MEMORANDUM I CASAR~US COUN1~] TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners Jonathan B. Marshall/Senior Planner ~ July 12, 1996 Sanitary Sewer Service in the Crossroads Area The County has been approached by a group of property owners in the U.S. 601 and N.C. 24/27 crossroads area to help provide sanitary sewer service to the area, as you are aware. The estimated cost of the project is $703,500 and the City of Concord Engineering Department is willing to contribute engineering and surveying services, as well as, $301,000. This leaves $402,500 to be contributed by property owners and/or Cabarrus County. A group of property owners representing 11 parcels have currently committed in excess of $70,000, but for purposes of this consideration, I believe we should consider maximum County cost of $402,500. The City of Concord Engineering Department has studied this project and they estimate that for the cost of $703,500 service can be provided in all four directions from the crossroads. Estimated effluent from the parcels that could be served is 8,2000 gallons/day or $4.91/gallon/day. The attached resolution proposes a system by which the City of Concord, property owners and Cabarms County would share the cost of providing sanitary sewer service. The property owner's share of the cost would be based on their expected effluent, and the County in mm would be reimbursed based on the expected effluent on any additional parcels or uses connecting to the public sewer. If the County were to provide the entire $402,500 difference in cost, it would require users producing 82,000 gallons/day of effluent to fully reimburse the County (at $5/gallon/day). The rate is staggered, however, to provide incentive to potential users to pay their portion of the availability fee during the construction period. Later contributions would be at an additional cost to help recoup the carrying cost for the County, and so that it does not require full participation (amounting to 82,000 gallons/day) for the County to be fully reimbursed. I will ask that Tim Lowder, the director of Concord's Engineering Department, to attend your meeting to explain the costs of the project, and Concord's design and financial participation.
