Exhibit A
City Engineer's Report
Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District No. 24 (SW Gaarde Street)
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 $2,335.00 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 existing septic system according to Washington County rules
and for any other modifications necessary to connect to the public sewer.
Project Area - Zone of Benefit
An existing sanitary sewer line in SW Gaarde Street would be extended east
from SW 118th Avenue to serve four lots as shown on Exhibit Map B.
Cost
The estimated cost for the sanitary sewer construction is $68,270. Engineering
and inspection fees amount to $9,220 (13.5%) as defined in TMC 13.09.040(1).
The estimated total project cost is $77,490. This is the amount that should be
reimbursed to the sanitary sewer fund as properties connect to the sewer and
pay their fair share of the total amount. However, the actual amount that each
property owner pays is subject to the City's incentive program for early
connections.
In addition to sharing the cost of the public sewer line, each property owner, will
be required to pay an additional $2,335 connection and inspection fee when
connection to the public line is made. All owners will be responsible for all
plumbing costs required for work done on private property.
Reimbursement Rate
All properties in this area are zoned R-4.5 but vary in lot size from 0.32 acres to
1.92 acres as can be seen in Exhibit Map B. Therefore, it is recommended that
the total cost of the project be divided among the four properties proportional to
the square footage of each property. Resolution 01-46 limits this fee to $6,000
to the extent that is does not exceed $15,000 per owner for connections
completed within three years of final approval of the City Engineer's Report.
Other reimbursement methods include dividing the cost equally among the
owners or by the length of frontage of each property. These methods are not
recommended because there is no correlation between these methods and the
cost of providing service to each lot or the benefit to each lot.
Each property owner's estimated fair share of the public sewer line is $0.59
per square foot of the lot served. Each owner's fair share would be limited
to $6,000 to the extent that it does not exceed $15,000, for connections
completed within three years of City Council approval of the final City
Engineer's Report following construction in accordance with Resolution
01-46 (attached). In addition to paying for the first $6,000, owners will
remain responsible for paying all actual costs that exceed $15,000.
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 that 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) 13.09.110(5).
Fifteen years after the formation of the reimbursement district, properties
connecting to the sewer would no longer be required to pay the reimbursement
fee.
