87 <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer indicated he would do that. <br /> <br /> There was no further discussion on this item. <br /> <br /> Item 8f <br /> Definitions to be used in connection with Growth Manaqement <br /> Allocations (SR92:406) <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer presented his definition of backlog. Approximately <br />4,000 units were approved from 1980 to 1997, an 18 year period. <br />Any housing unit which received growth management approval from <br />1980 through 1991, but has not been built during that period, would <br />be in "backlog". For example, if something was approved in 1989 <br />and not built in 1989 and has not been built, it sits in "backlog". <br />If it is projected for 1995 to be built, it is not "backlog"; it is <br />in the future. Mr. Mercer also believed that any house under <br />construction today is not "backlog". Therefore, any approved units <br />from 1980 to 1991, but not built, are to be considered "backlog". <br />The year 1992 is current and not "backlog". From 1993 to 1997 is <br />future, not "backlog". <br /> <br /> Mr. Mercer further elaborated that "projects" receive growth <br /> management approval and if any part of a project is under <br /> construction, the units in that project are not "backlog" because <br /> it may take years to build out a project. For example, Kottinger <br /> Ranch is shown as having 215 houses. There are not 215 under <br /> construction, perhaps only ten at this time. The units in such <br /> projects, which will take years to build out, total 964 units. <br /> There is still to be built from 1993 forward a total of 2,864 <br /> units. The "backlog" is really only 233 houses. The "backlog" is <br /> those houses which have received approval from 1980 to 1991 but <br /> were never built. He then read the list of units on backlog. <br /> <br /> The rest of the units are either in the future or those in <br /> projects under construction (964 units). <br /> <br /> Since 1976 there has been growth management under various <br /> names and with numerous changes. What has never been done is to <br /> define what backlog is. Mr. Mercer felt it was important for the <br /> public to understand that these are units that were approved from <br /> 1980 through 1997 and these 4,000 units average out to 226 per <br /> year. <br /> <br /> Ms. Scribner had no problem with the definition. Anything <br /> that is behind is "backlog". In business, what is not delivered is <br /> "back ordered". The same thing goes for what has received growth <br /> management and is in the future. <br /> <br /> Ms. Mohr believed that the distinction of projects in the <br /> future is important.
