The voters decided (or we thought we decided) this whole issue in the last election.
By booting out the Developer's puppets and voting in the EMS team, we overwhelmingly voted to increase impact fees and use the revenue to roll back the 25% property-tax increase. How much it can be rolled back (maybe even more than 100%) will depend on the findings of the impact-fee study on infrastructure costs in addition to road costs.
The Developer (and his supporters on this site) are trying to undo the election results.
