Hello Claudia,
To help answer your question pertaining Water/Sewer. Fees that apply, ROW Permit $150.00 (includes all required inspections from the City), Water and Sewer connections Fees $600.00 each and calculated SDC fees for a typical single family home is around $23,223.00. The development will most likely trigger frontage improves as well (Half street, Curb and driveway approach per Molalla Construction Standards). Record shows that there is a Sewer stub already into the property. Connection to the main line on 5th street for water service via Hot Tap. There is no storm line on 5th street, all storm water will have to be detained onsite in accordance with Clackamas Plumbing code. These fees do not include any private onsite development. Let me know if you have any other question.
Regards,
Sam Miller | Sr. Engineer Tech.

Hello again. I found a lot of answers on your website. I'm not sure of the water and sewer permits. The website says getting water and sewer service is $50 each. It isn't clear if that just means the utility gives access or if that's the cost of a permit to dig a trench down the driveway to the water and sewage stubs on the street. The property I'm looking at is a vacant flag lot. The driveway to the building site is about 110 feet . Can you tell me that or direct me to where I would find that information?
Thanks, Claudia

Claudia,
You have several inquiries for the property. To provide you the best information we do require the Due Diligence application for answers from our planner. Due to workload, it can take up to 30 days to review. Many of the answers to your questions can be found in our development code. Some have to be referred to Oregon Building Code and/or Clackamas County.
Kind regards,

Hi Julie-- I don't have a plan per se. I'm trying to get answers before I commit to buying the property. Ther answers will inform the plan. Do I need to fill out the form before I buy the land?
The application says it may take up to 30 days. I only have 10 business days to find the answers or I have to commit or cancel the offer.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Claudia

Subject: questions on vacant lot
Good morning --
I have planning questions about the vacant flag lot at 0 E 5th St., Parcel 2 pictured below. I have a pending offer on the property.
- * Does the driveway have to paved or will gravel be sufficient?
- * What are the costs of sewer, water and building permits?
- * Are there other cost such as for schools, parks or streets?
- * Is it necessary to build a garage or covered parking?
- * Is a permit necessary to put in a container? For storage, not living.
- * Is there a height limit on new construction, i.e. a 2-story house?
- * Is there a restriction on skylights?
- * What are the rules on drainage or an infiltration basin?
