For the purposes of this division, the following words and phrases shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them by this section.
APPROACH WATER MAIN. The portion of a newly constructed water main from an existing main to the closest outer perimeter of a proposed development.
CITY-INITIATED APPROACH WATER MAIN. Any approach water main constructed by the city, regardless of the size or length of the pipe constructed.
CITY PARTICIPATION. The portion of the construction cost that the city reimburses a developer under the policy for the installation of community facilities. CITY PARTICIPATION includes the cost for over-sizing the developer-initiated approach water main.
DEVELOPMENT COST.
(1) The cost incurred by the city related to either a city-initiated approach water main or the city participation costs in a developer-initiated approach water main, which costs are based upon the costs contained in the contracts awarded for the construction of the water main, regardless of the final cost and may include design and easement acquisition costs, including any costs and legal fees associated with condemnation of any easement;
(2) The cost incurred by a developer related to the construction of a developer-initiated approach water main based solely on the cost of the contracts awarded for the construction of such water main, without regard to the final cost and may include design and reasonable easement acquisition costs, but excludes any legal and real estate agent fees and other condemnation expenses; or
(3) Both.
DEVELOPER’S DEVELOPMENT COST PERCENTAGE. The development cost incurred by the developer divided by the development cost, expressed as a percentage.
DEVELOPER-INITIATED APPROACH WATER MAIN. Any approach water main constructed by the developer with city participation, regardless of the length and size of the pipe.
FRONTAGE MAIN. The portion of the sanitary sewer or water main located within the frontage of the developing property.
FRONTAGE MAIN ELIGIBILITY. Frontage main eligibility may only occur when the property's frontage main is shared with another property on the opposing side of the street right-of-way to the developer's property that is owned by a separate landowner not affiliated with the developer.
MAXIMUM DAY DEMAND. The water demand based on total projected capita of the development at the maximum day design criteria. The calculation of the maximum day demand is contained in the most current version of the city’s Policy and Procedure for Processing Water and Wastewater Projects for Design and Construction. For most normal uses, the MAXIMUM DAY DEMAND shall be based on the previous known annual average usage multiplied by the maximum day peaking factor.
OTHER DEVELOPMENT. A property that connects directly to the approach water main to which there is a water main capacity charge as a sole source of water supply to the property. It includes property that connects indirectly to other water mains that connect to the approach water main to which there is a water main capacity charge as a sole source of water supply to the property. If the property is connected to another existing water main for a dual source of water supply for the purpose of water system looping and not for the demand needs of the property, then the property is not considered as OTHER DEVELOPMENT. This is determined by the comprehensive water study submitted for review.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. The property for which service is being requested that requires the construction of the developer-initiated approach water main. The PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT must be delineated on a concept plan or a preliminary plat (if a concept plan is not required) that has been filed with the city’s development department.
WATER MAIN CAPACITY CHARGE. A charge based on 1,000,000 gallons per day (MGD) of maximum day demand generated by a development.
