In answer to query, Mike Holzmiller stated staff's biggest concern was where one large property owner was ready to prepare a plan, but no one else was ready. This was not a problem in this zone, because these owners will pay all the costs of preparing the plan. 103 - /p COUNCIL /o J MEMBERS Z. 1 %9 Lewis Pettine M amaux x Larson e 0 MINUTES April 7, 1987 Page 5 PUBLIC HEARINGS: (continued) In answer to Council query regarding allocation of costs in other zones, Mr. Holzmiller stated if there were not 100% giving consent, and someone did not agree to pick up the cost, there would have to be a limit set by Council at a public hearing and the actual cost would be determined after the plan was prepared and approved. The people not wishing to participate would be assessed on an average basis or development potential basis. Mike Holzmiller continued stating the cost would not be assessed and would not be paid when the plan was approved, but when that owner was ready for development. Council Member Larson asked what happened if 70 or 80% of the owners represented only 20% of the acreage. Could they force the large land owner to have a plan prepared. City Attorney Vincent Biondo stated the actual costs shall be determined and assessed pro rata, based on acreage and development potential. He stated this would be a problem that Council would be addressina in the future. Mayor Lewis inquired what would happen if there was a dispute about planning, and staff indicated the Facilities Plan, when approved by Council, would become the City's facilities plan. Council would be allowing the petitioners to prepare the draft plan. Staff would review that plan and recommend to Council whether it was an acceptable plan or needed changes. Even if the petitioners prepare a plan and staff recommended changes, the property owners still could object to the plan at the public hearing.
