One way is to negotiate through development agreements; <br />however, one of the disadvantages of doing that is you may have one development paying <br />for the entire impact of the other developments. The advantage of an impact fee is a <br />uniform charge. There are not a lot of communities using impact fees. You may have <br />some improvements that would be difficult to detenrdne which subdivision would most <br />benefit. <br /> <br />Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beahen felt that the City should implement an impact fee. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated it would be good to have Council pass it as a policy <br />and come back with an ordinance subsequent to that policy, He inquired if the Committee <br />would desire that a fee be charged up front to the developer or to asses it to individual <br />property owners. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beahen inquired if impact fees would pertain only to new development. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that it would. <br /> <br />Road and Bridge Committee/April 25, 1995 <br /> Page I of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
