VIHETHER THE LAND DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCES # 206 should be amended. A. Final Design Drawings Engineer Smart reviewed with the Commission pages 9 and 13 of Ordinance #206. He said the p~iminary phase essentially in the wording of the ordinance has the developer~U~ engineers completely design the water and sewer systems as a major part of design in a sub division and at a large expense and they do not need to do it. He recommended it be changed in the preliminary plat so they would have to present only preliminary drawings showing locations and etc., he also said several areas should be changed in the wording. Dell Peters asked why the Engineer w~ntedthe developer to submit the plans as he had suggested.

Cash Contributions in lien of parks. Richard Allen suggested the cash contribution should be for the finished products rather than the bare ground. He explained it was a considerable expense to the City to develop bare ground into parks. Engineer Smart said the ordinance now states the developer donate land at his cost, plus value of curb, gutter and sidewalk; but if those were developed lots, like the remainder of the subdivision the lots would be worth considerable more. Dell Peters said it would raise the cost to developers but it would enhance the remainder of the subdivision, and this cost is passed on to the buyers. Richard Allen made motion to recommend to the City Council the following amendment to the Land Development Ordinance #206: The cash contributions in lieu of land dedicated by developers for parks and recreation purposes the "fair market value' of the land shall be computed to include the enhancement of value created by the remainder of the development and also to include the cost of improvements that would otherwise be required under Section 3-3 (E) Cash Contribuions in Lieu of Parks, continued (5),if such dedication occurs. in favor.
