V. Discussion Regarding Single-Family Detached Residential Development Fees Director Simmons provided an overview of single-family detached residential development fees for certain vacant lots within the Village,
Kim Meier, KLM Builders, provided information on his firm and the types of homes they specialize in building for communities like the Village of Cary. Mr. Meyer stated there is a growing market need for empty-nesters and retirees. As such, the impact fees for taxing bodies such as the school district are a cost to developers that do not provide a useful benefit to the purchaser. Mr. Meyer asked the Village Board to consider reducing development fees.
Trustees McAlpine, Kraus, Betz, Weinhammer and Collier stated they are supportive of the reduction of development fees. Trustee Covelli stated she is supportive of the reduction of development fees but would like to have input from the other taxing bodies.
