Chapter 22.56 — DRAINAGE AND SEWER FACILITIES

The city council finds that subdivision and/or development of property within the master planned local drainage areas as outlined in the adopted master plan of storm drains, the master sewer plan and the city engineer's area acreage fee study, will require construction of the facilities described in the aforesaid plans, and that the fees are fairly apportioned within the areas either on the basis of benefits conferred on property proposed for subdivision or on the need for facilities created by the proposed subdivision and/or development of other property within the area. (Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)

The master plan of storm drains, the master sewer plan and the city engineer's area acreage fee study indicate needed storm drains and sewers and divides the city into drainage areas identified as drainage areas A, B, C, F, G and H; and a sewer area generally identified as the entire area of the city.

(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988; Ord. 89-O-113 § 1, 1989)

Based upon actual or estimated costs and prorating the costs of development of said drainage and sewer facilities, the city council has established drainage acreage fees and sewer acreage fees for each of the drainage sewer areas in the city as listed in Section 5.24.020 of the Municipal Code. (Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)

All fees required by this chapter shall be paid into separate drainage acreage fee fund and sewer acreage fee fund.

(Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)

The city administrator shall cause the drainage and sewer acreage fees established by this chapter to be reviewed annually and make a recommendation to the city council whether or not revised fees should be adopted in any drainage or sewerage area. (Ord. 88-O-117 § 1, 1988)

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 22.56.030 payment of such fees will not be required for:

• (1) The use, alteration or enlargement of an existing building or structure or the erection of one or more buildings or structures accessory thereto, or both, on the same lot or parcel of land; provided, the total value, as determined by the chief building official, of all such alteration, enlargement or construction completed within any one-year period does not exceed 1/2 of the current market value, as determined by the chief building official, of all the existing
