Frank noted that he has already had to pay for sidewalk going all around his property, as part of his <br />site plan. <br />At Chairman Wheeler's request, Mr. Nixon provided more details regarding the project. <br />Chairman Wheeler inquired about putting in utilities, and Administrator Baird suggested that the <br />Utilities Department meet with the property owners to discuss the cost for putting in sewer. <br />Utilities Director Erik Olson stated that Utilities would coordinate with Engineering to draft <br />a cost estimate. <br />Steve Bischoff made inquiries as to how the impact fees paid by County residents were used. <br />Administrator Baird informed him that impact fees would not pay for this project, which arose <br />from voluntary requests for paving, to which the County contributes 25%. He pointed out that no <br />requests for sewer had accompanied the original petition. <br />Joseph Paladin wanted to know if there were going to be sidewalks, and if the swales would <br />be used to convert or store water. Chairman Wheeler informed him the swales would be used to <br />convey water, and that sidewalks would place an additional cost burden on the property owners. <br />Vice Chair Bowden suggested that since this item has been on the books for three years, the <br />County should recheck with the homeowners to see if they still wanted to proceed. <br />Administrator Baird recommended having the Board postpone this item so staff could <br />research and bring back information on the following three issues: (1) sewer; (2) the cost <br />differential between property owners who have and have not escrowed; and (3) sidewalk. He also <br />felt it would be beneficial to have another meeting with the current property owners. <br />June 19, 2007 20 <br />
