Objective 9.2.3. - Growth-Induced Capital Costs.

Assess new growth a fair share of capital costs associated with the County's wastewater system.

Policy 9.2.3.1. Continue to require that new growth pay its full share of needed capital facilities, through payment of facilities investment fees (or other such fees) to fund necessary expansion of wastewater disposal, treatment, and major collection systems associated with this growth. This requirement will also apply to any increase in wholesale customer commitments.

Implementation Mechanism:

(a)

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

Policy 9.2.3.2. Require that new development pay for the full cost of installation of all wastewater collection system components, consistent with the Manatee County Wastewater Collection System Master Plans, which are needed on and off the development site to provide wastewater service to the site, and to meet adopted level of service standards, and Policy 9.1.2.3.

Policy 9.2.3.3. Participate in, and require where needed, oversizing of the wastewater collection system, consistent with the Manatee County Wastewater Collection System Master Plans, to efficiently transport wastewater from development. Where Manatee County requires the oversizing of any component of the wastewater collection system for purposes of increasing system capacity to greater than that required by a 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) significantly increase labor costs.

Implementation Mechanism:

(a)

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