He questioned the legal <br /> interpretation of park dedication requirements. He stated that it is important to collect park <br /> dedication fees. <br /> Steve Rohg representing the applicant-Stated the phases of the project may change. He <br /> questioned the definition of cut-off lighting.Mr.Rohlf stated the existing dealership should <br /> not pay park dedication fees as consistent with Section 30-327 of the City Code,which states <br /> that park dedication fees apply to undeveloped property. He stated the city is confusing <br /> undeveloped with unplatted. He stated the property is not being subdivided but rather <br /> combined. He stated the only reason they are platting the property is because it is a <br /> condition to secure a building permit He stated to charge in excess of$100,000 for park <br /> dedication fees to a business trying to expand and create more jobs is unreasonable. <br /> Mr.Harlicker explained that cut-off lighting directs light downward as opposed to a globe <br /> light,which is exposed. <br /> • Mayor HIinzing closed the public hearing. <br />
