~ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Clifford M. Skogstad, (~ <br />Building Official <br /> <br />DATE: July 1, 1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Units Charge for Hotels/Motels <br /> <br />After talking with Mr. John Dietz on June 30, 1998, regarding the unit <br />changes for hotels and motels, I felt a brief explanation would be appropriate. <br />At this time, city codes dictate that hotels and motels should be charged 1 <br />unit per room and that pools, saunas, Jacuzzis, game rooms and exercise <br />rooms should be of no charge for this facility. Our current code for <br />apartments is .8 units per apartment unit. When comparing these two, <br />clearly it shows that apartments would be a lot heavier use than a hotel or <br />motel unit. For instance, apartments have kitchens and laundry rooms and <br />sometimes two bathrooms. These also can have an occupant load of I to 6 <br />people per apartment unit. <br /> <br />Staff felt that reducing hotel/motels to .8 unit would be too high for the use. <br />With the information that Sands Company provided for us regarding other <br />community unit charges, staff determined that a .5 charge per unit would be <br />consistent with other municipalities and would be more consistent with the <br />use for which it is intended. If this unit price was acceptable, the SAC charge <br />for a 78 unit hotel project would be a 39 unit charge. Please keep in mind <br />when determining the total unit charges for this type of facility, additional <br />charges would be imposed to areas such as banquet rooms, cocktail lounges <br />and complimentary breakfast areas. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding the information I have provided, please <br />don't hesitate to call me at the city offices. <br /> <br /> s:\b&z\cliffkhotelsac.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
