Therefore, additional capacity needs are determined using the <br /> City's existing level of service or the City's planned level of service. In a similar <br /> manner, new development should be credited for past and future bond payments on <br /> existing debt (MWMC) and past Trunk Sewer Levies. <br /> The general approach used to calculate the development charge for various systems <br /> is based on requirements set forth in ORS 223.297: <br /> • Reimbursement fees "shall promote the objective that future system users <br /> contribute no more than an equitable share to the cost of reserve capacity in <br /> the existing facilities." <br /> • Improvement fees shall be established considering "the cost of projected <br /> capital improvements needed to increase the capacity of the systems to which <br /> the fee is related." <br /> • Credits are required for "qualified public improvements." <br /> <br /> February 24, 1993 Methodologies: City of Eugene SDCs Page 5 <br /> <br />
