The Dalles City Councilors gave instructions to the municipal planning commission on where to proceed on how to deal with the costs of residential infill development, including the immediate elimination of current waivers of non-remonstrance on local improvement districts.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says that is important because it simply “sticks in the craw” of some landowners, and they keep hearing the waivers are impeding the ability to sell properties.  Other instructions to the planning panel included developing a network of key streets that would be subject to full improvement, creating a possible cap on the amount that could be charged to a residential property owner, and make storm water systems the City’s responsibility.
