Councilmember Martin questioned if a landowner of property wanted to build three homes, does it <br />qualify as a development? Planning and Development Director Tim Tietjens responded it is written in <br />the ordinance for parkland provisions for a single unit or above. Councilmember Martin commented he <br />would like to see a different level for single family homes. Councilmember Martin asked how much <br />funds for parks are in each district in the City. Parks and Recreation Director Rosalyn Epting advised <br />she will get the information for City Council. <br /> <br />Planning and Development Director Tim Tietjens asked Council at what level would they be <br />comfortable with the number of units being defined as a subdivision. Mr. Tietjens informed it is <br />presently defined as 1 through 92. <br /> <br />Councilmember Leonard asked if there is a state-wide definition for a subdivision. Mr. Tietjens <br />responded yes, two or more contiguous lots. <br /> <br />Mayor Rigby questioned if the fee of $808.00 per unit built or per lot. Mr. Tietjens responded per unit <br />accessed at the time of permitting construction. Mr. Tietjens informed a legal subdivision is two or <br />more lots; and if it is not a plat, it is not a subdivision. Mr. Tietjens clarified when you build one home on <br />a 5-acres tract, the fee is $808.00; and if 5 homes are built on 5 acres, the fee is $808.00 times 5. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zemanek commented if a home is being built for resale, the fees should apply. <br /> <br />Council directed Planning and Development Director Tim Tietjens to draft an Ordinance addressing two <br />or more contiguous lots. <br /> <br />9.
