He reported the Council's need for due diligence in enforcing the legalities ot <br />the City and questioned whether the issues could be separated. <br />Goetten asked if the applicant wanted to receive approval on the application less the Par <br />Dedication fee. Winston said he would like to receive total approval with the fee being <br />negotiated. Goetten informed him it is the Council's practice not to grant approval when <br />issues are unsettled. <br />Radio said the normal recommendation would be to address all issues and not separate <br />one from the application. Since the application is in preliminary stages. Radio suggested <br />the possibility of escrowing the fee until the amount is settled. Winston said he would be <br />agreeable to that solution. <br />Goetten voiced concern with requests made by other applicants in the future by setting <br />such a precedent. <br />Winston said he feels the fee is not reasonable and has not been told otherwise. <br />Jabbour informed Winston that the Council will be discussing the issue of the Park <br />Dedication Fund in an Executive Session following the regular meeting. He reported that <br />the City is not in the position to negotiate the fee; the fee must be paid in full or the <br />ordinance changed. <br />3 <br />I <br />i <br />I
