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 i�pact 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 />' <br />some improvements that would be difficult to determine which subdivision would most <br />benefit. <br />1 <br />Councilmembers Zimmerman and Beahen felt that the City should implement an impact fee. <br />City Administr or Schroeder stated it would be good to have Council pass it as a policy <br />.tor <br />and come back aft ordinance subsequent to that policy. He inquired if the Committee <br />1 <br />would desire th t 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 />Mr. Jankowski rep lied that it would. <br />1 <br />' Road and Bridge Committee /April 25, 1995 <br />Page 1 of 4 99 <br />
