<br />Commissioner Macht urged the Board to take into consideration a pending <br />transaction at the industrial park and how the imposition of impact fees might have a negative <br />affect on it. <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger stated that no one denies we need impact fees. He <br />accepted on faith what our expert had said. He suggested the impact fees be implemented slowly <br />and the Board should come to a consensus on lowering the number. <br />County Administrator Baird cautioned that if the Board decides to discount the fees <br />more than 15%, we will have to recover those funds another way or postpone the implementation <br />of roadways. He then gave them examples of deeper discounts and the resulting impact fees. <br />Extensive discussion ensued. <br />Renee Renzi <br />, Waverly Place, suggested the Board think about capturing some sort <br />of fee on the land “flips”. <br />County Attorney Collins responded that, by law, they cannot do that; it had been <br />proposed at state level but never passed. <br />Ms. Renzi <br /> then suggested that the Commissioners support this at state level. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Neuberger, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously tabled <br />this to their next meeting (May 18) for more information <br />and discussion. <br /> <br />9.B.1. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - BRIAN T. HEADY – <br />IMPOSITION OF IMPACT FEES <br /> <br />Brian Heady <br />, Vero Beach, did not speak on this topic but expounded on his <br />complaint that if the Chairman does not like what he has to say, he is told to step down. <br />May 11, 2004 15 <br /> <br />
