Commissioner O'Bryan would not accept some of the proposals. Commissioners <br />Wheeler and Flescher wanted to move forward, and there was consensus that Mr. Mensing <br />would make his contacts, while the Board take no action. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Motion carried unanimously. The Board approved <br />staff's recommendation for Option 1, to take no <br />action. <br />14. COMMISSIONERS ITEMS <br />A. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS, CHAIRMAN <br />1. Two YEAR MORATORIUM FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL IMPACT FEES <br />Chairman Davis, following up from discussions at the recent Economic Summit <br />in Sebastian, submitted a proposal for Board consideration and approval of a two-year <br />moratorium on all non-residential impact fees. <br />Attorney Collins explained the difficulties of charging impact fees for residential <br />projects but not for commercial or industrial, by pointing out the fairness factors involved. <br />The Board had lengthy and in-depth discussions which involved the fairness and <br />legality of the proposal; the need to have another workshop to discuss the ideas, suggestions and <br />opinions brought out today; the urgent need to act now; inconsistency in the formula that is used <br />to determine impact fees for commercial properties; and the impact fee regulations and whether <br />or not it is justified. <br />February 17, 2009 37 <br />
