A. Any person desiring to apply for the extension of water and/or sanitary sewer service within or outside the City limits, shall be required to pay a construction drawing review project processing fee. The City shall base the fee upon the following three criteria: (1) the linear footage of pipes to be installed and/or (2) an established flat fee and/or (3) a percentage of the estimated construction costs for special appurtenances.

1. The linear footage for sewer mains shall be calculated on manhole to manhole runs and manhole to clean out runs but shall not include 6-inch side sewer pipes.

2. The linear footage for water mains shall be calculated on all pipe four (4) inches and larger but shall not include service lines or small lines to appurtenances (blow-offs, air vacuum release valves, etc.).

3. The construction drawing review project processing fee for special appurtenances, such as sewage pump stations, pressure reducing valves, booster pump stations, special metering devices, etc., shall be based on a percentage of the estimated cost of construction.

B. Upon submittal of construction drawings for review, a deposit for the construction drawing review project processing fee shall be paid in an amount determined by the Director of Public Works or his/her designee. Such deposit amount shall be based upon an estimate of the linear footage of utility mains to be constructed. The Public Works Director or his/her designee shall subsequently calculate the final fee based upon the actual linear footage of mains to be constructed and/or estimated construction costs. If the final fee is greater than the deposit, the excess shall be paid prior to construction drawing approval. If the final fee is less than the deposit, the overpayment shall be refunded or credited toward additional fees owing at the time of construction drawing approval.

C. Should construction drawings be reviewed and approved and the approval expire prior to the commencement of construction, the construction drawing shall be resubmitted for additional review for compliance with current standards and reapproval and additional construction drawing review project processing fees shall be paid. Should the construction drawing approvals expire after commencement of construction, because construction was terminated or halted for a period of time, construction drawings for any uncompleted work shall be resubmitted for additional review for compliance with current standards and reapproval and an additional Construction Drawing Review Project Processing Fee shall be paid as designated pursuant to 13.38.060.

D. Should construction drawings be submitted and a deposit for the processing fee made and the project abandoned, the deposit shall be forfeited. Should construction drawings be submitted and a deposit for the processing fee made and processing of the construction drawings is delayed for a period of time by the applicant, additional construction drawing review project processing fees shall be paid. Delay by the applicant shall include nonsubmittal of requested additional information, nonsubmittal of revised construction drawings in accordance with the City comments, or direction from the developer to not proceed with review. The fee schedule to apply in these cases shall be as designated pursuant to 13.38.060. (Ord. 1697 § 1, 1992; Ord. 1622 § 1 (part), 1991: Ord. 1553 § 1 (part), 1990).
