<br /> <br /> <br />50% reduction upon 50% completion of the project. The remaining 50% cash bond or letter of <br />credit plus 25% would be held until completion. <br />Mr. Paladin <br />Next item, affidavit of exemption changes, recommended elimination <br />of affidavit of exemption in excess of 4 lots; require subdivision rules: paving to cross street and <br />cut down sprawl and “checker-boarding.” <br />Commissioner Wheeler disagreed with the affidavit of exemption in excess of 4 lots. <br />He thought the 19 lots gave more flexibility for ranchettes outside the USA. <br />Mr. Paladin <br /> pointed out that the other way to look at it is the upkeep of the roads <br />because getting out there is one of the big headaches we have besides supplying other services. <br />Commissioner Wheeler countered that it could be addressed through other means such as an <br />MSBU and expressed concern about a developer amassing hundreds of acre lots for a village <br />concept. <br />Commissioner Davis understood Commissioner Wheeler’s concern and thought an <br />Mr. Paladin <br />MSBU would be the way to go, and allowed that he did not feel strongly either way <br />on this issue. <br />Mr. Paladin <br />As to policy changes that are not in the LDRs, listed 1) more <br />aggressive right-of-way acquisitions about which he had presented a 4-point recommendation; 2) <br />better design of public streets and corridors (not just putting asphalt down); 3) utilities under the <br />sidewalks to allow more tree planting; and 4) more flexible stormwater pond design to save trees <br />and to allow lake bank planting. <br />Commissioner Wheeler asked when the Commissioners should give direction on <br />these points, now or when they come back for public hearing, and Community Development <br />Director Bob Keating responded it would be easier if those directions were given now so they <br />could be incorporated into the drafts. <br />Discussion ensued. <br />Commissioners Bowden and Davis and Vice Chairman Neuberger indicated their <br />agreement to not change the affidavit of exemption from what we have now. <br /> <br />March 15, 2005 4 <br /> <br />
