SUBJECT: NEW HIGHWAY FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT COST CHARGE BYLAW
(Public Works Committee Meeting of July 6, 1993)

RECOMMENDATION:

That Council rescind the third reading of the Highway Facilities Development Cost Charge
Bylaw #2739 and adopt the third reading to Highway Facilities Development Cost Charge
Bylaw #2739 with the revised charges for Areas 1 and 2 as shown in the attached Schedule A.

BACKGROUND & COMMENTS:

At the December 7, 1992 regular Council meeting, Council gave three readings to four
Development Cost Charge Bylaw - Water, Drainage, Highway Facilities and Sewage. These
bylaws were forwarded to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs for review ana approval.

The Ministry has recently reviewed the Development Cost Charge Bylaws and has made several
comments and suggested changes with regards to population forecasts, housing densities, and
cost calculations.

It appears that the water, drainage and sewage Development Cost Charge Bylaws would be
approved by Municipal Affairs without major changes.

The Highway Facilities Developrnent Cost Charge Bylaw would have several changes in the
calculations for the area charges with new Highway Facilities charges for Area 1 & 2 as shown
on the attached Schedule A.

The main reason for these changes is that the original Development Cost Charg-. Bylaw assumed
that there would be a 50% cost sharing grant from the Ministry of Highways for the Loughze
Connector and the Lincoln Bridge. It now appears that the City would not be receiving these
grants and the full cost of these projects are inciuded in the revised fees.

Attached is a revised report on Development Cost Charges dated July 1993 incorporating the
additional costs for these Highway projects plus a copy of che Highway Facilities Development
Cost Charge Bylaw #2739 with the revised Schedule A.

It is recommended that Council rescind the third reading to the original Bylaw #2739 and give
third reading to the new Bylaw #2739 with the revised Schedule A at this time so that the
Development Cost Charge Bylaws can be adopted as soon as Municipal Affairs’ approval is
received.
