on local spending patterns and is used to establish the costs of existing services
for a new development. The basic premise of this method is that current
revenue/cost ratios per person and per unit is a potential indicator of future
revenue/cost impacts occasioned by growth. New capital expenditures required
for provision of services to a development are not added to current costs;
instead, the present debt service for previous improvements is included to
represent ongoing capital projects. The advantage of this approach is its

Budgets

The City's most recent budget totals $270,319,074. The Education Department,
along with Police and Fire, are some of the largest Departments in the City.

Fiscal Impact Analysis by Fougere Planning & Development

Section 5 — Closing/Summary

The John Flatley Company has filed paperwork with the Nashua Board of Alderman to
have approximately 31.55 acres of land re-zoned to RC from Park Industrial (PI). A
portion of this area is within the already developed Tara Heights Apartments. This
zoning change will leave over 248 acres of PI land available within Gateway Hills for PI-

zoned uses.

Development building due to the fact that peak traffic flow for the proposed housing is
OPPOSITE the predominant flow of traffic into/out of Gateway Hills. In addition, there will be
130 LESS trips leaving the site in the afternoon. In layman’s terms. there will be NO traffic
impact as a result of this zoning change and future project. All of that said, should the Planning
Board, during the site plan process, request that the John Flatley Company either improve Spit
Brook Road or contribute to the City’s aforementioned D.W. Highway/Spit Brook Road traffic
