be moved further south and west in areas currently designated for single family units. The neighbors are not fully aware of this possibility , d) The site has, as John Shardlow indicated, a number of low wetland areas, a 12 acre park, and some unknown soil problems including organic soils unsuitable for foundations, unspecified construction debris and street sweepings (considered hazardous waste by PCA). In addition, the site has some of its best woodlands adjacent to the residential areas, These woodlands would have to be cut or graded severely to accommodate some of the development. e) County and railroad approvals must be obtained for some of the access points. 1) Some housing outlots along Owassso mayor may not be available to redevelop as part of the site. This would be left to the developers. g) The Concept Plan was based on a 3 year old Maxfield market study, but the Concept was also explained that the city hoped to see single family homes from $250,000 to $350,000 and townhouses in the $150,000 range. h) The exact city role and the financial guarantee requirements, as wel1 as the cost of city construction of infrastructure was not clear to the developers. Since then I have leamed that we (the City) have no strict guidelines, but use 125% as the most common guarantee. It is also unclear to the developers what the housing/neighborhood rehabi1itation fee may be. (Our original staff discussion suggested $5,000 per single family lot and $3,000 per townhouse Jot, but a 50% reduction in those fees seemed more appropriate, Le, $2,500 and $1,500, respectively,) i) The City was also asked to prepare a cost (per lot or per lineal foot) for the construction of public improvements. Without more finite soil borings, subdivision design and the number of p811icipating owners, this wiJ) be nothing more than a guess. This number can be best provided when working directly with the developer on the final subdivision designs.
