Pro rata payment(s) and Facilities Agreement for Meadow Ridge subdivision. Approval of the final plat was conditional on two issues. 1. The water and sewer lines for this development are in place along the east edge of the property, paid for by the developer of Tara Farms and the City has a pro rata agreement with them regarding anyone else using these lines. This amounts to about $35,000. 2. Capital Improvement Fee or Facilities Fee — all developers since Tara Farms have been asked to pay this fee so existing residents are not paying for the cost of development. Mr. Lawrence said the developer has proposed he pay $1500 per lot total for the facilities fee, with no pro rata fee. The developer stated that it was his understanding when he purchased the property that there was no pro rata because there is a provision in the easement that the property owner granted to the city that says the City has access to the water and sewer line. The City has been charging a fee of $1000-1250 for water taps and the same for sewer taps depending on where the property is located for a total of approx. $1500 for the last several months. Mr. Mosier made a motion to deny the developers offer. Mr. Finley seconded the motion. The motion carried 510/0. 6.
