Assessable Area Prairie Road: Assessable Area Irving Road: Total Assessable Area: 1,202,489.00/Square Feet 658,242.00/Square Feet 1,860,731.00/Square Feet Lateral Cost: Service Cost: $ $ 0.49/per square foot of assessable area 3,558.00/each The City Engineer proposes that, as with other assessments for sewer construction in the River Road Santa Clara area, property owners intending to connect to the sewers upon completion of the construction, should also be charged the Wastewater Systems Development Charge (SDC). This offers the advantage to the property owner of combining the SDC with the assessment, and the hearings officer joins in this recommendation. The SDC charges are composed of two elements, the local component and the regional component. The City (local) Wastewater Systems Development Charge in the River Road/Santa Clara/Highway 99 Area has been established as a specific rate of 2.5 cents per square foot of the total lot size. This rate is based on the developable acres in the area and on the trunk sewer, pump stations, and force main costs necessary to service this area and River Road/Santa Clara. The charge is a reimbursement for the City's portion of the wastewater system for this specific area only, and is charged to all new sewer users at the time they connect with the system. The MWMC (regional) Wastewater Systems Development Charge is a charge providing reimbursement to the MWMC for the cost of the wastewater treatment plant and associated systems. The MWMC wastewater SDC is currently in a 30-day public review period and is expected to be implemented by July 7, 1997. The City Manager will sign an administrative rule adopting the methodology and associated rates. All properties assessed within the district will be eligible for ten-year financing of the final assessment, and the SDC charges, through the City. Residential properties may be eligible for low-income deferral programs for those property owners who qualify. Qualification will be determined at the time of final assessment. PUBLIC HEARING Eugene Public Works Engineering staff provided the Hearings Official with a memorandum which outlined the information set forth above.
