Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon responded in the affinrtative. <br /> <br />Ms. Norleen asked how the undeveloped portion of the land would be taxed. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Trudgeon replied the tax would depend on what the land is <br />used for. <br /> <br />Ms. Norleen asked if the homeowners association would handle the fees for the septic system <br />and the annual inspection fee. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Ms. Norleen questioned if community wells are preferred to private wells. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied that is the way the ordinance is <br />written. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt noted the issue with the community well is it would help alleviate what is done <br />when the property owner wants to connect. The biggest issue he sees is the cost of installing the <br />infrastructure up front and not connecting it. He does not see that as a cost effective solution. <br /> <br />M s. N orlcen asked if there is any idea of when water will come to the area of 179th Avenue. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied there are no plans right now north <br />of Trottbrook. This will be determined by looking at the land and the existing infrastructure. <br /> <br />Ms. Norleen questioned if about 25 percent of the land would be able to be clustered. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt explained the gross area of the land would be looked at as well as the <br />topographic features. The City ordinances will need to be complied with, and there will be <br />several factors involved. The area determined would be specific to the land. <br /> <br />Ms. Norleen commented she does not see disclosing that the land next to the cluster will be <br />developed some day as a problem. <br /> <br />Elliot Schafer, 6200 Green Valley Road, inquired about the process of hooking up to sewer and <br />water on a rural lot. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied there would be a community <br />septic system. The line could go out to the street and a force main into a common tank and into <br />thc community drain field. When sewer and water comes down it is set up for connection. <br /> <br />Mr. Schafer asked if park dedication would be required again when the area that was not <br />developed with the clustering is developed in the future. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Trudgeon responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/August 5, 2004 <br /> Page 36 of 40 <br /> <br /> <br />
