17 <br /> 1 Commissioner Dorosin asked if Craig Benedict would explain why the recommendation <br /> 2 is for 75/25. <br /> 3 Craig Benedict said this is an option. He said at the last meeting, it was evident that <br /> 4 multi-family was not going to be 50% and 50%, but rather 75/25. He said staff put the proposal <br /> 5 together to reflect a better assumption. <br /> 6 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the two alternatives presented in the handout, the two <br /> 7 tables, yield the same revenues. <br /> 8 Craig Benedict said yes. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to <br /> 11 approve: Attachment 3 if the Board believes a 75/25 multi-family unit bedroom split projection <br /> 12 is the more realistic projection. (Fees would begin at 43% of the MSIF). <br /> 13 <br /> 14 VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner Jacobs, Commissioner Rich, <br /> 15 Commissioner Pelissier); Nays, 2 (Chair McKee and Commissioner Price) <br /> 16 <br /> 17 MOTION PASSES <br /> 18 <br /> 19 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br /> 20 approve the rate of acceleration at 7.5% per year, over 4 years. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner Jacobs, Commissioner Rich, <br /> 23 Commissioner Pelissier); Nays, 2 (Chair McKee and Commissioner Price) <br /> 24 <br /> 25 MOTION PASSES <br /> 26 <br /> 27 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to <br /> 28 accept the grandfathering provisions as described by the staff. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Commissioner Jacobs wanted to be clear that an additional 180 days are not being <br /> 31 added. <br /> 32 Craig Benedict said the zoning compliance permit implies certain activity, and suggested <br /> 33 checking with the Towns to see if it covers putting a foundation in, or whether it refers to land <br /> 34 clearing. <br /> 35 John Roberts said he does not know how to put that in the adoption tonight, and he said <br /> 36 the motion can be adopted tonight and staff can come back with ways to remedy this situation <br /> 37 for a future amendment. <br /> 38 Commissioner Jacobs said that would be fine. <br /> 39 Commissioner Dorosin asked if this issue could be explained under the current <br /> 40 ordinance, in comparison to this motion. <br /> 41 Craig Benedict said under current ordinance one must have a building permit in hand <br /> 42 before an impact fee had changed. He said one could get a zoning compliance permit, and <br /> 43 then get 120 days to get a building permit. <br /> 44 Commissioner Dorosin said the proposal benefits developers, whom under the current <br /> 45 ordinance, must have a building permit in hand by the end of 2016, or they will pay the new <br /> 46 rates. <br /> 47 Craig Benedict said actually, under the current ordinance, the developer must have a <br /> 48 certificate of occupancy. He said the proposal is to back it up to the zoning compliance permit. <br /> 49 He said this is especially pertinent for some of the multi-family projects. <br /> 50 Commissioner Rich asked the Attorney if the content of the motion is vague. <br />
