Home My WebLink AboutA001 - Council Action Form dated December 13, 2022 ITEM # 25 DATE: 12-13-22 COUNCIL ACTION FORM SUBJECT: PRAIRIE VIEW INDUSTRIAL CENTER CONNECTION DISTRICTS BACKGROUND: The Prairie View Utility Extension Project consists of the extension of water and sanitary sewer mains to the recently annexed area east of Interstate 35 (1-35). A water main and a gravity sewer. main have been constructed from 4100 East Lincoln Way (just east of Country Landscapes) to Teller Ave (580th) and are being further extended to Potter Ave (590th) this winter. A sanitary sewer force main has been installed from Freed Drive to Teller Ave and a sanitary sewer lift station has been constructed south of East Lincoln Way at 207 S Teller Ave. In order to recover the local costs from this project, sewer and water connection fee districts are being established for new industrial development area, as directed by City Council in July 2018. Cities may establish utility connection districts to recoup costs associated with construction through fees collected at the time utility service is requested. This process is authorized under Iowa Code, Section 384.38(3). In addition to construction, costs include design and inspection of these improvements. Utility connection districts will be established based on gross acreage to recover the local funding cost from industrial development parcels, including any adjoining parcels under common ownership, prior to site plan (including future phases) or final plat approval, whichever occurs first. Any parcel requesting utility service, but not requiring site plan or final plat approval will also be required to pay the connection fees. During discussions with the existing residents along East Lincoln Way, concern was expressed regarding their high "per acre" water and sewer connection costs. Therefore, City Council agreed that those existing residences would not be included in the connection fee districts to connect their homes. Instead,. these property owners would pay the standard connection fee as stipulated in Appendix F of the Ames Municipal Code (currently $30 per lineal foot of frontage). However, the residential lots in this area are significantly larger than in the urban residential lots within Ames. Therefore, the residential properties would make a one-time connection using a typical 8Q lineal foot width for the connection fee calculation. If residential properties are.further subdivided for development, additional connection fees would be owed to meet the requirements of this connection district. The City was fortunate to receive $1,500,000 from the .Economic Development Administration and $2,900,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds for this project. The connection districts will only recover the local costs in the amount $5,300,000 ($1,100,000 water and $4,200,000 sewer) from General Obligation Bonds. These connection fees are separate from the rural water service territory buyout fee, which currently is currently approximately $2,761/acre. The proposed sanitary sewer connection district of approximately 1 ,221.33 acres is shown in Attachment A along with the property owners who will be served by this main. The estimated fee for all non-residential parcels shown in Attachment A is $3,438.87 per acre. The ordinance will include a schedule of per acre cost including reasonable interest. The separate proposed water connection district of approximately 1,221.33 acres is shown in Attachment A, along with the property owners that are to be served by this main. The estimated connection fee for water main improvements is $900.66 per acre. The ordinance will include a schedule of per acre cost including reasonable interest. Attachment B includes a listing of all parcels included in the connection district. The general locations of the water and sanitary sewer mains are shown in Attachment C. City property at 207 S Teller Ave is not included in the water or sewer connection districts because no facilities will be constructed requiring water or sewer service. ALTERNATIVES: 31 1. Set a public hearing date of JanuaryA(f, 2023, for establishment of water and sanitary sewer connection districts in the Prairie View Industrial area and direct the City Attorney to prepare ordinances to establish these districts to recover the City costs to install utilities as the properties are developed. 2. Delay setting the public hearing to establish these utility connection districts. CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDED ACTION; By initiating the process to establish these two utility connection districts, Council will set in motion the means for the City to recover the costs of installing the new water and sewer mains. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the City Manger that the Council adopt Alternative No. 1, as described above. pomp � �...
