There have been fewer incentives for property owners to improve the streets via the LID route and very limited funds available on either the local,state or federal level,provide these improvements. He said they recognized this ordinance places the burden on the developer. It also establishes a broad Policy for the overall city and when a certain area is developed,then hopefully a special ordinance would be prepared for,at particular street as under item 20 on today's agenda which refers to Casino Road improvements. Councilman Michelson asked if this ordinance applies to fronting streets or wi,in the development and Air.Henning replied under,is ordinance the developer would have to contribute toward the improvement of the street fronting his particular development. Councilman Overstreet asked what the developers felt about the proposed ordinance and Mr.Henning replied that several developers had been very supportive of it. Most of the thgative comments are coming from developers who are asking if they developed a block that was in an area that had no sidewalks ox paved streets etc.would they still have to improve the street fronting on their development.
