Commission reaffirms trip-based ERU method for Tioga Phase 22 MSBU after developer requests lot-size split
Summary
After discussion about apportionment methods, the commission directed staff to keep the established trip-generation ERU approach for the Town of Tioga Phase 22 MSBU; a developer request for a 60/40 split between large and small lots was debated and declined in favor of a defendable, uniform county method.
The county heard a presentation from an Accenture consultant on the Town of Tioga Phase 22 special improvement district apportionment methodology and the staff recommendation to use an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU) approach based on trip generation for single-family residential parcels.
The developer representative proposed a 60/40 split so larger lots would pay more and smaller lots less, arguing different lot sizes and lifestyles justify differential charges. Consultant Sandy Newbarth and county staff said national trip-generation statistics and administrability favor a uniform ERU per single-family lot in this residential context because single-family trip rates are broadly similar and the county needs a defendable, uniform method.
After public comment and commissioner discussion about uniformity and potential countywide precedent, the board voted to reaffirm the established ERU/trip-based method for MSBU apportionment rather than accept the developer-proposed split.
