1). Special Assessment of Hunters Pass 2 "d Addition Park Dedication Fees
Couri stated the resolution allows the City to collect park dedication fees on 11 of
the 12 Hunters Pass 2nd Addition lots no later than December 2015. One property
has already paid the $3,300 park dedication fee when the owner applied for a
building permit.
Couri stated that as building permits are applied for in 2014, the owner will be
required to pay the City the park dedication amount due on the lot. For those lots
where the special assessment is paid in 2014, the City will inform the County of
such payment and the special assessment will be removed from the County's
records. For those lots with unpaid special assessments remaining after December
31, 2014, the County will collect the $3,300 special assessment with the 2015
property tax payments and the City will no longer collect the park dedication fee on
the lots with the building permit application. Per the terms of the City's previous
approval of this arrangement, the assessment bears no interest. This arrangement
has been memorialized into the developer's agreement.
Motioned by Sorensen, seconded by Olson, to adopt Resolution No. 2014 -020
Adopting Assessments for Park Dedication Fees on Hunters Pass 2"d Addition
Lots. Ayes: Hendrickson, Olson, Sorensen, Vetsch, and Wagner. Nays: None.
