BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that Section 18-63 of the Chanhassen City Code be revised as
follows:
(a) All subdivisions shall comply with the city's surface water management plan dated
February 1994, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
(b) 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 subdivision will be given a credit for any onsite storm water
improvement which has been oversized to serve property outside the subdivision. The charge for
lots oversized due to individual onsite 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.
(c) Within the Bluff Creek Overlay (BCO) District, meet the additional purpose, intent and
standards of the BCO District.
(d) The fees paid to the city for surface water management connection charges shall be
as established by resolution."
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Chanhassen, Minnesota this 14`h day of
