1.Call Meeting to Order.
Mayor Muir called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
2. Presentation by Joe Iliff, Development Services Director, on Architectural Standards.
Architectural standards were adopted over 15 years ago for new residential and
commercial buildings. In recent years,the standards have been amended. Even
though the core of the ordinances remains the same,Council has approved several
alternate designs, or the use of alternate materials on commercial and residential
structures.Joe is requesting direction from Council on whether the standards
should be revised to approve these designs and uses by right, eliminating the need for
Council approval each time.
Joe will bring potential revisions at a later meeting.
3. Presentation by Joe Iliff, Development Services Director, on Roadway Impact Fees.
Roadway impact fees are fees that are collected on new development for the funding of
roadway facilities attributable to the increased traffic demanded by new construction.
The fees go in a fund separate from the City’s General Fund and can be spent on the
construction of new roads, but cannot be spent to repair or replace existing roads.
Joe advised that the fees would be collected with the building permit.
A study was prepared by Eikon to determine a projection of future traffic, the
projected costs of the future road projects and the ratio between the two.
Discussion between Council was held.
This item will be brought back at a later meeting.
4. Adjourn.
Mayor Muir adjourned the meeting at 7:03 p.m.
