MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 1, 2016
SUBJECT: SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING DATE - AMENDMENT OF
IMPACT FEES FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider adopting a resolution establishing November 15, 2016 as the
public hearing date to evaluate the amendment of land use assumptions, capital
improvements plan, the imposition of an impact fee for water and wastewater and take
any necessary action.
BACKGROUND:
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee met with City staff and representatives of Freese
and Nichols, Inc. on July 20 and October 12, 2016 to review the proposed Land Use
Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the planning period of
2016 to 2026. In those meetings, the Freese and Nichols representatives submitted a
draft report addressing various elements of the proposed Land Use Assumptions, Capital
Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for the committee's review.
Based upon the projected population and total acreage of undeveloped land, water and
wastewater demands were developed for 2026. Utilizing these water and wastewater
demands, the City's water and wastewater master plans and additional staff input, Freese
and Nichols developed the Capital Improvements Plan for the planning period of 2016 to
2026. The report provided an assessment of the City's water and wastewater systems
as follows:
Projects constructed before 2016, and
Projects to be constructed between 2016 and 2026.
The consensus of the Impact Fee Advisory Committee was that the proposed land use
assumptions, capital improvement plans and the water and wastewater impact fees are
reasonable and represent anticipated growth in the City and should be adopted by
Council. The recommendations are attached and represent approximately a 10%
increase.
Staff recommends approval.

MEMORANDUM Ci of Grapevine, Texas
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Tim Lancaster, Chairman Impact Fee Advisory Committee -r�
DATE: October 12, 2016
SUBJECT: Recommended Water and Wastewater Impact Fees
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee met with the City staff and representatives of
Freese and Nichols, Inc., on October 12, 2016 to review Maximum Water and
Wastewater Impact Fees that could be imposed for the Ten Year Planning Period of
2016 to 2026. In that meeting, the Freese and Nichols representatives submitted a draft
report addressing various elements of the second and final phase of developing Water
and Wastewater Impact Fees including mandated fee credits.
As with the 2002, 2006, 2011 fees, the recommended fees are at 50% of the maximum
allowable fee in compliance with the 50% credit method of establishing fees outlined in
State Law.
The maximum allowable fee must be calculated to establish the upper limit for the fee
utilizing the credits required by the new law. The Council can then impose any fee less
than or equal to the maximum allowable.
The Impact Fee Advisory Committee recommends that the City Council consider
adopting the following maximum allowable fees:
MAXIMUM FEE AFTER 50% CREDIT
Water $ 1,622 per SFLUE
Wastewater $ 792 per SFLUE
Total $ 2,414 per SFLUE
The recommended fees represent an increase of approximately 10% from the 2011
fees.
