Objective 9.6.2. - Growth-Induced Capital Costs.

New growth assessed a fair share of capital costs associated with the County's potable water system.

Policy 9.6.2.1. Continue to require that new growth pay its full share of needed capital facilities, through payment of facility investment fees (or other such fees) to fund necessary expansion of water supply, treatment, storage, and major distribution systems associated with this growth. This requirement will also apply to any increases in wholesale customer commitments.

Implementation Mechanism:

(a)

Wholesale and retail facility investment fees, or other fees, assessed by Manatee County in a manner consistent with this policy for application directly to costs of capital facility expansions, or for coverage of associated debt service.

Policy 9.6.2.2. Require that new development pay for the full cost of installation of all water distribution system components which are needed on and off the development site to effectuate potable water service to the site to meet adopted level of service standards.

Implementation Mechanism:

(a)

Land development agreements consistent with state and local regulations or other public-private agreements implementing this policy.

Policy 9.6.2.3. Require new development to oversize the water distribution system where needed to efficiently distribute potable water to development. Where a development is required to oversize any component of the water distribution system for purposes of increasing system capacity to greater than that required by the proposed project, Manatee County shall pay for the cost of additional materials necessary for oversizing. Manatee County shall not pay for labor costs associated with installation of the oversized distribution system, unless substantial differences in pipe diameters (or other infrastructure parameters) cause a significant increase in labor costs.

Implementation Mechanism:

(a)

Land development agreements pursuant to state and local regulations or other public-private agreements implementing this policy.
