Gaffron further noted that the Resolution consists of two principle sections; the Findings section (pages 2 -9) which documents the City's goals, intent, and policies pertinent to this development, and The Conclusions, Order, and Conditions section (pages 9 -19) which establishes the conditions and expectations that the developer must demonstrate are met with the Development Plan submittals. The discussion with the applicants on August 22 also included the topic of affordability, which Gaffron stated would be addressed by the applicant this evening. As a sidebar, Sansevere asked to discuss item #20 from the evening's agenda, Authorization for a traffic study, and see this cost incorporated into the proposal. Sansevere argued that if it were not for this development, the City would not be conducting a traffic study at this time at all, thus he felt it was not the City's responsibility to pay for it. He felt the developer should pay for the study since the affected intersections surround his development. PAGE 9 of 22
