Janice,
The policy change that the City Council will consider is to
discontinue financing/assessing improvements within a subdivision.
Developers of land would now be required to finance those internal
improvements either with their own finances or through a bank. The City
Council will still retain their right to assess/finance, if they choose,
but it should no longer be taken for granted.
The access fee of $17,000 per acre or $10,000 per lot (that
existed prior to 10/01/01) is to cover the costs of extending water and
sewer up to the development. Those fees will remain in place for the
Phillips property.
I would be interested to see any newly exposed springs. It is
in the interest of the developer, city, and the ecology, as well as any
future homeowner to know and avoid those locations.
Keith Nelson
Director of Public Works
City of Winona

The article in todays paper regarding the City not using the taxpayers
money to
pay for develpment cost that should be the developers responsibility
sparks my
interest. I am wondering if any of the City Managers who follow WOD can
tell
me what affect this may have on a development such as Phillips out in
Wilson
Township. The City has already mentioned an assessment fee of $17,000
per
acre, will this be affected if the City Council votes to change it's
strategy
on paying for developments?
Also, Probably to the same group of folks. I understand that several
new
springs have sprung on the Phillips property recently after heavy rains.
I
have heard that they are on the latest "buildable acreage". I am
curious and
would like to educate myself on how something like this gets missed when
studies are being done. I would think these springs must have been very
close
to the surface to have shown up after heavy rains. Who's responsibility
would
this fall on to report these prior to development, developer, developers
engineer, city inspectors? Who would report them after a development
plot has
been made and who follows up? What happens then? Thanks Janice Turek
