These c^a�7es an� r=�c�TMe^�a�.ions by tne Plan Commission are re�?ac�:�d i:� �ne a-�;��s�d ordinance. I�mendments to Subdivision Ordinance May 13, 1977 Page �2 The Plan Commission then discussed the proposed amend- ment of Section 30-40 (A) (3). The original recommendation dealt ��tith the subdividers' petitioning the City Counc.il on January l, and the Plan Commission felt that it would be well to set this date ahead so that the Capital Trrip.rove- ments Proqram could be prepared earlier. The Plan Com- mission recommendation is that the date be set at September lst and this recommendation is reflected in the ardinance. The P1an Commission also €elt that putting the entire em- ghasis on the lowest,unrecoverable city cost per lot was wrong in the instance where the city would have to make a decisior on wh�c;. s�abdiviszons would be ituided in th� event that funds were not available to fund all subdivi- sions. Therefore, the Plan Co:�imission voted to say that the City Council would be guided by other factors and consideration would be given to the lowe�t, unrecoverable city cost per lot. This recorn�Tended change by the Plan Con�rnission is reflected in the proposed ordinance. The other c.hanges in reqard to the city furnishing engin- eering and approving plans rather than preparing the plar.s for subdivision improvements, are not in accordance with the Plan Commission's 4-3 vot�. The Plan Commission recommended that the city continue to furnish this service free of c'riarge to subdividers. I disagree with -this concept, and the ordinance do�s not reflect the Plan Commissionrs recommendation. Unde.r the or_dinance provisions as attached, the city would have the option of providing the enqineerinq ser- vices or te1]_ir.g the subdivider to have the improvements desigr�ed by a private consul_ting enqineering firm. If the city did provic�G the engineering services, it would re- cover 3 � oF the cost cf the improve.<<en-ts and, if this provision had been in effect in the 1977 Capital Improve- ments Program, th� ci�y would have recovered $65,395.2� for the engineering work that it has performed, and this caould have raised tne cos� of an average lot by $234. B�cause several of the lcts are multi_-family, -the addi- tional engineering costs on a per-dwelling unit basis woul.d have been $169.85, if the provisions had been in ef.fect on the subd�_visions constructed in the 1977 Capital Impro�rem�nts Program. The Plan Commission also recommended, by a 4-3 vote, that the city not recover any of the costs of storm sewers and that the c.�`v ;,or.t�nu� to place all storm sewers in subdi- visions at no cos� to the subdivider. This, of course, is contrary to my memorandum to you on April 8, 1977, ar.d I believe that tlze storm sewer costs represents the bulk of the city's inv�stment in assisting subdividers. Under �the Amendm�nts to Subdivision Ordinance blay 13 , 19 7 7 �------------ --- Page L"3 �. , � � �roposal which is reflected in the subdivision ordinance amendments, the city would recover the cost of storm sewers, u� to an amount ec�ual to $10 per front foot of lots cre- ated in the subdivision, If this policy had been in effect in the 1977 Capital Improvernen�s Program Subdivisions, the city would have assessed (thus recovering) $204,500 for'storm sewers in the new subdivision. The city still would have borne a total of $81,500 far storm sewers in the 1977 Capital Improvements Program Subdivisions, had this prograrn been in effect. The additi.onal assessment for storm sewer would have amounted to an average of $999 per lot. If the City Council wishes to follow exactly the recommen- dations of the Plan Comz�ission which were adopted by a a-3 majority regarding the recovery of storm sewer and engineer-ing c�sts, the Council would simply not amend. Section 30-40, az�d.the situation would remain status c�uo. I hope this memo clarifies the P1an Commission's actions on the proposed subdivision ordinance. cs Respec�tfully submitted G% ' y .ar �n °�:. 9 ,,ik�"' � William D.
