Re: Service Availability Charge (SAC) adjustment for Pub Addition — Carbone's Expansion
Dear Jim and Joe:
Jessie Nye, SAC Program Administrator for Metropolitan Council's Environmental Division has
reviewed the permit issued to you in March of this year for the pub addition to the existing
Carbone's restaurant operation, in relation to the Service Availability Charge (SAC) calculation
for the addition /expanded space.
Ms Nye's audit found the SAC calculation in error. Per her calculations 5 SAC units should
have been charged for the 43 seats created by the addition and after credit for the 1
square feet of space the business assumed, versus the 4 SAC units charged with remodeling
permit 2010 -00027 issued on March 19,2010.
Ms. Nye's calculations for SAC units to the addition /expansion are as follows:
43 seats @ 8 seats per SAC unit = 5.38 SAC Units
LESS 1,551 s.f. divided by 3,000 s.f. =.52 (Assumed Space SAC Credit)
= 4.87 Net SAC Charge or rounded total 5.0
Reducing Ms. Nye's calculation of 5.0 by the 4.0 SAC units charged with your remodeling
permit, 1 SAC unit remains payable and due to the City of Oak Park Heights in the amount of
$2,100.
At this time Metropolitan Council is allowing the 1.0 SAC unit due to be paid at the 2010 rate
of $2,100 per unit without any penalty. The City will be submitting this amount to
Metropolitan Council at the end of October as part of its October SAC reporting requirement.

Please remit payment of $2,100 payable to the City of Oak Park Heights for the adjusted SAC
unit calculation for the business use. Payment is requested by November 1, 2010 to cover the
payment the City is remitting to Metropolitan Council and to avoid having the unpaid balance
assessed to the properties taxes.
Upon receipt, you will be issued a permit noting the additional SAC paid to the building for
the pub addition /expanded use for your bookkeeping and so that future uses of the building
may be appropriately credited for their use within.
A second copy of this letter has been enclosed so that you may remit it with your payment of
$2,100 by November 1, 2010.
1 apologize for your inconveniences and am happy to answer any questions you may have
regarding this billing and welcome you to call or email me anytime.
Sincerely,
Jule A. Hultman
Planning & Code Enforcement Officer
