Case #2: Request for Amendment to Development Agreement for The Village of Sunfish Lake 2''a Addition; Case of Liberty Land Development, Inc. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon reviewed that on August 24th the Council approved thc final plat of The Village of Sunfish Lake 2nd Addition. The applicant objected to the recent increase in the sewer and water trunk fees. The Council took this under advisement, but did pass the final plat with the full increase in the fees. At the last Council meeting the Council amended the fee structure to 25 percent of the total increase currently. The development agreement for The Village of Sunfish Lake 2nd Addition is being brought forward according to this Council action. He noted the applicant has submitted a letter requesting further consideration of rates at the 2003 rate. Mike Thomas, Vice President of Liberty Land Development, Inc., stated he sent a letter thanking the Council for the chance to review this situation. He would like the Council's consideration on the old fee. He noted he misstated the fee in his letter, and would like to be able to pay the 2004 fee. Assistant Public Works Director Olson stated he has been absent from the last two Council meetings and would like the opportunity address this issue. A meeting is scheduled with staff and thc City's consultant tomorrow to look at the recommended rates within the sewer plan. He would like to request one week to review this, bringing it back at the next Council meeting. At that time there would be a firm recommendation of the new rates necessary in order to accomplish the infi'astructure improvements that have been proposed within that model. Councilmember Cook questioned if this would make a difference with this developer. City Council/September 21, 2004 Page 4 of 6
