Show Centerville changes fees ers of homes with subsurface drainage needs to acquire rights-of-way to use for those underground systems, a very costly proposition. The committee, which consists of six individuals, is expected to report back to the councU by Julv 15. By TOM HARALDSEN CENTERVILLE City council coun-cil has given approval to an ordinance ordi-nance amending the land development develop-ment fees for subdivision and residential re-sidential development, changes which raise costs but have the support sup-port of developers. The new charges incorporate all costs, including engineering, into one fee. Developers are supportive of the change because engineering costs will no longer be billed on an on-going basis, as is currently done. One subdivision and residential development, for example, the conceptual review will be raised from the current $100 fee to $355. Preliminary reviews will now cost $660, instead of $300, and a final review will run $705, rather than $150 plus $25 per unit. For commercial-industrial development, conceptual plan reviews will be $100, preliminary site plan reviews $220, preliminary site plan reviews for PUD's $300, and a final review will cost $150, plus $50 per unit. The ordinance will apply only to those developments in R-l and R-2 zones, and hillside overlay developments de-velopments are not included. Council agreed to the ordinance after af-ter a provision was added which attaches a $100 additional review fee after two reviews have been made. A study of the proposal was prepared pre-pared by William Murri, an accounting intern at the University of Utah, and submitted to the council coun-cil before the ordinance was approved. In other action related to development, de-velopment, the council has approved a moratorium on residential residen-tial subdivisions containing subsurface sub-surface drain lines which discharge waters onto or under public streets, and formed an ad hoc committee com-mittee to study possible elimination elimina-tion of all such subsurface drain lines under residential streets and right-of-ways. The approved moratorium, which will remain in effect until November 1, 1988, does not apply to any subdivision which has already received conceptual approval from the planning commission. com-mission. The ordinance reads that the moratorium "is necessary to the peace, health and safety of the inhabitants of the city of Centerville, Centervil-le, to allow the Planning Commission Commis-sion and City Council time to study the effect on the public streets and on the orderly development of the city of the discharge of subsurface waters on and under said streets, and to formulate rules and regulations regula-tions to their approval." A second ordinance, which was tabled for study by the ad hoc committee, com-mittee, would require that all subsurface sub-surface drains be constructed so that no underground drainage waters wa-ters collected would be discharged either onto or under a public street, though they could cross under such streets with council approval. It would, in essence, force devclop- |
