,t; <br /> Equitable Share of Public Facility frosts: as used in the development of SDCs, the City's cost of <br /> providing system capacity, a8ocated to new development relative to the development's impact or use <br /> of system capacity. <br /> Impact Measurement: the unit of system capacity used to determine the relative effect. of a new <br /> development on the capacity of a specific system. For example, plumbing fixture units are used to <br /> determine the effect of development on the wastewater system. <br /> Impervious Surface: used as an impact measure for the stormwater SDC. An impervious surface <br /> is that which prevents or retards saturation of water into the surface of the soil or causes water to <br /> rvn off the surface in greater quantity or an increased rate of flow compared to the natural condition <br /> of the property before development. Asphalt, concrete, and roofing materials are examples of <br /> impervious materials. <br /> Improvement Fee: the portion of the system-specific SDC charged to cover an equitable share of <br /> the capital improvements required to increase capacity of the system to accommodate new <br /> development. <br /> Level of Service: (per unit of development) - as used in development of SDC rates, represents the <br /> amount of system (orsub-system) capacity provided at a certain point in time. The current level of <br /> service is used as the basis for determining the system impacts of new development. This is <br /> presented in terms of the appropriate impact measure. <br /> Methodologies: This document entitled °METHODOLOGIES: City of Eugene, Systems <br /> Development Charges" and any amendment or modification made hereto. <br /> MWMC: Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission -responsible for regional wastewater <br /> treatment. <br /> Physical Improvements (for impact reduction/mitigation): A facility or asset, designed and <br /> constructed at the developer's expense, which is owned and maintained by the property owner or <br /> owners agent; not a program or activity or naturally occurring physical attribute. <br /> Proportionate Share of Public Facility Costs: the cost of capital improvements which are <br /> reasonably attributable to new development. <br /> PFU: Plumbing Fixture Units -defined in the state Uniform Plumbing Code. A rating assigned to <br /> different drainage fixtures depending on drain pipe or fixture site. <br /> Reimbursement Fee: the portion of the system-specific SDC charged to recoup the community's <br /> past or current investment in extra capacity in antiapation of future growth. An example is the facility <br /> equalization charge established by MWMC to recoup the regional investment in extra capacity made <br /> for the wastewater treatment facility. <br /> Replacement Costs: the cost (in current fiscal year dollars) of replacing existing system capacity. <br /> SDC Eligible Costs: system value net of assessable costs, grants and outstanding debt. This cost <br /> is allocated to all development in proportion to its impact on system capacity. <br /> <br /> March 01, 1997 Methodologies: City of Eugene SDCs Page B-2 <br /> <br />
