is Section 3. Section 18-63 (a) of the City Code, City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
All subdivisions shall comply with the city's surface water management plan dated August 2006,
which is incorporated herein by this reference.
Section 4. Section 18-63 (b) of the City Code, City of Chanhassen, Minnesota, is hereby
amended to read as follows:
In accordance with the city's surface water management plan as a condition of subdivision
approval, subdividers shall pay a water quality and water quantity connection charge. The charge
shall be based upon the gross area of the subdivision less the area to be dedicated to the city for
ponding, parks and wetland, and right-of-way for state highways, county roads, and local arterial
roadways. The connection charges per acre for water quality and water quantity are outlined in
subpart (c) 3 of Section 4-30.
The subdivision will be given a credit for on -site stormwater quality improvements that are
designed to treat runoff from the subdivision to NURP standards. The credit will be calculated
using the following formula: The per acre water quality connection charge will be multiplied by
the on -site drainage area for water quality treatment facilities. This value will then be multiplied
by 50 percent. The subdivision will also be given a credit for on -site storm water quality
• improvements that are oversized to treat runoff from property outside the subdivision to NURP
• standards. The credit will be calculated using the following formula: The per acre water quality
connection charge will be multiplied by the off -site drainage area for water quality treatment
facilities. This value will then be multiplied by 50 percent. Credit will not be granted if the
stormwater from contributing off -site areas is already treated to NURP standards. The water
quality connection charges that correspond to the land uses that contribute to the stormwater
ponds will be used to calculate credits.
•
The charge for lots oversized due to individual on -site sewage disposal and water systems will be
reduced to the charge that would be imposed on a one -half -acre lot. An additional charge will
then be imposed if the lot is further subdivided less a credit for the charge previously paid. The
charge shall be paid in cash before the subdivision is approved by the city unless the city and
subdivider agree that the charge may be assessed against the property. Property being subdivided
shall be exempt from the water quality and water quantity connection charges imposed by this
section if the charges were paid or assessed in conjunction with a previous subdivision of the
property and if the property is not being zoned to a classification with a higher charge.
Section 5. This ordinance shall be effective immediately upon its passage and publication.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 12`h day of February, 2007, by the City Council of the
City of Chanhassen, Minnesota.
