Construction and Financing Costs) was absent and did not submit.a report for

Chairman Barnes wanted the subcommittees to acquire as much backup data as
possible for their respective Study Area reports and to make this data avail-
able at attachments to their reports. This data could be presented in rou§h
form and need not be typed.
Discussion centerdd on how to give the developer cost breaks as it related to
City Building Department fees and it was suggested by Councilman Hunt that if
building permit fees were not paid by the developer until the house occupancy
permit was granted, interest costs paid out by the developer could be eliminated.
Further discussion took place of, whether the climate in Plymouth was favorable
for medium or high rise apartment construction. Councilman Neils believed
that large savings would result by the development of high rise apartments
since utilities and street costs would be reduced substantially.
Chairman Barnes urged Study Area Subcommittees to get together in groups so that
more finalized reports could be ready by May 21st or at such time as the next
meeting in May is held.
