~, <br />E. There are currently two classifications to the MWMC Equalization Fee. The Residential <br />Fee is applicable to single family residences and residential uses of up to two dwelling units, with the ` <br />fee being based on the number of dwelling units in the development.. All other uses are classified as <br />Commercial/industrial. For newly developing Commercial/Industrial property, the fee is currently ,~` <br />calculated based on the number of plumbing fixture units in the development. The fee for existing ~~.,_, <br />ComrnerciaUlndustrial property connecting to the sanitary sewer system for the first time is currently <br />calculated based on the amount of water used by the existing development. <br />F. A one-time credit for MWMC fees is available for newly connecting property within the. <br />City and for property outside the City. The amount of credit for newly connecting property within the <br />City is based on the date of annexation to the City, the date of construction of any improvements <br />since 1978, and the current value of the land and improvements. For development outside the City, <br />the credit is based on the date of assessment for the sewer, the date of construction of any <br />improvements, and the current value of land and improvements. <br />G. MWMC has requested a revision in the MWMC Facilities Equalization Fee and Credits, as <br />provided in EC 7.075(2), for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1996, and I find the proposed MWMC <br />Fees and Credits, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto are established in an amount designed to equal the <br />amount existing system users have paid for reserve capacity since 1978. <br />H. I find that the proposed revisions to the City of Eugene SDC Methodology to establish a <br />large volume wastewater user classification, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, provides a method of <br />equating the impact of the large volume wastewater users with the City's dwelling unit based SDC <br />structure. <br />L I find that the automatic adjustment to the City of Eugene SDC Fees, as set forth in <br />Exhibit A hereto, should be effective July 1, 1996 pursuant to the 1993 SDC Methodology. <br />J. I find that the proposed revisions to the MWMC Equalization Fees and Credits, and the <br />City of Eugene SDC Methodology and Fees, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto are established in <br />conformity with applicable state law, adopted City policies, guidelines, and ordinances, including <br />Sections 2.020 and-7.710 of the Eugene Code, 1971, are comparable. and generally below the fees <br />charged by other jurisdictions, and I therefore intend #o establish the MWMC Facilities Equalization <br />Fees and Credits, and amend the cunrently effective City of Eugene SDC Methodology, as set forth in <br />Exhibit A, to be implemented effective July 1, 1996. <br />On the basis of these findings, I order that: <br />1. Copies of the Notice be provided.to the Mayor and City Councilors, published in the <br />Register Guard, a newspaper of general circulation within the City, posted at two locations at City <br />Hall, and be made available for intere~teci persons at the offices of the City Engineer, 858 Pearl <br />Street, Eugene, Oregon 97401 during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through <br />Friday, exclusive of holidays). <br />2. Alt persons desiring to comment thereon shall submit written comments as set forth in the <br />Notice. I will thereafter establish the fees by an administrative order. <br />Dated this 8th day of May, 1996. <br />v Linda H.
