';~in'3nC~J the irnprol/,3m'~""n';~s (p. 36J. 7. F'<:JI'k dBdlca-rions in ArcG" Hi lis are based on I-a\<! ~and '1"altH:;'; and cc:,; at~>) tH) wszd of-or ponding ore cover storm sower requirements. " ~ . There Is an error on p. 42 - Arden Hi 115 dOBS not require underground parking for any bui Idlng. 9. On p. 44 the report states that ~any co~munlties have re- quirements that are more stringent than the U.B.C. This j s ii' 8gal . to. We sgrsB that amenities are usually less costly if Installed initially Cpo 46) - This Is why some municipal costs are Increased. . ! I. Pages 45-56 sho~ that increased fees and costs of public Improvements are more dictated by the State government than by local government. The table on p. 54 shows that most fees are set or suggested by the State (even building permits and plan checks are). The proliferation of agencies which a bui Ider must deal with is due to State, not munlci- p~l, regulation, 12. The delays that a bui Ider must endure are not long In Arden Hi lis insofar as they are chargeable to the City government. 13. Va,lances for excellence in land use concepts 6re granted by most municipalities, and It is the,efore incor,ect to read an ordinance which states that lots must be 11,000 sq. ft. and assume that this Is in fact the smallest lot size in the municipality. 14. The report Ignores the fact that many communities, such as Arden Hi lis, ha vo a! lowed the d(we I apment c f townhouses, mob!le home courts and other design concepts whiCh reduce the requirements below those that have beGn considered in the report. C. ~lany figures ara elCerpted from sources which could have derived them from fact, fancy or dreams. From the report, one can often not determine if the reSOI!rCe has any va'idl~y beyond opinion. A few factual distortions are evident however: The median lot requirement In the metro aree Is 9500 sq. ft. I. (p. 42), yet tho Appendix study concernl~g s~vin~s with smaller lots (p. IGO) concerned a redUCTion In size from 11,000 sq. ft. ',.0 1,500 sq. i'L !dso, i I iustrations on p. 43 were of a magnitude of change which ~ould appear to be irrelevant to the median municipality. . 2. The tables sho.lng minimum lo~ requirements of varlo~s cities (p. 39) took break poInts which maximize the effect wanted. A break point of 5001 to 8000 etc.. one foot different, could show an altered result. 3. The 15,000 sq. ft. used in tho last paragraph o~ p. 319d appears to be an error - <It leasi' 14,000 sq. ft. wou produce a similar percentage. BE IT THEREFORE FURTHER RESOLVED that the Arden Hi I Is Councl I requests that before a change of this ~ag~ltu~~.is ma~e,_where the Metropol I tan ~ouncl I can force change In TradiTional :ocal matters, not only must a continuing need be present, but alse The ~hanges must satisfy the need and not produce onerous results in another area. I t has not been shown that many of the Hous I ng Rep'Jrt racmomendat I enS fulfill these, criteria. -.2-
