THE PLAT SHALL BE RECORDED AND FEES PAID PRIOR TO RELEASE OF THE BUILDING PERMIT. 5. BUILDING PERMIT SHALL NOT BE ISSUED UNTIL THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN PLATTED. 6.

Councilmember Westgaard and Mayor Dietz suggested continuing this item in order to give the city attorney time to review the payment option. Councilmember Westgaard stated for this specific situation he is open to looking at payment options but didn't want to make a habit of allowing people to plat property the ability to spread out their park dedication and storm water fees over the course of four to five years. He stated he is not comfortable voting on this motion without attorney review. Mayor Dietz further expressed concern with treating business different form each other and with establishing a precedent. He stated he is open to three to four years for spreading out payments,but five years is too long. Councilmember Motin withdrew his motion and the seconder was amendable to the withdrawn motion. Mr. Beck stated the number of years can be determined later but suggested a resolution of approval that lays out the conditions so there would be no misunderstandings. He stated this option would be unusual but he could also review other options and bring them back to Council for a policy consideration. He further stated the resolution would be recordable. MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER WESTGAARD AND SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER BURANDT TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM TO FEBRUARY 4, 2013, WITH DIRECTION TO STAFF TO PREPARE A RESOLUTION OF APPROVAL, IF LEGALLY ALLOWED, FOR MAKING PAYMENTS OVER A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS. Councilmember Motin stated this is a unique situation and he doesn't want to set a precedent. Council consensus is to include a condition that the fees be paid in full before the building permit is issued for the main building expansion. MOTION CARRIED 4-0.
