Impact reductions granted under this <br />methodology document may be used in subsequent phases of a development when the <br />applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that the program or <br />improvements continue to provide the anticipated reduction in demand, and the City has <br />received assurances or agreements from the developer, owner, and owners successors, <br />as approved by the City Engineer as is necessary to ensure that the program or facility <br />will continue to function as planned for the agreed upon time period. Changes to the <br />mitigated program or facility attributable to the connection of an additional phase which <br />results in any deviation from the previously determined impact reduction will be adjusted <br />proportionately. <br />7.4.2 Application for Credit Based on Construction of Public Improvements <br />For credits derived from the construction of public improvements, the property owner(s) <br />will be notified in writing about potential credit availability, subsequent to the approval and <br />bonding of the construction plans.

All eligible lots or building <br />sites will be identified, and the credit will be distributed in an equal amount to each of <br />these eligible lots or building sites. Credit applied under this policy will not be eligible to <br />be appealed. Development for which a building permit is issued prior to administration of <br />credit disbursal or approval by City staff will not be considered eligible for credit <br />distribution. <br />7.4.4 Changes to An Approved Credit Application <br />City of Eugene SDC Methodology.
