DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS
(7.1) Consideration on first reading of Ordinance Number 98-9851
establishing an impact fee for the Schilling Drainage Ditch and Detention Basin.
Roy Dudark, Director of Planning and Community Development,
explained the proposed impact fee.
Dennis Kissinger, City Manager, explained in detail the current use
of detention ponds, the new detention basin and the benefits.
Dean Owens, representing some of the Schillingarea property
owners, spoke in favor of reducing the proposed fee from $.179 per c.f. to
$.0066 per c . f , noting and earlier study which showed that developing the
drainage ditch would help solve flood water problems as far north as the I-70
area. He also noted the grant was applied for as a flood protection project for
the existing city subdivisions. He asked the Commission to set an impact fee to
fairly reflect benefit to this area, $.0066/c.f.
Action
A discussion with Commissioner Brungardt ensued with Mr. Owens
concurring with the Commissioner's observation that a middle ground was
achievable.
Mr. Kissinger then joined the conversation with the Commission and
Mr. Owens, disputing Mr. Owens' position and stating that he would prefer no
fee rather than a reduced fee to insure against future risks.
Bob Wasko, also representing adjacent property owners, expressed
that this did appear to be a cost recovery fee and it should be lower than the
proposed $.179/c.f. This project benefits the entire city and the entire cost
should not be borne by the surrounding property owners. It also appears the
ordinance says that the fees could be used to fund other projects which he
doesn't feel is right. He doesn't object to a fee, but it needs to be kept in
proportion to benefit.
Roy Applequist, property owner, explained that he is concerned by
the city's lack of concern of a long range plan. What Dennis described was
piecemeal.
Mr. Dudark and Shawn O'Leary, Director of Engineering, then
addressed the Commission followed by closing comments from Mr. Applequist.
