3. PRESENTATIONS <br />A. STAFF OVERVIEW <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating reminded the Board that at its last <br />Impact Fee meeting in May, many questions had come up, related to the traffic impact fee <br />portion of the Duncan Report and to how certain traffic characteristics are treated from an impact <br />fee perspective. Other issues were "trip chaining" (when someone leaves one destination and <br />makes several stops before arriving at a final destination); and specific types of uses like "branch <br />banks" and how it affects travel demands and how impact fees relate to that. <br />Director Keating reminded the Board of prior discussions and/or concerns that <br />commercial uses were charged too high an impact fee compared to residential uses, and the <br />subsequent consensus to have a Workshop that would focus on some of the concerns from the <br />May Workshop, and not on the Impact Fee Report, per se. Consequently staff had sought <br />approval from the Board to retain a Traffic Consultant and also to extend the contract of our <br />Impact Fee Consultant. He announced that Duncan & Associates would present its report <br />followed by Leftwich Consulting Engineers, Inc. <br />3.B. IMPACT FEE CONSULTANT PRESENTATION <br />Clancy Mullen, Duncan & Associates, stated that the focus of today's joint <br />presentation would be the non-residential traffic fees. The three (3) main points for discussion <br />were: (1) the pass-bys/drive-thru bank (to be addressed by Leftwich Consultants); (2) whether or <br />not the proposed fees are high for non-residential relative to residential; and (3) methodologies <br />used by different counties, some of which have resulted in very low fees for non-residential <br />compared to residential. <br />September 17, 2008 2 <br />Public Workshop <br />
