recommendation to City Council. He then introduced Ron Bavarian of Walsh
Engineering.

Impact Fee Study that was given to the Commissioners. He stated that this is the
fourth study he has done since 1990. He briefly went over page 3, which explained
the City's land area. He stated that the City contains almost 40 square miles and
Shadow Creek Ranch contains 5.41 of those square miles. He then stated that in
1996 the square mileage was 24 square miles, and in 1993 it was 19.7 which means
from 1993 — 1999 the square mileage of the City has doubled. He pointed out that on
page 4 is Table 1, which gives a breakdown of the Land Use as of June 1999. He
briefly went over the population chart. He went over Table 4 which consisted of
construction trends, Table 7 which consists of Water Demands and Capacities, and
Table 9 which consists of the Wastewater Treatment Demand, which he stated that we
will be up to 7.6 MGD before we get to the New Year, which means we are ahead. He
then went over Table 15, which breaks down the Impact Fee Calculations and he
explained that there are 19 projects under the Water Impact Section and 17 projects
under the Wastewater Impact Section. He briefly went over the proposed increase for
the Impact Fees. He explained that the proposed water impact fees is $1403.00 and
9
the proposed sewer impact fees is $2060.00, therefore the total of $1997.00 could
actually increase to $3463.00. He briefly went over the attachment, which consisted of
the projections for Shadow Creek Ranch. He stated that Table 1 consists of the
projected service units for the future, and Table 2 is the Impact fee calculation
schedule.
Director of Community Development and Services Gene Tumlinson handed out the
current impact fee table that the permit department uses to figure impact fees, and he
stated that the in the future the chart will be amended.
Vice-Chairman Scott made a recommendation to forward the 1999 Water and Sewer
Impact Fee Study to City Council for approval, and Commissioner Beltz seconded the
motion.
