Condition #19: Amended to reflect what I read earlier, comments. Okay, 19A will now read: "A memorandum of understanding shall be signed between the MDOT and the subdivider prior to final plat approval regarding improvements to the intersection of South Fork Road and Highway 64, strike the next sentence and then in the last sentence: "Applicant shall participate and add the word (proportionately) in improvements as deemed appropriate by MDOT", all the rest shall stay the same. And then I would suggest, under
covenants on #25 to add placeholder language that: The applicant shall pay any impact fees applicable under policy at the time, comments.
10:51:57 AM Deputy County Attorney Greg Sullivan Stated suggested language for covenant stated above to read as follows: "Subdivision applicants should be advised that Gallatin County is currently in the process of revising it's impact fee policies. In the past, impact fees have been a condition of preliminary plat approval, due at the time of final plat submittal. The new policy, to be adopted in the near future, anticipates charging impact fees at the time of construction. It is the landowner's responsibility to determine if an impact fee is required.
10:52:39 AM Commissioner Murdock Okay, then strike my language and insert that language as a new condition, comments.
