inch water line that
crosses under State Highway 6 near the site of Fire Station Number 2. At present this
line turns south to feed the new Methodist Church as well as the Desert Hills Facility.
Along the eastern frontage road near the middle of the proposed service area, there is
an existing 2 inch line that presently serves the Silk Stocking establishment. Because
this line cannot provide any real level of fire protection, it is not capable of supplying
any new development in the area.
Figure 2 shows these existing facilities in relation to the proposed service area.
Figure 2
Existing and Proposed Facilities
Proposed Facilities
This program proposes that an 18 inch water line be constructed along the eastern
frontage road of State Highway 6 to connect the two existing crossings near Graham
This connection would be constructed in one phase, because a temporary termination
of a line of this size would create too many maintenance problems due to the drastically
increased potential of stagnant and/or muddy water.
Road and near Fire Station 2.
This construction will provide adequate service to the entire service area up through
build out as shown in Table 2.
Figure 2 shows the proposed facilities in relation to the proposed service area.
Projected Costs
The distance between the connection points is approximately 4800 lineal feet, which
would relate to an estimated construction cost of $312,000.00. This cost would include
the necessary valving, and street fire hydrants, but would not guarantee fire protection
coverage for any particular proposed development.
Using an estimated design fee of 10%, and a 5% contingency, the project budget would
be $358,800.00
Because the sizing of this line is based on the City's Water Distribution Master Plan and
not on the specific demands of the service area, a different basis of fee determination is
required.
The line size required to supply the needs solely of the projected new development
within the proposed service area would be 8 inches in diameter. This is based on the
provision of fire flows to any point in the area under the assumption of flow from both
the north and south ends of the proposed connection.
The estimated construction cost of 4800 lineal feet of 8 inch line would be $144,000.00.
Using an estimated design fee of 10%, and a 5% contingency, the budget for use in fee
calculation is $165,600.00.
It is this estimate, $165,600.00 that should be used for fee calculation purposes with the
rest of the project cost being paid for from water distribution funds in a similar fashion to
oversize participation.
Living Unit Equivalents
Estimated development in the area includes 3 residences and one business. Municipal
water service in the area includes one residential and one commercial account. Living
Unit Equivalents are used to measure water service consumption for new and existing
development in the Service Area. ^ Living Unit is defined as a single family residence
without regard to the number of bedrooms. Water meter size is used to determine
Living Unit Equivalents. The existing living unit equivalents for water service in the
service area are given below in Table 3. The living unit equivalents for assessing
impact fees for new development are given in Table 4.

Impact Fee
The maximum impact fee per service unit is calculated by dividing the costs of the part
of the capital improvements necessitated by and attributable to projected new service
by the projected new service units in the Land Use Assumptions. The total project cost
is projected to be $312,000.00. However, the portion of the cost attributable to new
development within the ten year period is $165,600.00. The number of projected new
living unit equivalents for the period is 300° The maximum impact fee is $550.00 per
living unit equivalent.
