§ 9.2.3. Adoption of drainage basin master plans required.

A.

To impose or collect drainage/stormwater facility fees, the property that is the subject of the subdivision, conservation development or planned land division plat or plan must be located in a drainage basin for which a drainage basin master plan has been approved and adopted as part of the county's master plan under C.R.S. § 30-28-106.

B.

Each drainage basin master plan, following its adoption, must be kept on file with the county engineer. A map of each drainage basin must be kept on file with the county clerk and recorder and with the county engineer.

C.

When a drainage basin lies wholly or partly within the growth management area of one or more municipalities, the drainage basin master plan must be consistent with the plan adopted by the municipality within whose GMA district the basin lies.

D.

Drainage basin master plans must identify major drainage system facilities that are or will be needed to provide proper disposition of stormwater throughout the basin and downstream to an acceptable point of discharge.

E.

Drainage basin master plans must contain an estimate of the cost of all such major drainage system facilities within the basin. Drainage/stormwater facility fees must be a dollar amount per acre of developable land calculated by dividing the total cost of major drainage facilities by the number of acres within the basin. Fees for individual building sites will be based on the developed area within the project.
