§ 51.002 WATER AND SEWER INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT POLICY; IMPACT FEES.
   (A)   The Village Water and Sewer Infrastructure Development Policy attached as division (D) hereinbelow is hereby adopted and approved in all respects, and shall be implemented immediately upon the effective date of this section.
   (B)   It shall hereafter be the policy of the village to require payment of all fees contained in the Water and Sewer Infrastructure Development Policy as a condition of the annexation of property or upon the issuance of a building permit for any property within the corporate limits of the village on the effective date of this section. Additionally, the annexation of territory into the village after the effective date of this section shall be effected pursuant to an annexation agreement which expressly requires the owner/developer to comply with the Village Water and Sewer Infrastructure Development Policy and the payment of all fees required therein.
   (C)   The President, Village Clerk, Trustees and standing committees of the village are authorized to perform such further acts as may be deemed reasonable or necessary in enforcing the provisions of the Water and Sewer Infrastructure Development Policy on residential, commercial and industrial developments within the village.
   (D)   The following are water and sewer acreage impact fees.
      (1)   Wastewater treatment (based on facility plan cost estimate).
         (a)   $2,500,000 treatment plant estimate for the new Mazon Wastewater Treatment Plant based on the facility planning report dated December, 2004 and updated in 2007 for the IEPA loan preapplication.
         (b)   Plant Capacity = 199,000 gal./day design average flow.
         (c)   The plant is projected to serve an additional 462 people based on an existing average flow of 142,000 gal./day. Based on an existing population of 950 people being served by the new plant, thus a total population tributary to the new plant of 1,412, the following percentage of the plant construction cost is calculated to serve new growth and development. 462/1,412 = 33%; 33% of $2,500,000 equals $825,000.
         (d)   Based on residential development of two dwelling units per acre and two and one-half residents per dwelling unit, a calculated density of five residents per acre for new development is estimated. Thus, 462 new sewer users, at five residents per acre will utilize 92 acres.
         (e)   An acreage fee for wastewater treatment is thus calculated as $825,000/92 acres equals $8,967/acre based on a fee payment in July of 2006 (CCI = 7,642). Division (D)(5) shows the updated fees for the current year. This division will be updated effective May 1 of each year based on the previous 12-month average construction cost index as published in the Engineering News Record.
      (2)   Wastewater collection (based on planning costs). Based on Exhibit 1 and Table A, attached, a total cost estimate of $8,193,790 is calculated to serve 5,779 acres. This equates to $l,418/acre based on construction in July, 2006 (CCI = 7,642). Master planned sewers and additional sewers designed and built that benefit off-site acreage will be handled through a conventional recapture agreement between property owner’s/developer's. Impact fees collected as part of this section only deal with the specified master planned trunk sewers identified in Exhibit 1 and Table A.
      (3)   Water treatment (based on actual costs).
         (a)   Based on future development requiring the drilling of deep wells and the:
            1.   New 0.403 mgd ion exchange plant bid at $854,000 in July, 2004;
            2.   Treatment cost then estimated at $854,000 / 0.403 mgd = $2.12/gal.;
            3.   Additional well capacity at $300,000 / 0.432 mgd = $0.69/gal. - 2004 cost basis.
               a.   A water treatment impact fee of $2.81/gal. is calculated based on the combined cost of plant expansion and additional well capacity.
               b.   Based on a residential development density of five residents per acre, with each resident using 100 gal./day, 500 gallons per acre of treated water is estimated.
               c.   An acreage cost is then calculated as 500 gal/acre x $2.81/gal. which equals $l,405/acre based on fee payment in 2004.
         (b)   Based on a construction cost index of 7115 for 2004 as published in the Engineering News Record, and a cost index of 7,642 for the 12-month average ending with July, 2006 , a water treatment impact fee of $l,509/acre is calculated based on a fee payment in July of 2006.
      (4)   Water distribution (based on planning costs).
         (a)   Based on typical water line capital improvements estimated at $40/lineal foot, an acreage fee of $800/acre is estimated for providing all large (greater than eight-inch diameter) mains to existing undeveloped areas.
         (b)   Master planned water mains and additional water mains designed and built that benefit off-site acreage will be handled through a conventional recapture agreement between property owners/developer's. Impact fees collected as part of this ordinance only deal with specified master planned water mains as identified in an attached exhibit.
         (c)   Elevated storage will be required and is based on recent bids of $2/gal., which equates to a $108,000 expenditure or $1000/acre based on serving the 538 residents or 108 undeveloped acres referenced in division (D)(1) above.
         (d)   A water distribution and storage impact fee of $l,800/acre is calculated based on fee payment in July of 2006 (CCI = 7,642).
      (4)   Total water and sewer impact fee determination; updated to 5/1/08 costs. The four components of the W&S Impact Fee are summarized as follows:
