For newly constructed projects benefit to existing or non-growth share is considered to be nil. For road widenings or upgrades, benefit to existing or non-growth share is based on the cost to the Town of repaving theexisting sections of road twice to build-out of the Town. In short the non-growth share is the capital cost the Town would incur if there was no growth in the Town to 2031. The calculation of the non-growth share assumes thefollowing resurfacing costs per km: 2019-2041 Increased Service Needs Attributable to Anticipated Development Timing (year) Gross Capital Cost Estimate (2019$) Net Capital Cost Benefit to Existing Development Grants, Subsidies and Other Contributions Attributable to New Development Total Page 10 of 34 Anticipated Capital Needs Fire Services 8 Less:Potential D.C.
