CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

O¢T
TO: City Administrator October 3h 4 Bl9G?

FROM: City Engineer

SUBJECT: Sewer Cost Sharing in DCC Area 3 = Public Works
Committee October 20, 1987

Reconmendation:

That the City contribute $7,335 out of unallocated funds
in the Sewer Utility Capita! Budget towards the costs of

instaliing a portion of the Developmant Cost Charge Program tor
Sewer Area 3.

Background and Comments:

Sewer Development Cost Charge Area 3 includes a new sewer
pump station and a portion of Sanitary sewer main as shown in

the attached sketch. These facilities sarvice the future
development of City lands south of Stafford Avenue. At}
developments within the area outlined will be paying

development cost charges in the amount of $223 per dwelling
unit to ultimately pay for this facilitye In the development
cost charge calculations, the City fs also required to pay a
portion of the cost, In this case five parcent of the astimated
total. Five percent comes to $7,335.

The Inlet Realty townhouse development and construction of
five homes on Lobb Avenue require a connection to the sanitary
Sewers This connection can be made at this time without
reconstruction of the sanitary sewer main. However, if thay
were To do that, we would be faced In the future with
duplication of the main In order to provide the depth for
servicing of lands to the south. As an alternate, we can
require that the developer construct a portion of the
development cost charge works at his cost and deduct that cost
from the sewer development cost charges which he would
otherwise have to pay. Unfortunately, the development cost

charges payable do not cover the entire cost of the sewer
construction.

In order to resolve this tssue and save the City
considerable money in the future, It is recommended that we pay
The portion which the City must pay sooner or later anyway, and
contribute this towards the cost. The developer il! then
instal! the new main at the depth required and replace a
portion of the existing main to a deeper tavel, and we wil i

have a portion of our future development cost charge facilities
provided for us. f)
