CitY (DF SAVAGE ~ MEMORANDUM £ Mayor and City Council C~aig L. Ebeling, City Engineer COllectOr Streets Policy October 7, 1985 INTRODUCTION: BACKGROUND-- At the last meeting it was determined that staff should take some of the general principles that came out of the discussions and to compute some various combinations using these ideas. This memo intends to present these items. At the 9126/85 meeting I.believe the following points were made, by various Cogncil people. I also feel that there was a general co~densus on these points: We are probably not in a position to be able to use our MSAS monies to help in collector street construc- tion. It w6uld probably in most instances be "cleaner" to have the developer handle collector street construc- tion. The developer would then be given credit towards his .collector street fees and/or other fees. Necessary fund transfers within the city would then be made. The permit fee and area charges should be balanced to keep our permit fees'in line, but also to still lessen the up-front impact to 4evetopers to the greatest degree possible. We should look at various combinations of the permit fees and area charges to arrive at this balance. The relationship between our building permit fees and our competitor~s fees, is a necessary consideration in striking this balance, I I I I I I I I I My line of reasoning on establishing rates has been based on the following parameters~ * collector street costs of $100 per linear foot. * Residential street costs of $44 per'linear foot. * One-half mile collector street spacing. * Net developable area equals 80% of gross area.
