RE: Roadway Impact Fees
Dear Mr. Crow:
This letter is in response to an inquiry concerning the City's proposed adoption of Roadway
Impact Fees. As you may be aware, the City Council will be considering the adoption of
Roadway Impact Fees at the January 10, 1995 City Council meeting. The City Attorney, with
the assistance of City staff, is preparing an ordinance amending Chapter 17 of the Code of
Ordinances to add Roadway Impact Fees. Several complex issues will be addressed in the
Roadway Impact Fee Ordinance. These include the following:
1. A system for offsets and/or credits toward right-of-way dedication and/or roadways that
have been constructed by developers;
2. A comparison between the City's current escrow fees and the proposed Roadway Impact
Fees for projects currently in the development process and the collection of the lesser
amount.
As you can see, both of the above offer a great amount of latitude and flexibility to developers
currently in the development process. The City has not determined what is to be considered "in
the development process" i.e., does the process start on the application date or the preliminary
plat approval date? Those issues will be resolved when Council takes action on the ordinance.
When the preliminary ordinance has been prepared by the City Attorney, a copy can be faxed
to your office, upon request, for your review prior to the January 10th City Council meeting.
As always, the City is very sensitive to the needs of the development community. The Council
will make every attempt to be fair in the adoption and implementation of any ordinances that
affect the development community.
If you should have any additional questions or need any additional information concerning this
issue please contact me at your convenience. If you should have any questions concerning the
technical report or would like to request a copy of the technical report please contact Kenneth
M. Griffin. P.E., Asst. City Manager/Director of Public Works at 393-1016.
Sincerely.
Tom Morton
Mayor
