Re: City of lsilbertville; Minneapolis Factory shoppesv
Dear Jim:
As you requested, listed below are the applicable costs and
fees that would be charged by the City of Albertville should you
choose to proceed with the proposed outlet mall. Please note that
these charges are subject to change in the future.
I have also listed the estimated charge that you would have to
pay the Joint Powers Water Board for water related services.
City Charges
1. Rezoning (if necessary)--$400.00 plus $250 escrow and any
additional professional fees incurred.
2. Planning review, Legal review, Engineering review--Costs vary
depending upon the complexity of the project. Albertville's
expenses will be passed through to the Developer.

professional fees incurred (does not include building
inspection review).
b. Subdivision/preliminary plat--$300 base fee plus $50 per
lot, plus $100 public hearing fee and a $500 escrow plus
any professional fees incurred.

3. Building Permit fees--There are several applicable fees.

Code Schedule--$3, 539.50 for the first million dollars of
value, plus $2.00 for each additional $1,000 of value.
b. Plan review fee--65o of building permit fee.
c. Plumbing permit fee--1.25 of job cost (for jobs over
$30,000).
d. HVAC permit fee--1.25$ of job cost (for jobs over
$30,000).
e. State Surcharge Fee--.0005 of the job or construction
cost as a state surcharge fee. This fee is collected by
the City and passed on to the State.
f. Separate electrical and fire protection inspection fees
must be paid to the State of Minnesota.
4. Sanitary Sewer Trunk Charges--To be established in the near
future--will cover costs of upgrading lift station, etc. We
will forward the information when available.
5. Sanitary Sewer Access Charges--$2,200 per 225 gallons of daily
flow. It has yet to be determined whether calculation will be
on a maximum or average daily flow--City engineer and
Developer will discuss this as more information is available.
6. Sanitary Sewer Rate Charges--Assuming normal household-type
sewage, the current quarterly rates are $31_50 for the first
15,000 gallons and $2.48 per additional 1,000 gallons. Sewer
billings are billed quarterly. Rates for stronger sewage
(i.e. restaurant waste, etc.) will vary, depending upon the
treatment required.
7. Water Access Charge--$200.00 fee.
8. Water Trunk Charge--To be established in the near future--will
cover. the costs of extending trunk. water mains and looping
water mains. We will forward the information when available.

a. Connection Fee--The conll~CtlOA fee is an acre-based fee
which references the percent Of Impervious surface on the

site. Current charges are $759.40 per acre for
developments which contain 66~ to 100 impervious
surface. Developments with 35$ to 65~ impervious surface
are charged $421.90 per acre. Lesser per acre amounts
apply for developments with less impervious surface.
b. Quarterly Fee--A quarterly, fee in the amount of $31.89
per acre for developments which contain 66$ to 100
impervious surface. Developments with 35~ to 65%
impervious surface are charged $17.72 per acre per
quarter. Lesser per acre amounts apply for developments
with less impervious surface.
10. Special assessments--There may be some deferred special
assessments existing for water mains (these assessments would
have been levied by the Joint Powers Water Board and should
show up on a special assessment search). If the City extends
sanitary sewer service north on highway 19, or constructs road
or water improvements which benefit the property, the costs of
these improvements would be specially assessed. The City is
under the assumption at this time that any such projects will
be undertaken by the Developer.
Joint Power Water Board
1. Water Access fee--Joint powers charges a fee of $1,300 for
every 3,000 square feet of commercial space, but excludes
elevator shafts, stairwells, restrooms, and unfinished storage
areas from that calculation. This item must be paid before a
building permit will issue from the City.
2. Water meter--The cost of the meter depends on its size. The
number of water meters and their size should be coordinated
with the Joint Powers Water Board.
3. Plan Review--
a. If a 2-inch or greater water line is to be installed to
the property (which serves only the property in
question), the developer must place a $750 deposit with
Joint Powers to cover plan review and inspection. Any
Joint Powers expenses over $750 will be billed to the
Developer.
b. If a 2-inch or greater water line is to be installed to
the property which will serve other properties as well,
Mr. Jim Morse-

the developer must place a $2,500 deposit with Joint
Powers to cover plan review and inspection. Any Joint
Powers expenses over $2,500 will be billed to the
Developer.
4. Permit fee--an $85 permit fee must be paid upon application to
Joint Powers.
5. Water rates--Billed quarterly, $'7.50 fcr 10,000 ealions,
$.00176 per gallon thereafter. Minimum quarterly charge of
$17.60.
Because the Joint Powers Water Board is a separate
governmental entity from the City, you may want to independently
verify these amounts with the Joint Power Water Board. You can
contact Donna at (612) 497-3611 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Central time.
As you can see, there are several 'different development-
related fees associated with this project. At some point during
the process City staff would like to meet with you to address these
costs in more detail. In the meantime, please contact Gary Hale or
myself if you have any questions regarding the fees detailed above.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
