Park Fees
Michael Harrietty raised the question of raising park fees to $3,000.00 per lot. Harrietty
stated that it is more in line with the request for 7% of land or cash in lieu of land,
considering what land is worth these days. The subdivision ordinance would need to be
amended. Dave Hebert will get some research on park fees.
