Mr Abernethy Page 2 March 22, 1996 • Additionally, all of the State allotment of IRB funds have been dispersed and there are no more funds available for 1996. Regarding other fees that you inquired about in our phone conversations, I would.like to advise you that the City follows the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) standards for sewer availability units and water availability units. The city sewer availability charge (SAC) is $1,300 per unit. The ERMU water availability charge (WAC), some of which is collected at the time of hook up and some of which is collected at the time of building permit issuance, is $1,000 per unit. Using the formula from the MWCC, the 150,000 square foot warehouse, assembly, and office facility would be charged 33.75 units. Using a more liberal interpretation of the facility, which means that we would not strictly follow the formula but would follow an outline for the building according to its planned uses, we arrive at 26.9 units. In your case in Elk River, we would favor a more liberal and flexible approach in determining SAC and WAC units. Other charges that come to mind regarding this project include the surface • water management fee of$741.60 per acre. This is for the trunk storm water system and does not include the on-site ponding or water retention requirements. The trunk sanitary sewer and trunk water expenses are estimated to be $3,800 per acre and this does not include the lateral lines into the building site. There is no estimate being offered for street costs as this facility is assumed to locate along a County Road or a local street that can handle the traffic volumes for this company. Any other streets would be internal to the property. Until we know more about your client and your proposal, the above mentioned expenses are the ones that immediately come to mind. If the project moves forward in the very near future, the City has put together a timetable that ensures that municipal utilities will be available before the end of the year. This is provided that an application for utilities for the public improvements takes place in the near future and that there are no public hearings for assessments involved in this request for sewer and water. The details of the public improvement project still need to be worked out. Additionally, I have received verbal assurances from ERMU that electrical power would be available provided that adequate notice of the construction of the building is offered.
