Commissioner Fults elaborated on some of the concerns <br />he had regarding subdividing and also presented some ideas for solutions. <br /> <br />Concerns: <br /> <br />Why d~s 20 acres, 40 acres, or whatever, have to all be subdivided at once? <br />Why can't you subdivide as you sell? <br />Why does the park fee have to be paid ail at once? <br /> <br />Solutions: <br /> <br />Draw up a sketch plan of the parcel of land showing where the roads are, etc. <br />Meet with State Legislature to suggest changes in the State Laws. <br />Meet with City Council to suggest changes in the City Ordinances. <br /> <br />He also stated that some of the property owners are hard to find.

He stated that th~ <br />problems are: Paper is generated, problems are communicated, but nothing ever gezs done - there <br />are no solutions offered. The matters are ignored bv the City Council members, David Hartley, <br />and Mark Banwart. He wanted to know what good 'it did to get to know the problems if none of <br />them were going to get the attention they needed. Mr. Gromberg suggested they be compiled in a <br />report and given to the Ci~, Council and Staff for review. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission/March 14, 1990 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
