<br /> <br />Guy Barber <br />, 2050 Highlands Drive SW, expounded that the taxpayer is paying for growth <br />through taxes. <br />Commissioner Wheeler addressed Mr. Barber’s comments. <br />Joseph Paladin <br /> supported SB 360 and staff’s recommendation. He thought staff had done <br />a real good job. <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, thought a definition of “a credit” was needed. <br />County Administrator Baird responded that the impact fee credit is based on a formula. He <br />specified that this ordinance concerns only roads and not schools. <br />Director Keating explained the pending ordinance’s role in Mark Brackett’s development <br />and that the proportionate fair share ordinance would be used when a roadway is a deficient link <br />and not in the 5 year Capital Improvement Plan. <br />th <br />Ruth Stanbridge, <br /> 4835 66 Avenue, asked if the developer is also going to be paying for <br />the purchase of the rights-of-way. She was concerned that property of homeowners would be <br />taken to the point of “wiping out” homes. She feared that growth would take over family <br />neighborhoods. <br />Director Keating responded that right-of-way acquisition is included in the formula. <br />Bob Swift <br />, 6400 block of Glendale Road, stated that approval of this would not require the <br />Board to approve any project but it would make another tool available to solve problems and put <br />infrastructure in when growth occurs. It also would allow the County to collect the impact fees <br />before the development occurs. He encouraged the Board to adopt it. He also encouraged them to <br />amend the pending ordinance to allow a project that has no concurrency problems to move ahead. <br />At the request of Commissioner Davis, Director Keating explained the pending ordinance <br />would still be an issue if a project does not have a deficient link because they cannot be vested up <br />front. He added that after the Proportionate Fair Share Ordinance is passed, a development that <br />has a deficient link can pay a fee and get vested and the ones that do not have a deficient link <br />cannot get vested up front. <br />April 11, 2006 13 <br /> <br />
