5 <br /> The Planning Board considered the proposed <br /> ordinance text amendments (Items #5b and #5c) at its <br /> April 13 , 1993 meeting and recommended that they be <br /> presented at the May 24, 1993 public hearing for <br /> citizen comment. The Planning Board Ordinance Review <br /> Committee will consider Item #5d prior to the <br /> Commissioners' May 3 meeting. The Committee's <br /> recommendation will be presented at that time. <br /> At the Board's direction, the public hearing <br /> advertisement for the public school capital facilities <br /> fee proposal has been drafted to reflect a fee range <br /> of $500 to $750. The proposal is based on a flat fee <br /> per dwelling unit, regardless of dwelling type or <br /> number of bedrooms. If the Board so chooses, alternate <br /> fee schedules can be prepared by staff and presented <br /> at the hearing which provide for a sliding scale of <br /> fees based on dwelling type and/or number of bedrooms. <br /> Given the number of proposals to be considered, the <br /> Board may wish to consider the following options: <br /> 1. Start the public hearing as scheduled (7: 30 P.M. <br /> • on May 24) but carry over items as needed to tie <br /> following night (May 25) , depending upon the time <br /> required to hear all items; or <br /> 2 . Set two separate public hearings, one on May 24 <br /> and the other on May 25. As one option, the <br /> Economic Development District proposals as well as <br /> applications submitted by citizens could be heard <br /> on May 24, while the remaining items could be <br /> considered on May 25. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the <br /> Notice of Public Hearing for May 24, 1993. Changes to <br /> the Notice will be made by staff to reflect the <br /> Board's decision regarding a sliding scale of public <br /> school capital facilities fees and hearing schedule <br /> (separate vs. continuation) . <br />
