Comprehensive Plan Capital Improvements Element <br /> Monitoring System <br /> To effectively implement the concurrency requirement, it is necessary to maintain an estimate of <br /> available capacity for each public facility subject to level-of-service requirements. By maintaining an <br /> accurate and current available capacity' estimate for each facility, projected demand from <br /> development applications can be compared to the available capacity for the facility to determine if the <br /> project can be approved. The purpose of the monitoring program is to maintain a current estimate of <br /> available capacity for each facility. <br /> With the exception of public schools,the monitoring system portion of the concurrency management <br /> plan is maintained by the county's planning division. Effective July 1, 2008, the School District <br /> initiated and now maintains the monitoring system portion of the concurrency management plan for <br /> public schools. Using a network computer system and database management software,records were <br /> developed and are maintained for each specific facility. <br /> Based upon information in the specific comprehensive plan elements,total capacity figures for each <br /> applicable facility are maintained in database files established for each public facility category. <br /> Capacity figures are modified as facilities are expanded or as criteria specified in the availability of <br /> capacity section are met, thereby allowing a programmed expansion to be considered for capacity <br /> determination purposes. Through contact with other county departments,planning staff are able to <br /> modify capacity estimates as soon as facility characteristics are changed. <br /> Table 6.17 depicts the general structure of the monitoring system database file for each public facility <br /> category. That table shows that available capacity for each specific facility is a function of total <br /> capacity less existing demand and less committed demand. The demand section of this concurrency <br /> management plan identifies the methodology for assessing demand. <br /> Table 6.17: Monitoring System Design <br /> Public Facility Specific Total Capacity Existing Demand Committed Demand Available Capacity <br /> Category Facilities <br /> Peak season/peak Annual count(average) Volume estimated from (Total Capacity)-(Existing <br /> Traffic Roadways direction/peak (peak season/peak approved Development Demand)-(Committed Demand) <br /> hour(LOS D) direction/peak hour) Orders(DO) <br /> Sanitary Sewer Treatment Design flows Existing flows Volume estimated from (Total Capacity)-(Existing <br /> Plants approved DO's Demand)-(Committed Demand) <br /> Potable Water Treatment Design flows Existing flows Volume estimated from (Total Capacity)-(Existing <br /> Plants approved DO's Demand)-(Committed Demand) <br /> Solid Waste Landfill Active cell design Active cell volume used Volume estimated from (Total Capacity)-(Existing <br /> capacity approved DO's Demand)-(Committed Demand) <br /> (Acres per thousand (Acres per thousand (Total Capacity)-(Existing <br /> Recreation Parks Park Acreage population)X(existing population)X(projected Demand)-(Committed Demand) <br /> population) population for approved <br /> Community Development Department River County <br /> Adopted ,2019,Ordinance 2019-/I 47 <br /> Appendix A - CIE Amendment <br />
