The proposed 177 Phase II lots will provide 2/3 of the total design flow and was requested to be included in the design by the developer which required relocation of the lift station , plus incidentals. Since Phase II is unplatted , this project is unique in the application of the existing Pro-Rata Ordinance 90-5 which would have required donation of an easement as designated by the City Engineer and reimbrusement of funds on a pro-rata basis to the owner (City) who installed the sewerage improvements. In order to apply the intent of the Pro-Rata Ordinance 90-5 and consider pro-ration of flows being conveyed, the remittance of $150,000 was derived .
