Haslee, Regulations Administrator DATE: April 20, 2005 RE: Change to 2005 Rules and Regulations (Appendix A and Associated Definitions) Changes to 2005 Rules and Regulations and rate changes within the Appendices were approved by the Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority Board of Directors as of January 1, 1005. I believe that the individual Metropolitan Districts should be aware of and adopt the minor changes that was approved by the Board since then in the individual appendices. I have attached copies of both the proposed and approved appendices for your review - changes are noted in red. The Board approved changes to the Rules and Regulations of the Authority implementing an exception to tap fees for "circulation space" that serves residential units in multi-unit or mixed- use facilities, and removing the exception for "common space". The following changes have been made to the Rules and Regulations The method of calculating floor area described in Appendix A for each entity has been changed to, "Floor area is calculated on the gross square foot measurement to include the outside walls, unfinished areas, mechanical rooms, and basements over five feet high, excluding garages, attics and, in a multi-unit or mixed use facility, circulation space." The definition of "Common Space" has been removed from page 4 of the Rules and Regulations. The definition of "Residential Floor Area" has been removed from page 8 of the Rules and Regulations. A definition has been added for "floor area". "Floor area is calculated on the gross square foot measurement to include the outside walls, unfinished areas, mechanical rooms, and A F:\15WSD\8REGS\MEM05iZOOSUOOSREGSCHANGHDOC basements over five feet high, excluding garages, attics and, in a multi-unit or mixed use facility, circulation space." A definition has been added for "circulation space". "Circulation Space is that space in a multi-family or mixed use facility that provides ingress and egress to residential units located in the facility. Examples of Circulation Space are hallways, stairways and elevators not located within Residential Units, Accommodation Units or Efficiency Units. Where Circulation Space passes through an entryway or lobby, such space shall be deemed to be a corridor no more than ten feet in width, or the width of any hallway such corridor leads to, except where a greater width is required for ingress and egress by a building or fire code." A definition has been added for "multi-unit facility". "A Multi-unit Facility is a building containing two or more Residential Units, Accommodation Units or Efficiency Units." A definition has been added for "mixed use facility". "A Mixed Use Facility is a building containing one or more Residential Units, Accommodation Units or Efficiency Units and one or more Commercial Units" These changes were made so that "Common Space" which was previously exempt from tap fees under certain circumstances will now be subject to tap fees, and to create a definition for "Circulation Space" which will be exempt from tap fees. Please contact me as soon as possible letting me know that your Metro District has approved the change show so that we can update our website in a timely manner. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
