DEVELOPMENT PROCESS REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Barnhart stated the Development Process Review committee has met twice since the beginning of the <br /> year. This committee is comprised of builders,users of City services,staff,and two Council Members. <br /> The goal of the committee is to review the City's processes to see whether any improvements can be <br /> made. Some of the recommended changes can be implemented immediately and some changes will <br /> require an amendment to the City Code. Most of the changes to City Code require a review by the <br /> Planning Commission and a public hearing. <br /> The Committee is recommending the following: <br /> 1. Removal of the escrow agreement for projects that do not include a new building or an addition to <br /> a building. The escrow agreement basically guarantees that the builder is going to pay their bills <br /> , as part of their permit. Staff does not suggest removing the protection between buyers and sellers <br /> found in Section 58-77. <br /> 2. Removal of the requirement for an escrow deposit. Staff does not recommend this change since <br /> this is an effective tool in completing and maintaining erosion control issues and providing the as- <br /> built surveys and other documentation,as well as payment of pass-through engineering and legal <br /> fees,to the benefit of the general taxpayer. <br /> 3. Modification to what is required in surveys or,at a minimum,when surveys are required. To <br /> meet the Committee goals, Staff recommends amendment to Section 86-68 which stipulates when <br /> a survey or site plan must be completed by a person registered by the state of Minnesota. <br /> Page 16 of 23 <br />
