improvements for entire subdivisions. This policy would result in the likelihood that fewer <br />projects petitioned would be successful. It may not entirely address the concern over the <br />arbitrariness of the project boundaries. Alternative #3 would be to establish a minimum <br />project size. Such a minimum could be defined by a minimum number of lots, minimum <br />number of acres, or minimum project cost. The advantage to this alternative would be that <br />it would, somewhat depoliticize the issue concerning project area boundaries. Area <br />boundaries would be described so as to maximize the potential of the project's success <br />within the minimums described by the policy. Mr. Jankowski suggested that the <br />disadvantage to this alternative is that the minimums would be arguably arbitrary. Another <br />alternative could be to require a larger percentage than 35 percent of the affected property <br />owners for initiating a sewer and water project. This would require a larger degree of <br />support before a project is initiated. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman felt that the fourth alternative has some merit, or a <br />combination of the fourth with another. He suggested that it should be left in the policy to <br />do a whole subdivision at once; otherwise it pits neighbor against neighbor. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that doing an entire subdivision also makes it easier for him but <br />sometimes it is less likely that the project will happen then. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmem~an recommended that the policy for public improvements be that <br />50 percent of the benefitted parties sign the petition and that the entire subdivision be done <br />at once to alleviate pitting one neighbor against another. <br /> <br />Case #4: Schedule Road and Bridge Committee Meeting <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman suggested scheduling another Road and Bridge Committee <br />meeting for 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 13, 1994. <br /> <br />ADJOURN <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Committee meeting adjourned at 6:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, ( //~ <br /> <br />Jo T~ieling t ./'/ <br />.Rge/ordi ng~Secretary /~/ <br /> <br />Road & Bridge <br /> <br />Committee/November 7, 1994 <br />Page 4 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
