MEMORANDUM
TO:
FROM:
DATE:
Mayor and
City Council
Pat Klaers, City Admini
November 24, 1997
SUBJECT: Surface Water Management Impact Fee
Ever since the City established the Surface Water Management Impact Fee
with the adoption of Resolution 94-110 on October 24, 1994, staff has
expressed concerns over this fee being too low.
When a subdivision is approved, a SWM Impact Fee is collected from the
developers, but this is a very small amount of money compared to the total
cost of trunk SWM improvements that are typically necessary and compared
to the benefit the development receives. The SWM tax levy pays the balance
of the improvement expenses and this is acceptable as there are city-wide
benefits for trunk improvements that are located in development projects.
One concern expressed by staff relates to how low the City SWM Impact Fee
is as compared to other developing communities. The balance between city-
wide benefits and expenses and developer benefits and expenses is the
concern. The attached material from the City Engineer in 1994, the City of
Ramsey from 1997, and the City of Otsego from 1995 all show that the Elk
River impact fee is significantly less than what other communities collect. It
is understood that our City fee could be somewhat less based on additional
funds being available through the city-wide SWM levy, but the current level
is still believed to be too low.
Another concern relates to having sufficient funds available to construct the
necessary trunk SWM projects that are dictated by developments. As the
Council knows, the SWM fund started off approximately 2 million dollars in
the hole due to the major projects that were approved in the early 1990s.
These projects included the Highway 10/101/169 interceptor, Deerfield III,
Westwood, County Road 12/13, Western Area Phase II, and the Main and
Evans area (Ditch 10). Financially, the SWM fund in 1997 has just
completed repayment of all the internal loans due to other City funds,
however, the fund still has only a very small amount of money available
annually for new projects due to the annual debt payments on past projects.
All but approximately $55,000 of the SWM levy annually goes toward the
13065 Orono Parkway · P.O. Box 490 · Elk River, MN 55330 · TDD & Phone: (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
debt from past projects. One repayment plan runs through the year 2009 and
another repayment plan is completed in the year 2002. In this regard, there
will not be monies of any significance available for additional projects until at
least 2002. In 2002, an extra approximately $150,000 per year will be
available provided the Council continues the tax levy.
One thing that has helped our current financial status is the fact that no
major projects were necessary in 1997. However, surprises in surface water
management can happen at any time which require expenditures of City
funds. Known projects on the horizon include Ditch 28, Business Center
Drive extension and Waco Avenue, the Core Village area including the 4th
and Norfolk area, County Road 12 project in 1998, and the east Elk River
project including Ditch 10 and the connection between 171~t and County Road
12. If any of these proiects move forward before 2002 and significant SWM
trunk work is necessary, then the current amount of levy annually available
will have to go towards a long term bond which will leave nearly zero funds
available until around the year 2002.
Overall, this is a very difficult public improvement and financial situation,
but we are starting to make progress. Additionally, it is difficult to add more
expenses onto development projects, but any additional expense is clearly
justified and directly related to the benefit the developer receives. When
looking at the Ramsey, Otsego, Burnsville, Lakeville, and Lino Lakes
information from a few years ago, a large increase on our SWM impact fee is
not out of line.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ELK RIVER
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
THE SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT

RE: STORM SEWER IMPACT FEE
Dear Mr. Klaers:
This is a follow-up' io my February. 24,..!994, memo ~n which ! summarized our findings
from a survey of seve/al metrb-Iiolitan communities. In that particular memo, I neglected.to
include specifics or~ the impact fees charged by some of the metropolitan communities. As
you will recall, the memo indicated that four of the communities we contacted in the metro
area do have impact fees. We were able to recontact three of them and get the specifics on
- those. The following table lists the costs i~er square fo__.ot charged by the Cities of
Burnsville, Lakeville, and Lino Lakes.
~ I ~keville I,inn T ~lre~
Single Family $0.11 $0.105 $0.10
Multi-Family 0.15 0.116 ---
Churches 0.15 --- -'-
Commercial/Industrial 0.17 0.147 0.14
As you can' see. from these three communities, a typical single family lot of 10,000 toL. xd
15,000 Square feet would pay $1,000 to $1,500. On the other end, commercialJindustrial /v'-~x
property would pay on the orde; of $6,000 to $7,500 per aCre. These rates are roughly~
ten times higher than those being contemplated by the City of Elk River. t/
It is our understanding that these communities s_.~l!_require the developer to build lateral
facilities within the developments and the'impact fees are used for tru~lities and/or
any oversizing of the internal lateral hciiifies.

The Ramsey City Council met on
Tuesday, June 24, 1997, and heard
comments from residents on 149th Avenue
ab, he large amount of traffic in the

road off 160th Lane to the south.
An ordinance was adopted in November 1996,
requiring that the exterior finish on all residential,
commercial, and institutional structures and accessory
buildings be completed within one year of the start of the
xvork. All permi'ttees ~vere notified of this action in January.

an ingress and egress driveway permanent easement
across the parcel on the south side of the Econ Marketing
property to Econ Marketing.

to the Fish Pond, which is a youth center in Anoka.
Council met on Tuesday, July 8, 1997, and
received a petition to consider a cul-de-sac on 149th
Avenue. Council discussed the fact that the extension of
County Road #116 would aide in alleviating some of the
traff~c problem in this area. Citizens were urged to contact

7.3 Resolution Re: VanTatenhov~ I~
Mayor Freske asked Mr. VanTatenhove if heX'-is ax~ar~ussions regarding the
$1,000. per acre for impact fees and if he has any questions.
Mr. VanTatenhove'said he feels like all of this is over-kill on his project. This is a sandy
area, the impact fees will kill his project. He had this project pre-sold to Ziegler
Construction but doesn't think it is feasible compared to other projects in the area. His
p~chase agreem~ent with t_he property owners, if it doesn't work out feasibly, will be null
'ax,.d void. Mr. VanTatenhove asked if he would have to have the black topping done in
order to get Building Permits next Spring, he would like to do only the first lift this Fall.
Another problem is getting the utilities in. He could get the grading done this Fall.
The Council discussed the issuing of building permits, road escrow and pointed out to Mr.
VanTatenhove he will start running into storm water impact tees with other communities.
The Council suggested that Mr. VanTatenhove discuss these issues with the City
Engineer, who should be available in a week, and with Elaine Beatty.
CM Black motioned the approval of adoption of the Resolution. Seconded CM
Fournier. All in favor. Motion carried.

CM Fournier stated the concern of the size of the original plat submitted. The Church
addressed the size issue concern and have also responded to other issues of removin,2 the
ball fields and submitted the septic information. CM Fournier commented also on th~
concern of future expanding which he doesn't see as a problem. He feels that when a
Church reaches a certain point, they split. If the building was to be left empty, and if this
area is truly a commercial one, there would be no problem. CM Fournier recoenized the
lost in tax base but felt you can't compare that to what a Church can do for a C~ommunitv
in terms of their special programs, se,wes as a place of gathering which contributes sociailv
and spiritually to the lite of the community. CM Fournier stated, having a Church in the
Community gives a positive effect on moral attitude which affects the quality of life. CM
Fournier supports Christ Lutheran Churches requests.
CM Black opposes this motion based on his previous statement.
Mayor Freske motioned to send the Request for Preliminary and Final Plat
Approval back to the Planning Commission. Seconded by CM Fournier.
