UNFINISHED BUSINESS
8a. Letter from Jared Carter and Associates - Re~ardin~ Jeter Deposit
The City Manager noted the reports from staff that address Council's questions
from the last City Council Meeting.
The Planning Director explained that the Engineering Department has performed
preliminary designs on the storm drain system for Orchard Avenue. Further, he
noted that the Senior Citizens were granted a building permit to add two
restroom facilities to their existing building and to pave the unimproved rear
portion of their property. No requirement was placed on the Senior Citizens
to pay for off-site drainage as the improvements were minor and because the
City has no legal basis upon which to collect or require fees thereof.
Councilmember Hickey discussed the reasons for asking for Mr. Jeter's deposit;
that any additional paving in the area would cause more run-off. He believes
the Senior Citizen's additional paving should constitute the same.

imposed upon a developer.

projects. He noted that paving does not require a building permit.
