Citizens Input: (Citizens are allowed 3 minutes to speak. The City Council is unable to respond or to discuss any issues brought up during this section). Carolyn Cashion with Ultra Homes said that building in Sanger is a partnership with the community and if they don’t make any money they are not going to stay. Currently they have three contracted homes since February. She has built five homes in Sanger and is concerned that recently two items were added by the Development Services department which were a structural plan and an engineering bracing plan and due to this, it will cause a three to four week delay and more costs for them to absorb and that no notice was given regarding the new changes.

Conduct the Second Public Hearing Regarding Land Use Assumptions and Capital Improvements Plan in Preparation for the Adoption of Roadway Impact Fees. Mayor Muir opened the Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m. David Lehde asked the Council to consider the impact fee on developments and gave the example that an added cost of $2,000 ends up being three times the amount when amortized in the cost of a mortgage. He also wanted staff to be aware if there were going to be any exemptions on platted and preliminary plats, to consider ad valorem taxes that the City would receive on new homes and would like the impact fee to be $1000 or less. Greg Cashion of Ultra Homes stated that every dollar added to the cost of a house eliminates people from being able to get a mortgage. Carolyn Cashion wanted clarifications on the impact fee – unit or flat fee. Mayor Muir closed the Public Hearing at 7:18 p.m. 7.
