I I I ! I I I I I I I I I I I I I I ,I Hills to the north or to Trott Brook Ridge from the south were of sufficient levels to demand a through sue, et connection between 168th Lane and Bison Street N.W. It was suggested by Staff that we take this information to the Council at its next meeting and that perhaps Council will then propose a public heating at one of the September meetings to further discuss the matter. Staff suggested that if there was to be a subsidy of any amount for any reason towards the Bison Street N.W. Project, that Council would have to evaluate what the long term impact of that subsidy would be as it relates to furore road paving projects and that Staff would be attempting to estimate this potential cost exposure be to the City. All members of the neighborhood expressed agreement with the above position. A thought I had after the meeting concluded was that perhaps the Council ought to consider a street paving policy similar to the recently enacted water connection policy, which allows for a City subsidy of the water and sewer connections so long as the property or properties in question do not further subdivide or intensify their use. With a subdivision or intensification of use, upon receipt of the subsidy, the property in question is levied a charge commensurate with the infrastructure benefit it has received. Perhaps a similar policy could be placed on Bison Street N.W. or any similar roadway projects. Attached to these notes is the Dellwood Hills Estates position paper and the sign-up sheet from the meeting of August 18, 1993.
