Stormwater Utility Proposed Fee Schedule Meeting - Citizen Input
Stormwater Utility Proposed Fee Schedule Meeting
Monday, June 30th at 7:30 p.m.
Snellville City Hall Council Chambers
The City is considering adoption of the rate structure outlined below at a specially called City Council meeting on Monday, June 30th at 7:30 p.m. Citizens are encouraged to attend or contact City Hall with any questions or comments. Properties in the City will be divided into various billing classes based on their usage as residential or non-residential. Residential customers would be billed by the total area of impervious surface on their property (i.e. sidewalks, driveways, rooftops, patios, etc.). All other developed properties will be considered non-residential and would be billed $75.60 per 3,800 square feet of impervious surface area. Examples of these types of properties include offices, apartment complexes, shopping centers, etc. Properties that are undeveloped or do not have any impervious surface area on the property would not receive a bill.
Snellville’s Stormwater Utility will assess this fee to property owners based on the demand that their property places on the drainage system. This method is being considered in-lieu of raising property taxes which have historically been utilized for stormwater management. Many citizens have asked why the City needs to implement this fee and more importantly why our own SWMP. The primary drivers behind the new program are the State and Federal regulations that have been placed on the City in the past 2 years as well as the need to replace several large drainage systems under our City’s streets. Historically, Gwinnett County has managed the stormwater regulatory needs of the City but has recently changed this practice since implementing their own Stormwater Utility. As such, the City is now required to implement these programs internally.
Snellville’s proposed Stormwater Utility User Fee System has been designed to maintain regulatory compliance and address urgent capital needs related to our existing drainage systems. Based on these needs, a proposed rate structure has been developed and would be applied to the various properties in the City.
Proposed City of Snellville Stormwater Utility Rate Schedule
Billing Class Inpervious Surface Range Annual Bill
(Based on square feet)
Residential Tier 1 up to 2,850 sq ft $56.70
Residential Tier 2 2,851 sq ft - 4,750 sq ft $75.60
Residential Tier 3 Greater than 4,750 sq ft $94.50
Non-Residential Properties $75.60 / 3,800 sq ft

- Snellville Overlay Public Input Meeting The City of Snellville will hold a Public Input Meeting on June 3rd, 2008, at the City Hall Community Room at 7:00 p.m. to discuss Overlay Zoning District Ordinances (East Main Street/Athens Hwy. Corridor and North Road Corridor).
The City of Snellville is nearing the end of updating its Comprehensive Plan. Moreover, as a result of this process, two Zoning Overlay Ordinances are being proposed to further implement the vision of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. This workshop will provide a forum for citizens to discuss these ordinances, areas of concern and identify opportunities for positive change. During the workshop, participants will be asked to assess these areas and identify characteristics that should be preserved and to identify needs for the future.
The East Main Street/Athens Hwy. corridor represents one of last major corridors in the City of Snellville with significant undeveloped land. It is rapidly growing and has experienced a great deal of commercial and residential growth in the past few years. In an attempt to avoid the linear strip commercial development that is evident along major roadways throughout the City, a nodal development form has been proposed. In the last Comprehensive Plan Update a new future land use designation was created with this purpose in mind entitled “78 East Activity Node.” It is found at prominent intersections with the intent of creating “pulse-nodes” of walkable mixed-use development.
While the Comprehensive Plan lays the groundwork for this type of development through the future land use category, more direction is needed to achieve this goal. An overlay district is needed to set up clear development regulations to ensure the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is realized.
The North Road corridor is likely to experience major land use changes in coming years. This is already evident as multiple homes have been converted to office uses. There have also been significant development pressures to consolidate parcels and redevelop areas in close proximity to State Road 124 (Scenic Hwy.). In the Comprehensive Plan Update, the North Road corridor was identified as needing special planning attention due to these anticipated changes. An overlay district is necessary to ensure new development/redevelopment does not encroach upon and is in keeping with the residential character of the stable neighborhoods to the east.
