The developer of the Heritage Oaks residential subdivision is constructing approximately 1,800' of 8" waterline generally in Wiederstein Road from Schertz Parkway to Dietz Creek. This line is on the City's Wastewater Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan. Given that it is on the City's Wastwater Impact Fee Capital Improvements Plan, the developer is entitled per State Law and Section 90-152 of the City's Code of Ordinances, to offsets/credits for this construction. Per Section 90-152, "The unit costs used to calculate the offsets shall not exceed those assumed for the capital improvements included in the capital improvements program for the category of facility within the service area for which the capital recovery fee is imposed." Related to this, the developer has proposed to realign Wiederstein Road as part of his proposed development and this per the UDC is having to construct Wiederstein Road. He is receiving Roadway Impact Fee Credits for doing so (Roadway Capital Recovery Offset Agreement approved per Resolution 25-R-055). As such, the cost in the wastewater Impact Fee CIP, which did not assume the road was having to be realigned and reconstructed, for surface replacement, will not apply to his impact fee credit maximum. His maximum impact fee credit is estimated to be no more than $900,000.00.

Provide for the orderly development of infrastructure within the City of Schertz.

Provide for the development of infrastructure in a timely, cost-effective manner.

Approval of Resolution 25-R-068 authorizing a  Wastewater Capital Recovery Offset Agreement with the developer of the Heritage Oaks Subdivision for the construction of approximately 1,800' of 8" wastewater line in Wiedertein Road, generally adjacent to the development.

The fiscal impact to the City is estimated to be no more than $270,000.00, as the not more than $900,000.00 offset will be applied to wastewater impact fees still due for the development, which are estimated to be approximately $630,000.00. The developer is eligible to be paid for the unused offsets and these will be paid from the Wastewater Impact Fee fund (generally paid into by other development).
