The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems is based on <br /> ,requirements set forth in ORS 223.297: <br /> • Reimbursement fees "shall promote the objective that future system users contribute no <br /> j more than an equitable share to the cost of reserve capacity in the existing facilities." <br /> • Improvement fees shall be established considering "the cost of projected capital <br /> improvements needed to increase the capacity of the systems to which the fee is related." <br /> • Credits are required for "qualified public improvements." <br /> This general approach is illustrated in Figure 1 and can be outlined in the following steps: <br /> !I (1) Determine System Service Characteristics. <br /> j D System consists of several components (e.g., lines, pump stations, force mains, <br /> manholes are components of the wastewater system). <br /> D Establish impact measure -that feature of development that best reflects use of <br /> system capacity (e.g., trips for the transportation system, impervious surface for the <br /> stormwater system, etc.). <br /> (2) Determine System Value, including associated costs such as design, construction, right <br /> of way acquisition and project administration. <br /> D Use replacement cost (current construction costs). <br /> ~ D Determine capacity-oriented cost of system, net of assessments and grants. <br /> D Determine ratio of Improvement and Reimbursement portions of charge, if any. <br /> (3) Allocate the system value to the unit of impact (e.g., cost per unit of impervious area for <br /> stormwater system). <br /> (4) Determine the service impact of specific development types (e.g., SFD, manufactured <br /> home parks, commercial, industrial etc.). <br /> ~I <br /> Ii Final calculations will be rounded to the nearest dollar. <br /> 2.2.1 Administrative Costs <br /> Ad~iraistrative costs'are°esbtii~itl~t~t't'l~lind~inc[udeathe~peii4cliCsart <br /> _ _ and irtdirect costs associate~i~lvith~ccsmplyiri~g with.#~~:;te uirements of-~~t~ <br /> 4 colt of administering the~SDC~:~'<An ;~T~nin1`5trative ~hat~'e'shallbe incud=~ . <br /> the following`occurs: <br /> (1); When a redevelopment occurs~that changes the,Lse:ofa..buildrng„jet ~r <br /> it i~ determined that usage ofiany capital~improvement-.~s iricreased.o' _ , a's=:~ <br /> additional capital improvements. <br /> r- The administrative:fee"w~II:C~lgulated:~ithgr,~as a percentag~,r~tf <br /> er cr d' s`are`a ~ i `d:or`~~t a flat`~~ate "~`hichever is~h~~~Eie~ ~ ' <br /> char eaft e it I e <br /> pp ~ ~ ~ilN ~ 1. ~ . <br /> 9 <br /> I~ the SDC fee scheduleon a e F-.7„of A <br /> P 9 pperidix F. <br /> i <br /> (2~ When a redevelopment occurs#haX changes the use:afsa=bulding,~nxits:~tu'~ <br /> and itis determinedthat'there;~ivili~ties't~ ~nct`~ased ~3~age~of any~caprtal=~mprot~~me~j~~t <br /> i ~ no' additional capital improvements willbe"heeded: <br /> The administrativer~#ee wi11`,be~~'pplied ati"a,flafYrate`as.listgd~'ir~'t ~ <br /> <br /> i _ <br /> <br /> ~ ' schec~~le on pate.F 7'of Appendix F. <br /> City of Eugene SDC Methodology Page 5 <br /> <br />
