utility connection, or for a new development which received final plat approval
prior to the effective date of this Article, and for which no re- platting is necessary
pursuant to the City's subdivision regulations prior to development, assessment of
impact fees shall occur at the time application is made for the building permit or
utility connection, whichever first occurs, and shall be the amount of the
maximum impact fee per service unit in effect, as set forth in Schedule 1.
(2) For a new development which is submitted for approval pursuant to the City's
subdivision regulations on or after the effective date of this Article, or for which
re- platting results in an increase in the number of service units after such date,
rol
assessment of impact fees shall be at the time of final plat recordation, and shall
be the amount of the maximum impact fee per service unit in effect as set forth in
Schedule 1.
(b) Following assessment of impact fees pursuant to subsection (a), the amount of impact fee
assessment per service unit for that development cannot be increased, unless the owner
proposes to change the approved development by the submission of a new application for
final plat approval or other development application that results in approval of additional
service units, in which case a new assessment shall occur at the Schedule 1 rate then in
effect for such additional service units.
(c) Following the vacating of any plat or approval of any re -plat, a new assessment must be
made in accordance with subsection (a)(2).
(d) An application for an amending plat made pursuant to Texas Local Government Code
§212.016 and the City of Denton Subdivision Ordinance, and for which no new
development is proposed, is not subject to reassessment for an impact fee.
Sec. 26 -221. Computation of impact fees.
(a) Following the filing and acceptance of a written application for building permit or utility
connection, the City shall compute the impact fee due in the following manner:
(1) The number of service units shall be determined by the size of the water meter
purchased using the Land Use and Service Unit /SFE Equivalencies table
incorporated as Exhibit F herein. The service units for multi - family apartment
projects with eight (8) or more units shall be determined by multiplying the
number of bedrooms in said apartment project by 0.26 SFE;
(2) Service units shall be summed for all meters, or for all bedrooms within a multi-
family apartment project with eight (8) or more units purchased for the
development;
(3) The total number of service units shall be multiplied by the impact fee per service
unit for water and/or wastewater service facilities using Schedule 1 then in effect
as established in Section 26 -219;
(4) The amount of each impact fee shall be reduced by any allowable offsets or
credits for that category of capital improvements, in the manner provided in
Section 26 -223.
(b) The amount of impact fee due for new development shall not exceed the amount
computed by multiplying the assessed fee for water and/or wastewater service by the total
number of service units generated by the development. The amount of impact fee due for
redevelopment shall not exceed the amount computed by multiplying the assessed fee for
water and /or wastewater service by the net increase in service units generated by the
redevelopment.
(c) The developer may submit or the Director may require the submission of a study,
prepared by a professional engineer, licensed in the State of Texas, clearly indicating the
number of water and /or wastewater service units which will be consumed or generated by
the new development. The Director will review the information for completeness and
conformity with generally accepted engineering practices and will, when satisfied with
the completeness and conformity of the study, multiply the number of service units
determined by the study, times the impact fee per service unit contained in Section
26 -219 above to determine the total impact fee to be collected for the development. The
Director may also use recent historical water billing records for existing customers to
determine water demands and single - family equivalents ( "SFE ") in accordance with data
from the most recent Capital Improvements Plan.
(d) Whenever the property owner increases the number of service units for a development,
the additional impact fees collected for such new service units shall be determined based
on Schedule 1 and applicable offsets, credits, and discounts then in effect, and such
additional fee shall be assessed and collected at the time the additional meters are
purchased.
(e) In the event the property owner decreases the number of service units for a development,
the property owner shall be entitled to a refund of the impact fee or impact fees actually
paid, but only for the amounts represented by the decrease in service units based on the
assessed fee and offsets., credits, or discounts applicable at the time the fee was paid.
(f) If the building permit for the property on which an impact fee is paid has expired and a
new application for a building permit is thereafter filed for the identical property and the
identical number of service units, the impact fee previously paid satisfies the
requirements of this Article, unless the earlier impact fee was refunded to the applicant at
the expiration of the previously- issued building permit, or is otherwise refunded.
(g) The impact fee shall attach to the property for which the impact fee was paid and shall
not be transferable to other properties or service units.
(h) No building permit or utility connection shall be issued if the applicant cannot verify
payment to Staff of the appropriate impact fee and other applicable fees, or if existing
facilities do not have actual capacity to provide service to the new connection(s), except
for those entities that are exempted from impact fees as are specifically set forth in Texas
Local Government Code, Chapter 395.
(i) All matters pertaining to the enforcement, assessment, computation, or collection of
impact fees provided for herein shall be determined by the Director, or his or her
designate.
Sec. 26 -222. Collection of impact fees.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, the impact fee for the new development
shall be collected at the time the City issues a building permit, or if a building permit is
not required, at the time an application is filed for a new connection, to the City's water
or wastewater system or for an increase in water meter size.

determination.
13
(b) The Owner and /or Applicant must file a notice of appeal with the City Secretary within
thirty (30) days following the determination of the amount of the impact fees to be paid
by the development by city Staff. If the notice of appeal is accompanied by a bond or
other sufficient surety satisfactory to the City Attorney in an amount equal to the original
determination of the impact fee due, the development application may be processed while
the appeal of the impact fee is pending.
(c) The written notice to the City Secretary requesting an appeal shall contain the following
information:
1. The name of the Owner and/or Applicant of the Appeal; and
2. The business address and telephone number of the Owner and/or Applicant; and
3. The specific decision or determination of Staff which Owner and/or Applicant are
complaining of, and the date of issuance thereof, and
4. State specifically the grounds regarding Owner's and /or Applicant's application
for appeal; and
5. State specifically what amount of money that you believe is owing the City, as
well as your basis therefor; and
6. The name and address of any legal counsel who will appear before the Public
Utilities Board to argue on your behalf; and
7. The signature of the Owner and/or Applicant regarding this Appeal.
(d) The burden of proof shall be on the property owner and/or applicant to demonstrate that
the amount of the fee or the amount of the offset, credit or rebate was not calculated
according to the provisions of this Article. Upon submission of the case and the hearing
held before the Public Utilities Board (the "Board "), a decision shall be made by the
Board, upon Public Hearing, which shall constitute a formal recommendation to the
Denton City Council. The Board shall submit all of the materials that it receives as
evidence from Staff and all of the materials that it receives as evidence from the Owner
and/or Applicant to the City Council for its final consideration. All evidence as well as
the record shall be closed by the Public Utilities Board. A record shall be made of the
Public Utilities Board hearing and shall be forwarded to the City Council. The City
Council shall then make its decision on the record produced by the Public Utilities Board
and upon the oral arguments that are limited to not more than fifteen (15) minutes each
for the Owner and /or Applicant, and the City. The City Council shall then determine the
appeal and issue its written decision.
Sec. 26 -227. Refunds.
(a) Any impact fee or portion thereof collected pursuant to this Article which has not been
expended within ten (10) years from the date of payment, shall be refunded, upon
application, to the record owner of the property at the time the refund is paid, or, if the
impact fee was paid by another governmental entity, to such governmental entity,
together with interest calculated from the date of collection to the date of refund at the
statutory rate as set forth in Texas Local Government Code, Section 395.025(d) which
states that Texas Finance Code, Section 302.002, or any successor statute applies.
14
(b) Upon the written request of an owner of the property on which an impact fee has been
paid, the City shall refund such fees if:
(1) Existing service is available and service is denied; or
(2) Service was not available when the fee was collected and the City has failed to
commence construction of facilities to provide service within two (2) years of fee
payment; or
(3) Service was not available when the fee was collected and has not subsequently
been made available within a reasonable period of time considering the type of
capital improvement or facility expansion to be constructed, but in any event no
later than five (5) years from the date of the payment.
(c) The City shall refund an appropriate proportion of impact fee payments in the event that a
previously purchased but uninstalled water meter for which the impact fee has been paid
is replaced with a smaller meter, based on the service unit differential of the two (2)
meter sizes and the fee per service unit at the time of the original fee payment.
(d) A petition for refund under this section shall be submitted to the Director on a form
provided by the City for such purpose. Within one (1) month of the date of receipt of a
petition for refund, the Director must provide the petitioner, in writing, with a decision on
the refund request, including the reasons for the decision. If a refund is due to the
petitioner, the Director shall notify the Assistant City Manager - Administration and
request that a refund payment be made to the petitioner.
Sec. 26 -228. Update of plan and revision of fees.
(a) The City shall update its land use assumptions and capital improvements plans at least
every five (5) years, commencing from the date of adoption of such plans, and shall
recalculate the impact fees based thereon in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 395, or in any successor statute.
(b) The City may review its land use assumptions, impact fees, capital improvements plans
and other factors such as market conditions more frequently than provided in subsection
(a) to determine whether the land use assumptions and capital improvements plans should
be updated and the impact fee recalculated accordingly, or whether Schedules 1 or 2
should be changed. Schedule 2 may be amended without revising land use assumptions
and capital improvements plans at any time prior to the update provided for in subsection
(a), provided that the impact fees to be collected under Schedule 2 do not exceed the
impact fees assessed under Schedule 1.
(c) If, at the time an update is required pursuant to Subsection (a), the City Council
determines that no change to the land use assumptions, capital improvements plan or
impact fee is needed, it may dispense with such update by following the procedures in
15
Texas Local Government Code, Section 395.0575.
(d) The City may amend by resolution the Land Use and Service Unit /SFE Equivalency table
(Exhibit F), at any time prior to the update provided for in Subsection (a), provided that
the number of service units associated with a particular land use shall not be increased.
Sec. 26 -229. Agreement for capital improvements.
An owner of a new development may construct or finance a capital improvement or facility
expansion designated in the impact fee capital improvements plan, if required or authorized by
the City, by entering into an agreement with the City prior to the issuance of any building permit
for the development. The agreement shall be on a form approved by the City and shall identify
the estimated cost of the improvement or expansion, the schedule for initiation and completion of
the improvement or expansion, a requirement that the improvement be designed and completed
to City standards and such other terms and conditions as deemed necessary by the City. The
agreement shall provide for the method to be used to determine the amount of the offset to be
given against the impact fees due for the development or any reimbursement to the owner for
construction of the facility.
Sec. 26 -230. Use of other financing mechanisms.
(a) In addition to the use of impact fees, the City may finance water and wastewater capital
improvements or facilities expansions designated in the impact fee capital improvements
plan through the issuance of bonds, through the formation of public improvements
districts or other assessment districts, or through any other authorized mechanism, in such
manner and subject to such limitations as may be provided by law.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, the assessment and collection of an impact fee shall
be additional and supplemental to, and not in substitution of, any other tax, fee, charge or
assessment which is lawfully imposed on and due against the property.
(c) The City may pay all or part of impact fees due for a new development taking into
account available offsets and credits pursuant to duly adopted criteria.
Sec. 26 -231. Conflicting ordinances.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances that are in force when the provisions of this ordinance
become effective, which are inconsistent or in conflict with the terms or provisions contained in

Duncan Associates has been retained by the City of Denton to update the City's water and
wastewater impact fees. Land use assumptions that provide the planning basis for the impact fee
analysis were prepared by the City of Denton Planning Department and are provided in a separate
document. This report provides all of the analysis for the impact fee Capital Improvements Plan
required by Chapter 395, the Texas impact fee enabling act. It is based on cost and
demand /capacity analysis prepared by Freese & Nichols engineers and City staff engineers.
The City's current water and wastewater impact fees are summarized in Table 1. In the last update
of the City's utility impact fees, which became effective on August 1, 2008, the City moved from a
single service area for both water and wastewater to two service areas. The two service areas are
somewhat different for water and wastewater.
The maximum fees calculated in the 2008 study were adopted at somewhat different percentages for
the two service areas. For water, the fees were adopted at 94.6% of the maximum amount in Zone
1 and 94.4% in Zone 2. For wastewater, the fees were adopted at 91.1% in Zone 1 and 99.9% in
Zone 2.

Source: Current fees per service unit are adopted fees for 5f6 " x 3/4" meter lrom Table 1; updated maximum fees
per service unit from Table 20 (water) and Table 35 (wastewater); revenues from Table 22 (water) and Table 37
(wastewater).
In the adoption of updated water and wastewater impact fees, the Council has three main sets of
options:
❑ The Council may retain the current two Zone 1 and Zone 2 service areas, or split Zone 1
into infill (Zone 1A) and remainder (Zone 113) service areas.
❑ The Council may, by policy, adopt the updated maximum fees at a percentage less than 100
percent. In addition, the adoption percentage could vary by service area, as in the 2008 update.
❑ The Council may adopt different Schedule 1 (maximum) and Schedule 2 (collection) fees.
Schedule 1 fees are those that are assessed at time of final subdivision plat recording and determine
the maximum fees that may ever be collected from lots within the plat. Currently, the Schedule 1
and Schedule 2 rates shown in the impact fee ordinance are identical. In this update, the schedules
could be different, with Schedule 1 fees being the maximum fees calculated in this report and
Schedule 2 fees being fees adopted at some percentage less than 100 percent. Adoption percentages
may vary by service area, as was done in the 2008 update. However, the fees should be adopted at a
uniform percentage for all meter sizes within a service area.
The last option was less important in the 2008 update, since the lowest adoption percentage was
91% of the maximum fee. However, if updated fees for any service area are adopted at a
significantly lower percentage, it is recommended that the Schedule 1 fees represent the maximum
fees. This would give future Councils the option of increasing the collection rate for lots that were
platted at a time when the collection rate was significantly lower than the full net cost to serve a new
customer.

2013 -2023 Capital Improvements Plan 2 August 15, 2013
Impact fees are a way for local governments to require new developments to pay a proportionate
share of the infrastructure costs they impose on the community. In contrast to traditional
"negotiated" developer exactions, impact fees are charges that are assessed on new development
using a standard formula based on objective characteristics, such as the number and type of dwelling
units constructed. The fees are one -time, up -front charges, with the payment usually made at the
time of building permit issuance. Impact fees require each new development project to pay its pro -
rata share of the cost of new capital facilities required to serve that development.
Impact fees in Texas must be developed in accordance with Chapter 395 of the Texas Local
Government Code. The State law lays out very specific requirements for the technical development
of these fees as well as the procedures necessary for enactment of such fee programs.
Since the 2001 amendments to Chapter 395, credits against the impact fees for other taxes or fees
that would be paid by new development and used for capital improvements of the same facility type
as the impact fee are now required. As an alternative to performing a revenue credit calculation,
cities can simply reduce the impact fees by fifty percent.
A literal reading of subsection A above could be misleading, because it would make little sense to
calculate a credit for the eligible improvements in the capital improvements plan. Since new
development will be paying for such costs through impact fees, no rate revenues should be needed
to fund such improvements if impact fees are adopted at the full calculated amounts. However, one
can read the phrase "capital improvements plan" more broadly to include all existing facilities
(Chapter 395 does require that the plan include an inventory of existing facilities). New customers
will be paying for the remaining debt service on past improvements, and if no credits were provided
they would in effect be paying for their costs through impact fees and some of existing customers'
costs through the portion of their rates that go to debt retirement. To avoid this kind of potential
double - payment, credit will be provided for the share of outstanding debt that is attributable to
capacity that is serving existing customers. In addition, some of the planned improvements will also
remedy some capacity deficiencies, and an impact fee credit is provided for rate revenue that new
customers will generate that will be retire debt associated with remedying existing deficiencies.
Revised impact fees based on this study will not apply to lots platted when a previous fee schedule
was in place. Chapter 395 states that the impact fee schedule that is in effect at the time a lot is
platted is the one that applies to the property, regardless of when development occurs. This occurs
through a process called "assessment." Assessment must occur at the time of plat recording, or, for
property already platted or not required to be platted, at the time of development approval or
building permit, whichever occurs first. The statute makes clear that no action by the local
government is required for assessment to occur. Essentially, impact fee assessment locks in the fee
schedule in place at the time assessment occurs. Any subsequent revision to the impact fee schedules
does not affect the impact fees owed for the development.
The City's water and wastewater impact fees ordinance (Chapter 26, Article IV) provides two water
and wastewater impact fee schedules. Schedule 1 contains the maximum impact fees per service
unit, while Schedule 2 contains the impact fee per service unit that is currently being collected.
When a property is subdivided, it is assessed at the maximum Schedule 1 rate, and the impact fees

the subdivided property. The ordinance also contains the historical Schedule 1 fees that apply to

Currently, the Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 rates are identical. In this update, the schedules could be
different, with Schedule 1 fees being the maximum fees calculated in this report and Schedule 2 fees
being fees adopted at some percentage less than 100 percent. Adoption percentages may vary by
service area, as was done in the 2008 update. However, the fees should be adopted at a uniform
percentage for all meter sizes within a service area.

SERVICE AREAS
Chapter 395 lays down a number of requirements regarding service areas. The Land Use
Assumptions must be prepared for each service area. The Capital Improvements Plan, in turn, must
include a description of the capital improvements and costs for each service area, based on the Land
Use Assumptions. Finally, impact fees collected from development within a service area must be
spent with the same service area.
The Texas impact fee enabling act, in Sec. 395.001(9), defines "service area" as:
the area within the corporate boundaries or extraterritorial juri diction... of the political subdivision to be
served by the capital improvements or facilities expansions specified in the capital improvements plan....
The service area, for the purposes of this chapter, may include all or part of the land within the political
subdivision or its extraterritorial jurisdiction.
The City has considerable discretion in the designation of service areas within its jurisdiction. As a
general rule, the fewer the number of service areas, the better. Since funds collected from a service
area must be spent within the same service area, the creation of a large number of small service areas
will restrict the flexibility of spending impact fee revenues and may make it difficult accumulate
sufficient funds in some service areas within the five years allowed by law to spend them. The State
statute specifically authorizes "systemwide" Land Use Assumptions for water and wastewater
facilities.
A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) must be approved by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (formerly the Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission) before
services may be provided to properties within the designated area. The City's water and wastewater
CCNs include all of the area within the City of Denton, plus different areas of the City's Extra -
Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ). The wastewater service area encompasses an area larger than the
water service area. The water and wastewater CCNs are illustrated in Figure 1 and Figure 2.
The CCN maps also show the location of the City's wholesale customers. No costs associated with
providing service to wholesale customers have been included in the impact fee calculations.

Service Areas
The City's water and wastewater CCNs are currently each divided into two service areas. The Zone
1 and Zone 2 water service areas are shown in Figure 3.
For wastewater, the CCN is currently divided into two service areas, although there are as yet no
City wastewater customers in Zone 2. Zone 2 is the Clear Creek drainage basin, while the rest of the
City falls into Zone 1 (Pecan Creek, Hickory Creek and Cooper Creek basins). The current
wastewater Zone 1 and Zone 2 service areas are shown in Figure 4.

LAND USE ASSUMPTIONS
"Land Use Assumptions" is the term used in Chapter 395 to refer to growth projections. It is
defined as a "description of the service area and projections of changes in land uses, densities,
intensities and population in the service area over at least a 10 -year period." The purpose of the
Land Use Assumptions is to project the demand for capital improvements that will be needed to
serve anticipated growth.
The Land Use Assumptions must cover at least a 10 -year period. The Capital Improvements Plan on
which the impact fees are calculated must contain the projected demand for capital facilities required
over a period not to exceed ten years. Since the two must be compatible, both the Land Use
Assumptions and the Capital Improvements Plan should cover a 10 -year period.
A document meeting the Chapter 395 requirements for Land Use Assumptions was prepared by
City planning staff in July 2013. The report contains 2013 -2023 projections for population, dwelling
units, nonresidential square footage, developed and undeveloped acres, residential densities and
nonresidential intensities for the City's current and potential water and wastewater service areas.
For the purpose of the Capital Improvements Plan, the key inputs from the Land Use Assumptions
are the projections total population and served population (retail customer population connected to
the City's water or wastewater systems). These are summarized in Table 3 for the water service
areas.

SERVICE UNITS
To calculate impact fees in accordance with Chapter 395, the growth in demand for capital facilities
over the planning horizon must be expressed in "service units," which are defined in Sec.
395.001(10) as:
a standardised measure of consumption, use, generation, or di charge attributable to an individual unit of
development calculated in accordance n4th generally accepted engineering or planning standards for a particular
category of capital improvements or facility expansions.
Service units for water and wastewater impact fees are typically based upon the capacity attributable
to water meters in the utility system. The reason for this is that water meters are physical elements
that are under the control of the utility and that limit the maximum demand of various users.
The service unit for Denton's water and wastewater impact fees is the "single - family equivalent"
(SFE), which is based on the size of the water meter. An SFE is the water or wastewater demand
associated with the smallest water meter used in the system (5/8" x 3/4 "), which is the meter
typically used by a single - family residence. The ratio of each larger meter's capacity to the capacity
of the base meter determines the SFE multiplier applied to each larger meter size.
The City's original water and wastewater impact fees were based on meter capacities from the
American Water Works Association. In the opinion of the City's water division staff, the capacities
as rated by the manufacturer that supplies the City's meters are more accurate for larger meters, and
have been used since the 2003 update. The current SFE equivalency factors are shown in Table 5.

When impact fees are collected, the amount due is calculated by multiplying the number of service
units associated with each meter size by the impact fee per service unit. However, some additional
rules apply. The developer may submit or the water utilities director may require the preparation of
a study to determine the appropriate number of service units. Multi - family projects with more than
eight apartments are assessed at the rate of 0.26 service units per bedroom. Infill development,
defined as single - family residences of less than 1,300 square feet and located on a lot of less than
6,000 square feet in the water Zone 1 or wastewater Zone 1 service areas, is assessed at the rate of
0.50 service units per dwelling unit.

Denton's water system provides retail water service to all customers located within the CCN area, as
well as some wholesale customers. The water impact fees calculated here only cover capital costs
associated with providing water service to retail customers.
As discussed in the introduction, the current service unit for Denton's water impact fees is the
"single - family equivalent" (SFE), which is based on the size of the water meter. The number of
service units associated with meters of different sizes was calculated earlier. Multiplying the number
of existing connections for each meter size by the service units per meter yields total service units
for that meter size. Summing for all meter sizes yields the total number of water service units
connected to the City's water system, as shown in Table 6. Wholesale customers have been
excluded from the existing service unit calculations.

The growth in water service units (SFEs) over the 2013 -2023 planning period is derived from the
Land Use Assumptions. Total population served by the Denton Utilities water system for each
service area from the Land Use Assumptions is multiplied by the existing service unit -to- served
population ratio calculated in the previous table to determine the projected number of service units
for each year through 2023 in Table 7. Service units are estimated by service area (including for the
potential "infill" service area) as well as the entire system.

Two types of water demand are relevant for water impact fees. Water treatment, transmission and
distribution systems are sized to accommodate peak day demand requirements. Water supply
facilities are required only to accommodate average daily demand.
Average daily per capita water demand can be determined based on historic system -wide demand in
millions of gallons per day (mgd) and historic service area population. These per capita estimates
represent both residential and nonresidential demand, and are useful for projecting future system
requirements, particularly when no significant shifts of land use ratios are expected.
Average daily per capita demands over the last six years are presented in the following Table 9.
These data show that non - wholesale water demand has averaged 158 gallons per capita per day
(gpcd). The data also indicate that there is relatively little water lost in the process, with the raw
water used exceeding finished water produced by an average of only 3% percent.

Water treatment facilities are sized to accommodate peak day demands. The maximum daily
capacity of the Lake Lewisville water treatment plant (WTP) is 28.9 mgd. In June 2003, the City
completed construction of a new 20 mgd water treatment plant near Lake Ray Roberts, bringing the
total capacity of the two plants to 48.9 mgd.
As summarized in Table 12, current retail demand plus wholesale water sales consumes the
equivalent of all of the capacity of the Lake Lewisville plant and 38.3% percent of the existing 20-
mgd Lake Ray Roberts plant. New water customers over the next ten years will increase the
utilization of the Lake Ray Roberts plant capacity to 72.5 %.

The City's water supply comes primarily from water rights in Lake Lewisville and Lake Ray Roberts.
The Lewisville Reservoir was constructed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers to hold a total of 436,000
acre -feet of conservation storage, of which the City holds the right to 21,000 acre -feet of storage.
Based on a safe yield of 90.2 mgd, the City receives 4.34 mgd in water rights from Lake Lewisville.
Most of the City's remaining water needs are supplied by Lake Ray Roberts. The reservoir was
constructed by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, with the cities of Denton and Dallas being the local
sponsors and responsible (26% and 74% respectively) for repaying 50 percent of the total cost. The
City has water rights of 19.8 mgd from this lake, resulting in total water rights of 24.1 mgd.
Additional water supply capacity comes in the form of credits for a portion of other user's
wastewater that is returned to these water bodies ( "effluent credits "), as well as contract rights with
the City of Dallas. The City's contract with Dallas reserves a minimum of 0.50 mgd, regardless of
whether the City needs it, and the City also -has the right to purchase additional water as needed.
However, these additional sources of supply will not be considered in evaluating the City's water
supply. The City's water supply is summarized in Table 13. Projected growth over the planning
period will consume most of the current excess capacity in Lake Ray Roberts.

Capital improvements identified in the City's water master plan and by City staff as necessary to
accommodate growth over the next ten years are summarized in Table 14. The capital
improvements include both existing facilities with excess capacity to serve new customer demand as
well as planned improvements.
The portions of the costs of the Lake Ray Roberts treatment plant and the Lake Ray Roberts
reservoir that are attributable to growth over the planning period are based on the capacity of the
facilities and the new demand generated by the anticipated growth over the period. For pump
stations, water storage tanks and transmission lines, the portions of the costs attributable to growth
are based on determination of existing and planned facility capacities and modeling of 2013 and
2023 demands performed by consulting engineers for the City of Denton. A portion of the cost of
three of the planned improvements will serve existing customers, and these are identified as existing
deficiencies.

Calculations," May 31, 2013.
In addition to those costs directly attributable to growth, there are interest costs associated with
funding capital improvements with revenue bonds or other forms of debt. The City traditionally
funds all of its major water system capital improvements with bonds, and consequently incurs
interest costs. According to State law, these interest costs can be recovered through impact fees.
Based on the analysis provided in the Appendix, the direct costs should be increased by 12.4% to
account for interest costs. The final step in determining the cost per service unit is to divide the
total capital cost attributable to growth over the next ten years in each service area by the anticipated
growth in service units over the same time period. The results are shown in Table 16 below.

New water customers will help pay off outstanding debt incurred for existing facilities through their
monthly rates. To avoid requiring new customers to pay twice for capital facilities, once through
impact fees and again through rate payments, the impact fees should be reduced to account for such
debt service payments. A simple and reasonable approach to calculating the credit is to divide
outstanding debt by current service units, and use this figure as the credit per service unit. The
rationale behind this approach is simple to explain and understand. Existing customers are being
allowed to pay for a portion of their capital costs through their rate payments; reducing impact fees
by this amount puts new customers on an equal footing with existing customers. All customers will
be funding the same share of their capital costs through rate payments.
Credit does not need to be provided for the share of current debt that is attributable to past
improvements that still have capacity remaining to serve future growth. In fact, this portion of debt
could be retired by future impact fees. The percentages of original bond issues related to
improvements with excess capacity to serve future customers are shown in Table 17.

The City Council could enact updated water impact fees at either of the alternative net costs shown
above, or at a reduced level. The following net cost schedule represents the maximum impact fees
that may be charged by the City for water system facilities, based on the Land Use Assumptions, the
utility system evaluation and capital improvement cost estimates prepared by City of Denton
Municipal Utilities staff and engineering consultants, and the additional data and analysis presented
in this water impact fee Capital Improvements Plan.

Source Updated net cost per SFE from Table 20; current fee from City of Denton Code of
Ordinances, Sec. 26 -222.
Based on the growth projections in the Land Use Assumptions, potential system -wide revenues over
the next ten years would be 37% higher under the potential fees calculated in this report than under
the current fees, as shown in Table 22. These revenue projections should be viewed cautiously,
since they depend entirely on the growth projections. It should also be noted that the updated fees
will not apply to properties platted under the previous impact fee schedule, a fact that is not
accounted for in these revenue projections.

If the impact fees are adopted at 100% of the full net cost, new customers, system -wide, would pay
71% of their attributable cost of capital improvements through impact fees, and the rest through
future rate payments that will be used to (a) retire existing debt associated with existing
improvements that are serving existing customers and (b) retire future debt issued to fund planned
improvements that will remedy capacity deficiencies for existing customers. The percentage of costs
covered through impact fees varies by service area, because the utility debt is paid by all customers,
regardless of service area, and the debt credit is a larger part of the gross fee per service unit in
service areas with smaller fees. The percentages of growth- related costs paid that would be through
impact fees are shown in Table 23.

WASATER
The City's wastewater system provides retail wastewater collection and treatment to customers
within the CCN area, as well as wastewater treatment to three wholesale customers — Corinth, Krum
and Argyle. The impact fees calculated in this report exclude costs to serve the City's wholesale
customers.
The current service unit for Denton's wastewater impact fees is the "single - family equivalent" (SFE),
which is based on the size of the water meter. This is reasonable, since wastewater generation is not
metered directly and tends to be proportional to water usage. An SFE is the wastewater demand
associated with the smallest water meter used in the system (5/8" x 3/4 "), which is the meter
typically used by a single - family residence. The ratio of each larger meter's capacity to the capacity
of the base meter determines the SFE multiplier applied to each larger meter size.
Multiplying the number of existing retail wastewater connections (i.e., excluding wholesale
customers) with each meter size by the service units per meter yields total service units for that
meter size. Summing for all meter sizes yields the total number of wastewater service units
connected to the City's system, as shown in Table 24.

SFEs is product of served population and SFEs /served population from Table 24.
Average per capita wastewater demands can be determined based on historic system -wide demand
in millions of gallons per day (mgd) and historic served population. These per capita estimates
represent both residential and nonresidential demand, and are useful for projecting future system
requirements, particularly when no significant shifts of land use ratios are expected. Wastewater
treatment facilities are primarily designed to accommodate average daily flows. As summarized in
Table 26, per capita wastewater flows to the treatment plant over the last eight years have averaged
124 gallons per capita per day (gpcd). These calculations exclude wholesale wastewater flows. In
addition, they represent flows per served or connected population, which has been determined
based on recent studies by the City of Denton to be about 99 percent of total population. These
factors will be used to project future average daily demand in the service areas.

Projected wastewater demand over the next ten years is summarized in Table 27 for the two current
service areas. A projection of demand from the proposed infill service area is not necessary, since
these customers will be served by the existing Pecan Creek treatment plant that will also continue to
serve the remainder of the current Zone 1 area.

Wastewater Treatment
To accommodate future growth in the Pecan, Hickory and Cooper Creek basins, the City built a 6-
mgd expansion to the Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant in December 2003. The plant is now
designed to treat up to 21 mgd, and is in compliance with all State and Federal discharge permits.
This plant provides adequate treatment capacity to serve projected growth in the Pecan, Hickory and
Cooper Creek basins for the next ten years. Treatment capacity to serve the Clear Creek basin will
be provided with a new 3 -mgd Clear Creek wastewater treatment plant.
The new wastewater demand from Zone 1 (including the proposed Zone 1A infill service area) will
be served by excess capacity in the existing Pecan Creek plant. The original capacity of the Pecan
Creek plant (15 mgd) prior to the 2003 6 -mgd expansion has already been consumed by existing
customers. New development in Zone 1 over the next ten years will consume 38.0% of the capacity
of the 6 mgd expansion. New wastewater demand from Zone 2 will be served by the new 3 mgd

Source: New retail demand in Zone 1 and Zone 2 from Table 27; capacities from City of Denton Municipal Utilities,
While the capacity and demand on treatment plants are appropriately measured in terms of average
daily flows, other wastewater facilities must be sized to accommodate peak day flow. Peak flows for
2013 and 2023 were projected by City engineers utilizing the wastewater model.
Wholesale flows have been excluded from the calculation of the shares of treatment plant
improvements attributable to customer growth over the next ten years. However, it is not possible
to separate out increased demand from wholesale wastewater customers in the model. As can be
derived from the data in Table 27 above, growth in demand from retail customers accounts for
99.30% of total projected growth in average day flows. Projected 2023 peak flows for non -
treatment -plant improvements have been adjusted by this factor to remove the cost attributable to
accommodating an increase in wholesale demand from the impact fee calculations.
Some of the interceptor improvements are replacing existing lines that do not have enough capacity
to accommodate current peak flows. In such cases, some of the cost of the new line is attributable
to replacing the capacity provided by the current line, to adding capacity to remedy the existing
deficiencies, to providing new capacity for growth over the next ten years and to providing
additional capacity to serve long -term future needs. The shares of all eligible improvements
included in the Capital Improvements Plan that are attributable to remedying existing deficiencies
and accommodating growth over the next ten years are shown in Table 29.

In addition to those costs directly attributable to growth, there are interest costs associated with
funding capital improvements with revenue bonds or other forms of debt. The City traditionally
funds all of its major wastewater system capital improvements with bonds, and consequently incurs
interest costs. According to State law, these interest costs can be recovered through impact fees.
Based on the analysis provided in the Appendix, the costs should be increased by 12.4% to account
for interest costs. The final step in determining the cost per service unit is to divide the total capital
cost attributable to growth over the next ten years in each service area by the anticipated growth in
service units over the same time period. The results are shown in Table 31 below.

New wastewater customers will help pay off outstanding debt incurred for existing facilities through
their monthly rates. To avoid requiring new customers to pay twice for capital facilities, once
through impact fees and again through rate payments, the impact fees should be reduced to account
for such debt service payments. A simple and reasonable approach to calculating the credit is to
divide outstanding debt by current service units, and use this figure as the credit per service unit.
The rationale behind this approach is simple to explain and understand. Existing customers are
being allowed to pay for a portion of their capital costs through their rate payments; reducing impact
fees by this amount puts new customers on an equal footing with existing customers. All customers
will be funding the same share of their capital costs through rate payments.
Credit does not need to be provided for the share of current debt that is attributable to past
improvements that still have capacity remaining to serve future growth. In fact, this portion of debt
could be retired by future impact fees. Credit does not need to be provided for the share of current

The calculated net cost per service unit is the cost per service unit less the debt credit per service
unit. An alternative to calculating the revenue credit, provided by Chapter 395, is simply to divide
the cost per service unit in half. The net costs derived from these two alternative methods are
compared in Table 35.

The City Council could enact updated wastewater impact fees at either of the alternative net costs
shown above, or at a reduced level. The following net cost schedule represents the maximum
impact fees that may be charged by the City for wastewater system facilities, based on the Land Use
Assumptions, the utility system evaluation and capital improvement cost estimates prepared by City
of Denton Municipal Utilities staff and engineering consultants, and the additional data and analysis
presented in this water impact fee Capital Improvements Plan.

Based on the growth projections in the Land Use Assumptions, potential system -wide revenues over
the next ten years would be higher under the potential fees calculated in this report than under the
current fees, as shown in Table 37. These revenue projections should be viewed cautiously, since
they depend entirely on the growth projections. It should also be noted that the updated fees will
not apply to properties platted under the previous impact fee schedule, a fact that is not accounted
for in these revenue projections.

If the impact fees are adopted at 100% of the full net cost, new customers, system -wide, would pay
67% of their attributable cost of capital improvements through impact fees, and the rest through
future rate payments that will be used to (a) retire existing debt associated with existing
improvements that are serving existing customers and (b) retire future debt issued to fund planned
improvements that will remedy capacity deficiencies for existing customers. The percentage of costs
covered through impact fees varies by service area, because the utility debt is paid by all customers,
regardless of service area, and the debt credit is a larger part of the gross fee per service unit in
service areas with smaller fees. The percentages of growth- related costs paid through impact fees
for each service area are shown in Table 38.

2013-2023 Capital Improvements Plan 36 August 15, 2013
Interest cost on debt consists of three components: an anticipated inflation rate, a return on
investment and a risk premium. No borrower is going to loan money at less than the rate of
inflation, since the dollars paid back will have less buying power than the dollars loaned. The
residual interest rate after subtracting the inflation rate is referred to as the real interest rate, which
consists of the rate of return plus risk premium. Over the past ten years, the rate of inflation has
been about 2.48 %. The City's outstanding utility debt service payments, including both general
obligation and revenue bonds, are summarized in Table 39. The net present value of the City's
outstanding debt service payments, discounted at the long -term inflation rate, is about $196 million.
The real cost of interest is the difference between the net present value of the debt service payments,
discounted at the inflation rate, and the principal. As shown in Table 39, the real cost of interest
that will be paid on the City's outstanding utility debt is about $22 million. This indicates that real
interest costs are equivalent to an additional 12.4% of the amount borrowed.

The City of Denton contracted with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to update the Water Impact Fee Capital
Improvements Plan (CIP). The City provided updated land use assumptions and the current hydraulic
model to be used for the Impact fee analysis. Projects included in the Impact Fee CIP consist of
Improvements Identified in the 10 -year CIP as well as existing infrastructure with excess capacity. The
Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan is shown on Figure 1. The portion of each project associated with
growth that will be utilized within the 10 -year timeframe is Impact fee eligible. Utilization percentages
were calculated by evaluating the existing capacity and future capacity of each project.
The hydraulic model was used as a tool to determine the utilization of the pipeline improvements. For
the recently constructed projects, the 2013 percent utilized was calculated by dividing the flow observed
In the existing system model runs by the ultimate capacity of the pipe. The ultimate capacity of a pipe
was assumed to be the capacity calculated in the 2032 system analysis as part of the 2008 Water
Distribution System Master Plan. The 2013 utilization for proposed projects indicates the portion of the
project that will be used to address deficiencies in the existing system or improvements that serve
existing customers. The 2023 utilization percentages were calculated by taking the flow observed in the
10 -year model runs and dividing it by the ultimate capacity of the pipe.

Utilization percentages for water system facilities (i.e. water treatment plants, pump stations, storage

Distribution System Master Plan for the existing and projected demands. The 2013 percentages account
for existing system deficiencies or projects designed to serve existing customers while the 2023
percentages indicate the portion of the capacity that will be utilized within the 10 -year timeframe.
The following provides example calculations for each type of project:.
■ Pipe (42 -inch Loop 288 Sherman to UNT)
Existing Flow = 10.7 mgd
10 -year Flow = 16.5 mgd
Ulimate Flow = 42.0 mgd
2013 % Utilization = 10.7 mRd = 0.255 = 25%
42.0 mgd
2023 % Utilization = 16.5 mRd = 0.393 = 40%
42.0 mgd
Eligible % = 40% - 25% = 15%
■ Water Treatment Plant (Ray Roberts Water Treatment Plant)
Existing WTP Capacity (LLWTP) = 30.0 mgd
Recently Constructed WTP Capacity (RRWTP) = 20.0 mgd
Existing Maximum Day Demand = 42.2 mgd
10 -year Maximum Day Demand = 51.2 mgd
2013 % Utilization = 42.2 mRd - 30.0 mRd = 0.610 = 60%
20.0 mgd
2023 % Utilization = 51.2 med = 1.024 4 100%
30.0 mgd + 20.0 mgd
Eligible % = 100% - 60% = 40%
3
■ Pump Station (Southwest Booster Pump Station)
Existing Firm Capacity = 6.05 mgd
Existing Peak Hour Demand (criteria with no elevated storage) = 1.33 mgd
125% of 10 -year Maximum Day (criteria with elevated storage) = 2.03 mgd * 1.25 = 2.54
mgd
2013 % Utilization = 1.33 msd = 0.220 = 20%
6.05 mgd
2023 % Utilization = 2.54 mgd = 0.420 = 40%
6.05 mgd
Eligible % = 40% - 20% = 20%
■ Storage Tank (Roselawn EST)
Existing Storage Capacity (Central Pressure Plane) = 3.0 MG
New Storage Capacity = 3.0 MG
Existing Storage Requirement (from Master Plan) = 5.2 MG
10 -year Storage Requirement = 5.5 MG
2013 % Utilization = 5.2 MG — 3.0 MG = 0.733 = 75%
3.0 MG
2023 % Utilization = 5.5 MG — 3.0 MG = 0.833 = 85%
3.0 MG
Eligible % = 85% - 75% = 10%
ZONE PERCENTAGES
The City divided the water service area into three zones:
■ Zone 1 — the area north of Hickory Creek and the Robson Ranch, Country Lakes, Meadows at
Hickory Creek, and The Vintage developments
■ Zone 2 — the area south of Hickory Creek, with the exception of the exacted developments that
are included in Zone 1
■ Infill Zone — the area bounded to the west by Bonnie Brae Street, to the north by Windsor Drive,
to the east by Old North Road, Mockingbird Lane, and Woodrow Lane, and to the south by 1 -35E
and Willowwood Street
After the utilization percentages were calculated, each project was evaluated to determine the zone
percentages. Percentages for projects that improve the entire system equally (such as water treatment
4
plants) were calculated based on growth in population over the next 10 years. Approximately 54% of
the 10 -year growth occurs in Zone 1 while 21% occurs in Zone 2 and 25% in the Infill Zone. Table 1
shows the population for each zone. The model was utilized as a tool to assign various percentages to
the remaining improvements based on the hydraulic relevance to each zone. For example, the new High
School Booster Pump Station provides no benefit to the customers in Zone 2 and therefore is 100%
attributable to Zone 1. Similarly, projects that offer more hydraulic benefit to Zone 2 customers were
given percentages higher than 21% for Zone 2. Table 2 presents the utilization percentages, as well as
the zone percentages for each project.
Table 1: Water Service Population by Zone
Note: The populations were provided in the Land Use Assumptions report provided by the City. The Infill Zone
population is from the Table 1 of Exhibit 4. The Zone 2 population is from Table 1 of Exhibit 3.The Zone 1
population was calculated based on the water service population presented in Table 1 of Exhibit C and then
subtracting the population from Zone 2 and the Infill Zone.

From: James Wilder, P.E., Engineering Services
Re: Wastewater Impact Fee CIP
The City of Denton wastewater impact fee rates were generated from an update to the Impact Fee 10-
Year Capital Improvement Plan, which in turn was generated by an update of the Wastewater Collection
System hydraulic model. The update of the model included utilizing revised population projections and
land use assumptions furnished by NCTCOG and the City's planning department. The model was also
updated to take into account more recent wet weather flow metering data. The results of the model
simulations indicated the improvements required to handle the future flows. These improvements are
the basis of the Impact Fee 10 -Year Capital Improvement Plan.
Exhibit 3A shows the locations for the Impact Fee projects for Zone 1. The majority of the projects are
located on or adjacent to the three main interceptors located in the Cooper Creek, Pecan Creek, and
Hickory Creek basins. This Is an expected result as the collection system funnels the bulk of the
wastewater flow for the entire system into these interceptors. Therefore, existing capacity deficiencies
and future capacity enhancement are concentrated along these interceptor routes.

Exhibit 3B shows the locations for the Impact Fee projects for Zone 2. These projects address future
planned growth in the Clear Creek Basin.
Table 1 is a summary of the Impact Fee projects by cost and zone. Costs are presented for the project
total as well as the portion attributable to growth during the 2013 -2023 time frame. The cost impact of
Infill Zone growth has also been taken into account for those projects impacted by growth In that zone.
The deficiency cost is the portion of the project cost attributable to bringing capacity up to meet existing
conditions; it is an indirect way to determine how "deficient" the existing facility is to handle existing
peak flows. Zone delineation for each project was straightforward as the project location determined
whether they were in Zone 1 or Zone 2. The Infill Zone percentage was determined for each project by
comparing the base flow from the Infill Zone to the total base flow for the project location.
