Amy stated that the planning commission worked on it and recommended it to the council. Amy explained that the master planned community is a tool you can use for different development and works in conjunction with a rezone. The zone has to be 10 acres and open spaces if you want it or you can do a fee instead of the open space, they have to have a site plan. It's a contract between the town and developer. The town has all the control with this ordinance. Councilmember Goodliffe stated that some parts say town council and others say city council, Amy stated she will change it all to say town council. Councilmember Goodliffe asked about appendix A-Item 14-b Reserved legislative powers, the developer and town public safety. Amy stated it's a balancing act, but the developer has vista rights also but the town still has the ability to do make sure of public safety. Councilmember Goodliffe asked about appendix A item 16 specific acts of default- regarding the forfeit of any fees or deposits. Amy stated that won't be an issue and you wouldn't outline it there. Councilmember Goodliffe asked if it should state that in this contract. Amy said she will add it at the bottom of 16 to state any fees paid to the point of termination shall be non-refundable. Councilmember Hardy asked about the language in the ordinance, Amy stated that every ordinance she has wrote all has the same language. Councilmember Hardy stated that its real vague Amy stated it was supposed to be that way. Councilmember Goodliffe made a motion to adopt ordinance 2022-007 with the changes.
