Roadways serving the proposed development shall be determined adequate according to City engineering standards to handle the additional traffic generated by the proposed development or a financial commitment shall be made by the developer to upgrade said roadway(s). Council Member Bergeson asked who would make the determination that these criteria are met. Mr. Wessel indicated that Staff would conduct initial review, and present its findings to Council for final decision. Council Member Lyden asked if criterion No. 11 would cause a developer to be held responsible for financing road reconstruction above and beyond the amount allowed by Statute 429. Attorney Hawkins responded no. Council Member Kuether raised the issue of who would interpret a standard as its application arises. Council Member Lyden suggested that this matter be tabled until the criteria could be further evaluated. Council Member Bergeson requested clarification of criterion No. 12. Council Member Kuether explained that the allocation would not be cumulative; if not used, the entire allocation would not be carried over into the next period. Council Member Lyden expressed concern regarding establishment of a MUSA Reserve. Mayor Landers asked if a public hearing would be required for allocation of MUSA reserve. Mr. Hawkins stated that a public hearing regarding allocation of MUSA would be coupled with a rezoning request, but would not occur automatically. Mayor Landers indicated that a separate public hearing should be held with respect to allocation of MUSA. 111
