Information Contact: David Hayes, Director
Phone Number: 770-414-6240
PURPOSE:
To consider approving an agreement for the Construction and Financing of Sewer Upgrades in the Snapfinger model shed with Legacy Park-South Housing Village.
NEED/IMPACT:
Legacy Park-South Housing Village seeks to enhance the community by constructing and offering affordable housing at 500 South Columbia Drive, Decatur, Georgia 30030, (the “Project”) and the Project requires upgrading and expanding portions of the existing sanitary sewer infrastructure and lines to accommodate additional discharge of wastewater into the Sewer System. The purpose of this Agreement is for the parties to enter a binding contract evidencing their agreement as to the installation and financing of the improvements for this development.
This development will enhance its surrounding community as per section 3 of the County policy for allocating wastewater capacity credits, hence allowing the company to participate in the completion of capacity credit generation. The improvements will consist of upgrades and expansion of certain portions of the DeKalb County sanitary sewer infrastructure and lines servicing the Snapfinger model shed. The improvements will allow for a total of 132 residences. The County, through its Department of Watershed Management and/or its contractor, will determine those portions of the sanitary sewer infrastructure and lines to be upgraded and expanded (the “Work”). The Work will be divided into two phases. The first half of the improvements will be completed no later than March 15, 2024. The remainder of the improvements will be completed by July 15, 2025. Completed improvements shall generate 50,426 gallons per day in sewer capacity credits as calculated per DeKalb County’s Capacity Assurance Banking Credit Program. Company agrees that upon completion of each phase of the improvements and before Company shall be allowed access to the County’s sanitary sewer system, Company shall reimburse the County up to $100,000 for each phase of improvements (up to $200,000 total of the estimated cost of $400,000 for sewer improvements in the Snapfinger model shed). (“Company’s Contribution”).
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County's contribution is not anticipated to exceed $200,000.
