• ADMINISTRATIVE GUIDELINES FOR EVERETT CITY OF EVERETT SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT FEES WASHINGTON Pursuant to Everett Municipal Code Title 14.08.135,as amended by Ordinance 3632-18,and in accordance with Section 5 of said Ordinance,the following administrative guidelines shall apply to the calculation of System Development Fees(SDF): Section 6 of the Ordinance provides that the SDF may be based on a development's proportional impacts to the utility system when such development is estimated to have a water demand in excess of 15,000 cubic feet per month. Multiple Family Apartment Water-Sewer System Development Fees: For the purposes of this ordinance,the city defines a standard equivalent residential unit(ERU)to have a water demand of 900 cubic feet per month and ascribes that rate to a typical single family residence served by a 3/4-inch meter.Thus,the water and sewer SDF for one ERU equals the total SDF for one 3/-inch meter. Based on the proportional water demand of a typical single family residence versus that of a typical apartment unit,multiple family apartment developments shall be assigned an ERU per Unit factor of 0.45.Therefore,a multi-family apartment development with 38 units,or more,results in an estimated water demand exceeding 15,000 cubic feet per month(38 units X 0.45 X 900 cf/m=15,390 cf/m). Based on the above,multi-family apartment developments with 38 units,or more,shall be charged a per-unit SDF equal to 0.45 times the current 3 -inch meter SDF.This per-unit fee replaces the per-meter fee for multiple family apartment developments. SDF charges for multiple family apartment developments with 38 units,or more,in multiple buildings that are developed together as a part of a larger common plan of development or sale shall be considered in aggregate and the per-unit SDF shall apply. Multiple family apartment developments with less than 38 units will be charged the per-meter fee. Examples(using 2019 fees): A 40 unit apartment building would exceed the 15,000 cf/m demand threshold and would be charged:40 units X 0.45 X$9078.00= $163,404.00. A 25 unit apartment development would not exceed the 15,000 cf/m demand threshold and therefore would be charged a SDF based on the size of the domestic meter(s)installed to serve the development. For example,if the civil engineer specified one 3-inch meter,then the SDF would be$90,779.00. Townhome Developments(single family attached): Townhome development SDF's shall be charged at the rate of 1 ERU(the charge for a 3/4-inch meter)per townhome residence whether each individual townhome is served by a dedicated domestic meter or if the townhomes are collectively served by a single domestic meter. Commercial Developments: Commercial developments that are estimated to exceed the 15,000 cf/m demand threshold will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Impervious Area: Impervious area shall mean new plus replaced hard surfaces as defined in the SWMMWW currently in effect in the city of Everett. 1-1/211 Water Meter System Development Fee: The 1-1/2"water meter size is included for system development fee calculation purposes only.In order for this fee to apply,the applicant must provide calculations for the water demand per the Plumbing Code to demonstrate that a 1-1/2"meter is sufficient for the demand. The 1-1/2"system development fee will be applied,but a 2"meter will need to be purchased,installed,and the 2"monthly rate will apply. Utilities for Plat Improvements: For plat improvements that require city forces to tap the main and install individual water services to serve new lot(s) in a proposed development,the developer shall pay the standard fee for a complete water service minus the standard fee for a meter only plus connection of sewer to main.Then,at the time of building permit issuance for the new lot(s),the building permit applicant will be charged the current standard meter only installation fee and sewer connetion to building along with the current water and sewer system development fees for the associated meter.
