Exhibit A
City Engineer's Report
Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No.11
Background
This project will be constructed and funded under the City of Tigard Neighborhood Sewer
Extension Program(NSEP). Under the program the City of Tigard would install public sewers
to each lot within a project area. At the time the property owner connects to the sewer,the owner
would pay a connection fee of$2,235.00 and reimburse the City for a fair share of the cost of the
public sewer. There is no requirement to connect to the sewer or pay any fee until connection is
made. In addition, property owners are responsible for disconnecting their exist'ng septic
systems according to Washington County rules and for any other modifications necessary to
connect to the public sewer. To be considered for the program,a neighborhood needs to submit
evidence of resident support of a project. Both residents that will be provided with service have
shown continuous interest for a project.
Project Area-Zone of Benefit
An existing sanitary sewer line is located on S W 100th Avenue as shown on Exhibit Map B. The
line would be extended west along SW Hill View St.to serve two properties on the south side of
the street east of SW 102nd Avenue. The property at the southwest comer of SW 100th Avenue
and SW Hill View St.is currently served by the sewer in SW 100th Avenue and is not included
in the proposed district. Similarly,the properties on the north side of the street are served by a
public line that that extends vest from SW 100th Avenue behind the houses. There is no need
for future extensions of the proposed line.
Cost
The estimated cost for the sanitary sewer construction is$16,740. Engineering and inspection
fees amount to$2,260(13.5%)as defined in TMC 13.09.040(1).The total project cost
including these fees is$19,000 This entire amount should be reimbursed to the NSEP fund as
properties connect to the sewer and pay their fair share of the total amount.
In addition to sharing the cost of the public sewer line,each property owner will be required to
pay an additional$2,235 connection and inspection fee when connection to the public line is
made,and will be responsible for all plumbing costs required for work done on private property.
Reimbursement Rate
All properties in this area are zoned R-3.5 and have similar lot sizes Ts can be seen in Exhibit
Map B. Therefore,it is recommended that the total cost of the project be divided equally among
the two properties included in the reimbursement district.
Other reimbursement methods include basing the proportional share upon the square footage of
each property or by the length of frontage of each property. Because all properties are similar in
size,the square footage method is not recommended for this reimbursement district. The length
of frontage method is not recommended because there is no need to extend the line along the
westernmost property but the line will be extended along the frontage of the property on SW 100
SW that will not be served by the proposed line.
Each property's estimated fair share of the public sewer line is$9,500.
Annual Fee Adiustment
TMC 13.09.115 states that an annual percentage rate shall be applied to each property owner's
fair share of the sewer line costs on the anniversary date of the reimbursement agreement. The
Finance Director has set the annual interest rate at 6.05%as stated in City of Tigard resolution
No.98-22.
Recommendation
It is recommended t-1;at a reimbursement district be formed with an annual fee increase as
indicated above and that the reimbursement district continue for fifteen years as provided in the
Tigard Municipal Code(TMC)13.09.1 10(5). Fifteen years after the formation of the
reimbursement district,properties connecting to the sewer would no longer be required to pay the
reimbursernent fee.
