CONTRACT K-1617-89: A CONTRACT BY AND BETWEEN THE NORMAN UTILITIES AUTHORITY AND CEDAR LANE, L.L.C. TO IMPLEMENT A LIFT STATION OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT FEE FOR THE POST OAK LIFT STATION TO SERVE CLASSEN BUSINESS PARK ADDITION TO THE CITY OF NORMAN.
Body
BACKGROUND: In 2003, policy was modified to allow installation of new lift stations if long-term operation, maintenance and capital equipment replacement costs (OM&R) were borne by the users of the new lift station (LS). An administrative Lift Station Fee collected through utility billing and applicable to each lot in the new development was implemented through a contractual agreement.
To date, the Norman Utilities Authority (NUA) has approved nine lift station agreements as follows:
1. Summit Lakes Addition (K-0304-51 approved 10/14/03);
2. Summit Valley Addition (K-0304-57 approved 10/14/03);
3. Eagle Cliff South Addition (K-0304-58 approved 10/14/03);

5. Alameda Park Addition (K-0506-30 approved 07/12/05);
6. Red Rock Addition and Park Hill Addition (K-0506-139 approved 05/09/06);
7. Siena Springs Addition (K-0607-70 approved 10/10/06);
8. Links at Norman PUD (K-0809-115 approved 04/14/09); and
9. Stone Lake Addition (K-1415-130 approved 04/28/15).
DISCUSSION: On December 8, 2016, the Planning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Classen Business Park Addition contingent upon the provision of a sewer solution for the parcel acceptable to the NUA. The approved sewer solution for the 8 lots is to construct a gravity sewer from the subdivision to the east along Post Oak Road to the existing Post Oak LS.
In order to obtain NUA approval to connect to the existing LS, a lift station agreement must be approved by the developer requiring future sewer users within Classen Business Park Addition to fund a pro-rata share of the ongoing operation, maintenance and replacement costs (OM&R) of the existing Post Oak LS.
