City Administrator Erickson addressed the issue of Premature Residential
• Subdivisions and infrastructure needs. The City Council has placed a priority
on the following improvements which address the needs of commercial
businesses:
Cedar Avenue improvements from Dodd to C.R. 70 expanded to 4 lanes
C.R. 46 to T.H. 5 with a new interchange
C.R. 70 Bridge replacement and widening
T.H. 50 Upgrade
The cost for improvements will be almost $30 million during the next five
yeazs. The County will pay for 55% of the cost and the City will pay for 45%
of county road improvements. Any other minor arterial or extended roads to
serve proposed residential developments will need to be paid for by
developers.
Matasosky raised the issue of those developers who hadn't met the
moratorium deadline and whether they would be excluded again if the
moratorium is continued. R. Erickson stated that the legal right still stands
for previously approved preliminary plats. Emond raised the issue of
increased development costs due to the new regulations. Licht stated that
NAC estimates, on average, 20 percent will be added to development costs
• because of the added frontage to lots.
93.09 Motion was made by Detjen, seconded by Matasosky, that the Economic
Development Commission recommend to the City Council the consideration
of proposed changes in ordinances and to continue the moratorium through
12/31/93, to allow time to implement standazds.
