on the other meetings held on this issue. There was a TIF Board meeting held Friday April 17 (day

Charles Cryan.
Mr. Cryan explained the differences between the numbers presented to the Commission at the April 16
meeting and the actual occurrences. He stated that there are timing differences between when the
increment. funds are actually available. The City requests and actually receives the increment a .full year
after the value is assessed.. This means the value assessed as of January 1, 1997 will not actually be
billable or receivable by the City until March 1998. Mr. Cryan explained that participation was not
.requested.. from the school or county for the first two years.
Mr. Cryan'; stated. that the. percent tax .rate that Mr. Clarke presented to the Commission was
substantially higher than the actual rate. Thee school district chose to utilize only its "local assignment
rate" wluchl, is 86 cents per $100 valuation as opposed to its total rate of $1.74. The local assignment
rate becomes available an additional year later than the other increment revenues.

225
Assistant City Engineer. Morgan presented the .staff report and stated that a preliminary plat was
previously approved for this area in May 1998 which consisted of three lots and an .access easement
from University Drive to Lincoln Avenue. The preliminary plat was .approved by the .Commission and
Council with several conditions, some related to access onto University Drive, some
floodplain/floodway conditions,. and buffer'conditions among others: After additional research and cost
estimates were completed for the May 1.:998 plat, the applicant decided that the access easements.
crossing the creek was cost prohibitive. Therefore the preliminary plat was revised to include. only a
single lot and a reserve tract. The plat was revised for this new submittal. The applicant has made all
corrections and .modifications as requested .from the original plat as well as ..additional.. review comments
made: during. the' staff review of this new plat configuration. With the new configuration, the reserve
tract .will be preliminary or final platted (whichever is applicable). once more definitive development
plans for that area are known. Channel improvements are being done with the final plat of lot l but are
not .being contemplated the entire length of the creek to the structure under Lincoln/CTniversity.
Because of this approach to improve the channel only 1/2 of the distance through: the .property,
additional channel improvements maybe warranted at the time of final platting of the reserve tract.
The final plat consists of only the 2.0 acre lot. There are several offsite easements that will be necessary
for infrastructure. extensions for.Lot 1, Block L They areas follows:.
Detention`will be handled for Lot 1, Block 1 within a private drainage easement located on the
reserve tract. and will be maintained. by Bert Wheeler, Inc., the subdivider of the property.
As part of the final plat, an entrance drive to University Drive will be constructed and an
additional 15' access easement adjacent to Lot 1 will be'necessary to construct this drive.
If a public>drainage easement is to be dedicated on the improved portion of the creek, the 30'
public access easement will need to be extended to the creek and the design such that
maintenance vehicles can. get to thee., creek.
Staff recommend approval of the preliminary plat and final plat as submitted with the condition that all
separate instrument easements. are conveyed concurrent with the. filing of 'the final plat or prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy for structures on Lot 1, Block L
Stewart Kling, Project Engineer, told the Commission that he was present. to answer any questions
