2005 trunk hookup charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer and $2,955 per unit for
watermain. The 2005 SAC charge is $1,525 per unit. All of these charges are based on
the number of SAC units calculated by the Met Council. Since there is an existing
building, only hook-up charges for the additional SAC units will be charged. These
charges will be collected at the time of building permit issuance. Sanitary sewer and
watermain hookup fees may be specially assessed against the parcel.

natural or manmade systems that discharge to a surface water.

A Site Plan Agreement must be prepared which will be done by our offices; however, we need
an estimate on the cost of improvements for the site (erosion control, landscaping, etc.). A
building permit cannot be issued until the Site Plan Agreement has been executed and recorded
at Carver County and financial guarantees submitted to the City. Should you have any questions,
please feel free to call me at 952-227-1134 or e-mail atsaliaff@ci.chanhassen.mn.us
