RAver <br /> <br />13065 0r0n0 Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Item I 3.4. <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Cliff Skogstad, Chief Building Official ~ <br /> <br />August 28, 2001 <br /> <br />SAC and WAC"Charges for 14181 Business Center Drive <br /> <br />Provided for you with this memo is a letter from Timco Construction regarding the SAC <br />and WAC charges placed on the medical building at the above aforementioned address. Mr. <br />Gobel is requesting a 5.65 unit reduction of SAC and WAC charges. This totals $7, 345.00 <br />for SAC charges and $7,627.50 for WAC charge. A total of $14,972.50. This reduction is <br />based on how the Metropolitan Council reviews their SAC charges in the metro area. The <br />city codes SAC unit numbers are also based from the Met Council. However, in the city <br />code there is no flexibility in regards to lessen this fixture count. Mr. Gobel's letter indicates <br />that he wishes to see the hand sinks be counted as one fixture unit per sink instead 'of two <br />fixture units, and the floor drains be counted as zero. I am uncertain as to why Met Council <br />has changed their policy in regards to these numbers. I am assuming that the floor drains <br />and hand sinks are two areas that are not heavily used in regards of water usage and <br />therefore lessen the fixture unit count on these items. <br /> <br />Our previous clinics such as the old Mork Clinic, Fairview Clinic, and our recent North <br />Memorial Clinic, the SAC charges were based on city code. However, we do not have the <br />amount of sinks and floor drains, that are being provided in the new Allina Building and <br />therefore, lessen their SAC total. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff feels that Met Council has dealt with hospitals and clinics far more than the City of Elk <br />River, and has determined that these appliances are used less than that was previously <br />determined. Therefore, staff is requesting approval of the 5.65 SAC charge reduction for the <br />Allina Building. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.441.7420 <br />Fax: 763.441.7425 <br /> <br />www. ci.elk-rivermn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
