Atwater Municipal Code Ch. 13.17 Storm Drainage Fee

The owner of any property proposed for development in the diagram attached hereto shall pay a storm drainage fee to the City of Atwater in the amount of $2,500.00 per acre.

(Ord. CS 428, 1980)

In instances where property is proposed for subdivision, the fees shall be paid at the time the final map is approved. In instances where development is proposed for existing lots or parcels, the fees shall be paid as a condition of issuance of the building permit.

(Ord. CS 428, 1980)

The fees imposed hereunder shall be deposited in a special fund to be entitle, 93 Planned Local Drainage Facilities Fund #2.94 Monies in such funds shall be expended solely for the construction or reimbursement for construction of local drainage facilities designed to serve the area from which the fees were collected.

All commercial, industrial and multi-family developments shall be designed so as not to produce more runoff per acre than that which is generated by a normal single-family development. In lieu of observing the restriction contained in this section, the owner may, upon approval by the Director of Public Works, elect to pay an increased drainage fee. Such increased fee shall bear the same relationship to the standard fee as the total per acre runoff of the proposed development bears to the normal per acre runoff generated by a single-family subdivision. The fees for multiple-family developments shall not exceed $3,500.00 per acre and the fees for industrial/commercial developments shall not exceed $4,500.00 per acre.

(Ord. CS 428, 1980)

In lieu of payment of all or a portion of the fees imposed by this ordinance, the developer, upon approval of the Director of Public Works, may construct separate facilities transporting water to serve his development to an MID Canal so as to eliminate discharge of storm water into the City 92s storm drainage system. The resulting reduction in fees shall be in direct proportion to the percentage reduction in the quantity of storm water to be discharged into the City 92s system.

(Ord. CS 428, 1980)

The fees imposed hereby are in addition to all other fees and charges imposed by ordinances or resolutions of this City.
