Proportionate Share (PDF 1 Mb)
The proportionate share ordinance is currently up for adoption. The ordinance changes portions of the Land Development Code dealing with develop, allowing clauses throughout the code for potential developers to ask the town of McIntosh to help foot the bill to bring roads up to acceptable levels to account for growth.
As explained to the LPA by planner Bruce Day, the proportionate share is state-mandated but other communities -- as well as the Marion County Commissioners -- have rejected proportionate share proposals. Day said there was a clause in the ordinance that would allow future councils to opt out of paying the town's share, if it were asked.
