The Consent Calendar Item provided for passage of Ordinance 2206, imposing an assessment against certain properties in the city for the purpose of defray- ing the costs of the Kent Valley Studies program. A letter was read from Mr . Uhrich, a copy of which has been filed as a part of the record. Mr. Uhrich objected to the proposed ordinance which would impose a charge of not more than $130 per acre. He stated that it had been originally agreed that the property owners would share the costs of the studies with the city. Upon Mooney' s question, Mirk stated that the IPP ordinance stated that the owner would bear costs directly relating to the owner ' s proposed development, and that the city and the owner would jointly share the costs of the studies relating to the owner ' s proposed development as it relates to other areas which may be affected or impacted by the owner ' s development. Mirk further noted that the easiest way to com- pute the amounts was to divide the cost of the studies by the areas which were the target of the studies, and that the "not more than $130 per acre" was the city' s suggestion. In answer to Mooney' s question, Mirk noted that it was the city' s original intent to share jointly in the costs and that the city could still elect to do this. Moonev noted that an EIS would cost approxi- mately $55, 000 additional . Mirk noted that this should logically be a part of the cost of the studies, except for those who had already signed contracts. 9 - I I --anuary 21 , 1980 KENT VALLEY Carey stated that it was c:i.ear to him that the STUDIES only reference to jointly sharing the costs PROGRAM was relating to the owner ' s proposed develop- ment as it relates to other areas which may be affected or impacted by the owner ' s development.
