next to 649 W. Broadway.
David Wilcox was present, representing the proposal. Wilcox stated that
they are appealing .based on the design review and density. They propose
the density of 20 units instead of the 13 that would be allowed un the 15
per acre. Their appeal is based on the assumption that the City Council set
these policies for the Comprehensive Plan and such could wave or change these
policies where circumstances and conditions warrant. They felt that since
this was an Industrial Zone adjacent to Residential and a church and a multi-
family across the street, they basically appeal for the density of 20 units.

etc.

per acre, and did not feel the Council should overrule the denial of Planning

upheld on the Devco 20 unit proposal.

ORDINANCE N0. 339
Pertinent components of the said Section are that:
A. Industrial Cost. Recovery payments shall be in proportion to the
amount o£ Plow (Q), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Suspended Solids (SS) and
any other characteristics of wastes, which contribute to the cost of construc-
tion, the industrial user is contributing to the sewerage system;
I3. Contributing industrial users discharging pretreated process
wastes into the sewerage system shall pay Industrial Cost Recovery based on the
characteristics of the waste effluent from the pretreatment facilities;
C. The City may permit contributing industrial users to reserve
extra or addi Tonal capacity in the sewerage system for future use by the
industry. Such capacity shall be reserved through formal, written agreement
and shall be subject to pertinent Industrial Cost Recovery regulations. The
industrial user shall be required to pay the full Industrial Cost Recovery
allocable to the capacity reserved. In the event that the City has unused
capacity in its sewerage system available for use and the said industrial
user is permitted by the City to exceed its agreed upon reserved capacity,
the industry shall he required to pay Industrial Cost Recovery calculated
on the full reserved capacity plus the additional Industrial.,Cost Recovery
for the use above the limits of the original agreed upon reserve capacity
or any element thereof;
D. All contributing industrial users shall be required to pay
any additional Industrial Cost Recovery charges associated with the cost
of future upgrading the treatment works as may be required of the City to
comply with waste discharge requirements;
E. Industrial Cost Recovery for expansion of the treatment
works shall he required from those industries which have exceeded their
reserved capacity and have been a contributing factor to the need for
expansion. Industrial Cost Recovery payments will be required for that
portion of the expanded capacity which is allocable to the industrial users
discharge;
P. Payments for Industrial Cost Recovery shall begin within a
month of the date of initiation of service by the industry of the treatment
facility as was constructed with grant assistance furrds and shall continue
for a base period of thirty years. Contributing industrial users shall pay
their share of Industrial Cost Recovery, at no interest, in two hundred and
forty (240) equal monthly payments except that any increase as a result of
using extra capacity beyond. the original agreed upon amount will be in addi-
tion thereto:
G. A contributing industry which connects to the treatment works
at some time after such treatment works have been put into initial service
shall begin Industrial Cost Recovery payments on the date use'is initiated
and shall continue for the unexpired portion of the initial base period of
twenty years for Industrial Cost Recovery or until the new industry ceases
the use of the facility whichever occurs first. The total Tndustrial Cost
Recovery payment from a "new" contributing industry shall be the Federal
cost of the capacity used multiplied by the ratio of its period of use to
the Industrial Cost Recovery base period of twenty years.
H. The amount of payment required from an industry for Indus-
trial Cost Recovery is to be determined by the following procedure:
(1) The costs of the treatment facility shall be allocated
in proportion to the benefit of the proposed facility to each wastewater
characteristic as follows:
Q ='S4°s of Grant Amount
BOD = 240 of Grant Nnount
SS = 22$ of Grant Amount
The cost of any future expansion, upgrading, or recon-
struction of the waste treatment facility shall be allocated in proportion
ORDINAfdCE N0. 339
to the benefit of the said improvement to any wastewater characteristic so
benefited at that time;
(2) The total cost per unit of each characteristic shall be
calculated as follows
Q Unit Cost = (Grant Amount)(Percent of Grant Amount Allocated to~
('Cotal llesign Florv of Facility in Gallons per Day)
BOD Unit Cost = (Grant Amount)(Percent of Grant Amount Allocated to B0:
'Total Desgn.BOD Capability of-Facility in Poun s per
SS Unit Cost (Grant Amount)(Percent of Grant Amount Allocated to
(Total llesign SS Capability of Facility in Pounds .P
(3) The cost to an industry for Industrial Cost Recovery
(ICR) is calculated as follows:
'T'otal ICR Cost = (Industry's Final Reserved Amount of Q)(Q Unit Cost)
+(Industry's Final Reserved Amount of BOD)(BOD Unit Cost)..
+(Industry's Final Reserved Amount of SS)(SS Unit Cost)
Annual ICR Cost = Total ICR Cost
Monthlv ICR Cost = Total ICR Cost
240
For small. contributing industrial concerns where it is
impractical to develop a monitoring program to measure wasteload discharges,
Industrial Cost Recovery payments may he made on the basis of estimated flows
alone, provided that the industry does not discharge an excessive strength
waste That may disrupt the treatment process as determined by the City. The
Industrial Cost Recovery payments will be calculated on a similar basis as
described herein, except that 1000 of the grant amount will be allocated to
flow;
I. All Industrial Cost Recovery payments collected from industry
and paid to the City shall be used in accordance with the EPA grant agreement
as follows: Fifty percent (s0o) shall be returned to the Environmental Protec-
tion Agency (EPA); forty percent (40°s) together with all interest earned thereon
shall be used solely for the cost of any future expansion, upgrading or recon-
struction on the sewerage system eligible for EPA assistance; and ten percent
(10"s) shall be used as the City sees fit in the maintenance, operation and~or
construction of sewerage facilities to serve any or all areas of the City; and,.
J. Actions for nonpayment will he in accordance with Section 7-549
and Section 7-550 as are hereinafter provided.
