They felt <br /> these fees were designed for large industrial areas with impervious surfaces,whereas <br /> their facility makes an effort to retain their own water runoff and wetlands haven't <br /> increased. They had no concerns with the park dedication fee. <br /> Mayor Dietz explained the state mandates surface water management,but provided <br /> no funding,therefore,the city has been charging these fees since the original <br /> ordinance was adopted in 1994. <br /> UREJ <br />
