1972/11/06 City Council Resolution (2)RESOLUTION NO. 72 -148
RESOLUTION CONCERNING PER ACRE
FOR DEVELOPMENT CHARGE
WHEREAS, over the years the City of Rohnert Park has charged
for sewer and water connection fees by the levy of a per acre fee, and
WHEREAS, said fee has consistently been levied on a per acre
basis regardless of the type of use being developed on the land, and
WHEREAS, said fee has been adjusted from time to time to reflect
revised cost estimates for eventual facilities to be constructed, and
WHEREAS, the City proposes to finance from said fee the nec-
essary water production and treatment facilities, and waste water
treatment and disposal facilities, and
WHEREAS, included in the term facilities in the preceding
paragraph are either sewer or water mains 10 inches in diameter
or larger, and
WHEREAS, Consulting Engineer Milton Hudis recently submitted
a report outlining the anticipated major water and sewer facilities
to be required in the orderly development of the city, a copy of
which is attached to the original of this resolution, and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that the eventual cost to the city
for said facilities is dependent on many factors, not the least
of which are changing requirements for treatment of waste water and'
the success of the city in securing State or Federal grants, and
WHEREAS, the Council desires to levy a fair fee and yet protect
the city's long range interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of
Rohnert Park that effective with the adoption of this resolution,
the city's per acre for development fee shall be $2,734 per acre.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the receipt of per acre for develop-
ment fee must be in increments large enough for the city to have
the financial capability to provide the needed facilities a reason-
able length of time in advance of development.
DULY AND REGULARLY ADOPTED this 6th day of November, 1972.

The following is in accordance with your request to
assessment required by the City of Rohnert Park to
lities required to serve the area with the present
boundaries.

reevaluate the acreage
construct the major faci-
City of Rohnert Park
Although in the past we have included major roads and bridges within this
evaluation, the cost of the roads and bridges were always considered to be
offset by anticipated gas tax funds. Such an evaluation only clouded the
breakdown of costs which should be assessed to the property owners, namely,
major sewer and water facilities. This report, therefore, only considers the
costs for major sewer and water facilities.
In order to arrive at the required sewer plant capacities, number of water
wells, storage tanks, etc., we assummed an ultimate population of 40,000
people, basing this assumption on the existing Master Plan of the City of
Rohnert Park with the exception that we eliminated the regional park where
indicated on the plan.
The cost required for the expansion of the sewer plant facilities and the
construction of an interceptor trunk line to the City of Santa Rosa's Laguna
plant, cost of paying for the increased capacity required at the Laguna
plant, etc., were obtained from the firm of Yoder - Trotter -Orlob & Associates.
These figures as presented in this report include these estimated costs plus
an increase of 30% to account for engineering, contingencies, and bond dis-
count should these facilities be constructed via an assessment district. The
number of wells and storage tanks required was based on an assumption of
maximum well capacities of 400 G.P.M.
Although the last two wells drilled within the City of Rohnert Park have
produced in excess of this amount, we did not feel that a study of this type
could anticipate the greater production and still be on the safe side.
The balance of the lands within the City of Rohnert Park as yet unassessed,
not including lands containing approved Tentative Maps, is as follows:

In our discussion with the firm of Yoder - Trotter -Orlob & Associates we were
advised that it was reasonable to anticipate the continuance of grant monies
as presently funded by both the state and federal government. We, therefore,
only included 20% of the cost of sewer plant expansion as required to be
assessed to the property owners.

The final amounts required for major facilities are, therefore:
Sewer trunk lines
Water wells and tanks
Sewer plant facilities - $6,230,000.00 x .2
GRAND TOTAL
Less amount to be received from Holiday Park
Subdivisions after developer is given credit
for construction of excess 12" sewer line
