nd
Chanhassen 2 Addition as shown in plans dated received February 3, 2012, and including the
attached Findings of Fact and Recommendation, subject to the following conditions:
1. Full park fees in lieu of parkland dedication shall be collected in full at the rate in force upon final plat
submission and approval.
2.Collector and Arterial Roadway Traffic Impact Zone fees will be collected with the final plat.
The fee will be based on the commercial rate of $3,600 per acre. Total due will be
$3,600/acre x 1.76 acres = $6,336.00.
3.All outstanding assessments must be paid prior to final plat. Remaining Trunk Highway
101/Lyman Boulevard assessments are approximately $3,004.
4. Storm water connection fees will be collected with the final plat. The fees are calculated based upon
an area of 1.76 acres as indicated in the Site Plan. Water quality fees were calculated to be 1.76 acres
multiplied by $19,730.00/acre. This is equal to $34,724.80. Water quantity fees were calculated to
be 1.76 acres multiplied by $7,650.00/acre. This is equal to $13,464.00. A credit is applied to the
water quality fee based upon the total acreage treated to NURP recommendations and any skimmer
type structures installed. As the entire lot is to be treated in the NURP basin north of the site the
credit is 1.76 acres multiplied by one-half of the Water Quality fee, or 1.76 acres multiplied by
$9,865.00/acre. This is a credit of $17,362.40. Based upon these calculations, $30,826.40 is due at
the time the final plat is recorded.
