GARDEN CITY, Utah. November 13, 2014. Mike Madsen appeared
before the Council asking that he be allowed to charge impact fees if and when
land owners to the North want to connect to the water line that he personally
installed. He noted that he had spent
about $97,000 to extend culinary water north.
Since development has slowed, no one has shown an interest. However, Madsen felt that he should be able
to recover some of his costs if and when development begins. He was asking for an extension of the current
agreement with the City that expires in 2020.
He asked for an additional ten years.
The Council indicated that they would be happy to extend the time
period.
However, the City would also like to make an agreement with
him so that the City could also attach individuals in that area who are already
using Garden City water onto that water source if there were problems with some
of the older lines in that area. Madsen was told he could charge what he wanted
to developers as an impact fee. However,
the City would like to make a fair agreement with him to allow the City to pay
for use of his line as needed in the future.
Zan Murray, the City Engineer, said that he would write up a fair
agreement to be made between the City and Madsen.
