P. Wade, representing the Martinsville-Henry County Homebuilders Association, <br /> <br />appeared before Council and expressed the opinion that, with the recent increasing <br /> <br />of water and sewer connection fees (along with the additional cost on developers <br /> <br />resulting from the foregoing revision of the subdivision ordinance), there will <br /> <br />now be more cost burden upon homebuilders in Martinsville than can be financed by <br /> <br />potential home buyers in the low-to-medium price category, consequently diminishing <br /> <br />the market for such homes and forcing the development of more low-income rental <br /> <br />properties. Mr. Wade explained that his group did not officially oppose either <br /> <br />the incres,se in utility connection fees or the shifting of cost burden brought <br /> <br />about by the subdivision ordinance amendment on the assumption that both increases <br /> <br />would not become effective ~t the same time; however, the effecting of these <br /> <br />increases along with high-interest mortgage rates, and with no probability of <br />
