In that particular memo, I neglected to <br />include specifics on the impact fees charged by some of the metropolitan communities. As <br />you will recall, the memo indicated that four of the communities we contacted in the metro <br />area do have impact fees. We were able to recontact three of them and get the specifics on <br />those. The following table lists the costs in dollars per square foot charged by the Cities of <br />Burnsville, Lakeville, and Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Single Family <br />Multi-Family <br />Churches <br />Commercial/Industrial <br /> <br />Rnrn!:vi11e <br />$0.11 <br />0.15 <br />0.15 <br />0.17 <br /> <br />T ~kevil1e <br />$0.105 <br />0.116 <br /> <br />T .inn T ;tke!: <br />$0.10 <br /> <br />0.147 <br /> <br />0.14 <br /> <br />As you can see from these three communities, a typical single family lot of 10,000 to <br />15,000 square feet would pay $1,000 to $1,500. On the other end, commercial/industrial <br />property would pay on the order of $6,000 to $7,500 per acre. These rates are roughly <br />ten times higher than those being contemplated by the City of Elk River. <br /> <br />It is our understanding that these communities still require the developer to build lateral <br />facilities within ,the developments and the impact fees are used for trunk facilities and/or <br />any oversizing of the internal lateral facilities. <br />
