Gaffron indicated there <br /> also has not been a final decision on the location of a trail in this area. <br /> Andrews stated he understands the rationale but feels that 20 feet is reasonable. <br /> Gaffron stated they would like to obtain an easement for the trail in the event it is located on that side of <br /> the street. <br /> Andrews stated as it relates to the sewer and water fees,in their opinion the fees should be assessed on <br /> 1.95 acres rather than the total 3.85. Andrews stated it his understanding they are being brought into a <br /> Class II development and questioned whether the fees could be reduced. Andrews stated they started with <br /> three legal lots of record and that it is a matter of creating two new lots: Andrews indicated the fees , <br /> would have a bigger impact on a small development like this and requested the fees be based on the 1.9 <br /> acres. . <br /> Murphy indicated that really is not a negotiable item. <br /> Gaffron stated the ordinance says the entire subdivision is charged the water connection fee based on the � <br /> total acreage of the development. <br /> Andrews stated they want to construct this development without the need for a variance and that they <br /> were looking for some clarification on the fees. <br /> Gaffron stated the water connection charges of$2520 per lot would be paid at the time of the issuance of <br /> a building permit. Gaffron stated the City used to collect park fees at the time the lot was developed and <br /> that usually the City collects fees upfront. <br /> Andrews stated in this particular case the applicant has lived there almost 40 years and that they have <br /> purchased the lot to the rear to preserve the trees. Andrews stated the Fritzes are not developers and that <br /> the upfront fees would have a significant impact. <br /> Murphy stated he has lrnown Mr.Fritz for 25 years and that he would recommend the fees be paid at the <br /> time the building permit is issued. <br /> Andrews noted the Fritzes do plan to continue to reside on the property. <br /> Sansevere moved,McMillan seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5434,a Resolution Approving <br /> the Preliminary Plat for Property Located at 3805 and 3845 North Shore Drive and 1635 <br /> Shadywood Road,with the water connection fees being paid at the time of the issuance of the <br /> building permit and a 20 foot setback.
