Kanarraville board debates stormwater impact fees, considers buying pipe stockpile

Heidi reported the stormwater master plan figures and presented fee options to the board, saying "It would be $8,680.52. That's the max on 0.5 acre." The board discussed whether the baseline should be 0.5 acres, 2 acres or a 5-acre threshold and how fees would affect buildable lot economics.

Members noted legal constraints on impact-fee use and debated whether the town should buy materials early. One member suggested buying and storing pipe now so funds would be spent on the intended infrastructure rather than simply accruing. Heidi said she would get additional calculations for a 5-acre scenario and circulate the results for a return discussion and possible ordinance drafting.
