CASE # t.83 ADOPT ORDINANCE AMENDING SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE IMPACT FEES FOR ARTERIAL STREETS By: Jessie Hart, Finance Officer and Bill Goodrich, City Attorney Background: On May 23, 1995, the Road and Bridge Committee presented a recommendation to implement a transportation impact fee for developers. The City Council approved the recommendation. This fee would be utilized to offset costs for arterial street improvements including accesses and signalization where necessary that were caused by new development. The fee structure was adopted at that May 23 meeting; however, there was not an ordinance in place that would allow such a fee. On November 14, 1995, City Attorney Goodrich presented an ordinance establishing a developmental assessment fee on all new subdivisions. Council introduced such ordinance at that time. Mr. Goodrich also disseminated a memorandum (enclosed) to Council that noted a resolution that would be presented at this evening's meeting entitled "Resolution establishing a building permit fee for all non-residential building permits and certain residential building permits issued within the City of Ramsey". The memo also stated that the ordinance and resolution would be more thoroughly reviewed by the Road and Bridge Committee and Council at tonight's meeting. All the information is included with this case for further review and both the ordinance and resolution are being presented to Council for formal adoption. Council Action: Motion to recommend Council adopt Ordinance #95-XX establishing a developmental assessment fee on all new subdivisions. -and- Motion to recommend Council adopt Resolution #95-11-_ establishing a building permit fee for all non-residential building permits and certain residential building permits issued within the City of Ramsey.
