should be collected when the building permit is issued. Commissioner
LaBelle noted that this was the first approach he had seen that would
provide funds for parks and park development. Commissioner Sittauer
was not sure $250 was enough and Commissioner Hall suggested $500, but
Commissioner Ross felt the only equitable way would be to base it on
percentage and he suggested .5%. Mr.. Herzberg responded that all of
the prices on the building permits would be dropped by that percentage.
City Attorney.John Wallace commented that dedication of land does not
always fit in with proposed park lands so you can justify taking money
in lieu of the land. He said you can charge the new people coming in
because you have a certain capital base that the people in the town
already have been paying. Further; that the impact comes from people,
not from the value of the house; e.g., two people in a $50,000-house
impact the facilities as much as two people in a $100,000 house.

driveway was excessive but by moving one unit slightly the angle of the
driveway will be made more gradual. Cuts in one area may require some
rockery. Mrs. Block indicated that this proposal would leave the slopes
generally undisturbed and retains almost all of the large trees. She
felt a standard development would be much more damaging to the site if
developed near the comparable density. A negative environmental declaration
had been made as the Staff felt the development should not have a significant
adverse environmental impact if the road and first single unit were moved,
as proposed by the applicant. Mrs. Block recommended approval with the
changes regarding the relocation of one unit and the road. The Staff felt
this was the best type of development for a site such as this as it would
preserve the natural features, would be compatible with the surrounding
-uses, and should provide for a high quality living environment for future
purchasers. The public portion of the hearing was,opened.
