A lineal foot basis would be used <br /> for water, and a square foot approach would be used for sewers in distributing the costs. The cost <br /> per square foot would be five cents per square foot if inside the city limits, and the cost would be <br /> I� q 1� q �' , <br /> 20 %higher if outside the corporate limits or six cents per square foot. <br /> Dr. Varner noted that a large portion of the cost would have been picked up by the developer, <br /> however that developer is now gone and as a result he voiced concerns with regard to how K-Mart <br /> would be affected. He stated that he does not believe that they should be penalized and suggested <br /> that a city-wide dollar figure be used so that there would be a consistent cost across the board for <br /> any annexation. <br /> Mr. Gilot noted that oversizing costs are not recovered on a per parcel basis. <br /> Council Member Kirsits inquired about the costs proposed. Mr. Gilot stated that the city would be <br /> attempting to break even based on this proposal. <br /> Following discussion, Council Member Coleman made a motion, seconded by Council Member <br /> Kelly that Bill No. 28-01 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. <br /> Council Member Ujdak requested expenditure data on Phase I which Mr. Gilot agreed to provide. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned by <br /> Council Member Kirsits at 4:45 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member Al"Buddy"Kirsits, Chairperson <br /> Utilities Committee <br /> KCF:kmf <br /> Attachment <br /> • <br />
