MAR 111981 "80% 46 PAGE '42 MR. ROBBINS REPORTED THAT THE DER HAS INDICATED THAT AS LONG AS WE PROCEED ALONG NORMAL PERMITTING CHANNELS, THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH A LINE ACROSS THE RIVER FROM OSLO ROAD. HE CONTINUED THAT THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF $200 PER FOOT FOR SUB -AQUEOUS CAME FROM A VERY LARGE RECOGNIZED COMPANY THAT DOES THESE TYPE OF CROSSINGS, AND HE HAS ANOTHER QUOTE OF $150 PER FOOT FROM A FORT LAUDERDALE FIRM. MR. ROBBINS STATED THAT HE MADE A PRESUMPTION BASED ON THE PRESENT RATE STRUCTURE OF A BILL OF $25.00 A MONTH BASED ON A USE OF 7,000- 9,000 GALLONS PER MONTH, AND CONSUMPTION IN THE SOUTH BEACH AREA IS AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN THAT, CITY COUNCILMAN DAVID GREGG COMMENTED THAT THE PRESS HAD ASKED IF THE CITY WAS ABDICATING THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN THE SOUTH BEACH; HE STATED EMPHATICALLY THAT THE CITY IS NOT; THEY SIGNED AN' AGREEMENT; AND THEY WILL LIVE BY IT. HE PERSONALLY BELIEVED IF THE COUNTY WISHED TO SERVE THE SOUTH BEACH ALL INCLUSIVE, THAT THE CITY WOULD BE WILLING TO TURN OVER ALL THEIR ASSETS AT THEIR COST. COMMISSIONER BIRD DISCUSSED COST ESTIMATES AND INQUIRED WHETHER THE CITY DOES NOT HAVE DEVELOPMENT COSTS FROM PUTTING IN THE PUMPING STATION, ETC., THAT THEY WILL PASS ALONG IN THE FORM OF IMPACT FEES. MR. GREGG STATED THAT THE CITY HAS DEVELOPED AN IMPACT FEE THAT WILL CONSIDER THE ADDED COST OF GETTING ACROSS THE RIVER TO SERVE THE SOUTH BEACH, BUT THE COST OF THE STORAGE TANK AND THE PUMPING STATION WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS FEE, WHICH WILL AMOUNT TO APPROXIMATELY $1,000 FOR NON -VESTED BEACH RESIDENCES. HE THEN DISCUSSED FIRE PROTECTION, STATING THAT HE, AS A RESIDENT OF THIS AREA, FOUND IT EXTREMELY UPSETTING THAT THERE IS A CONSIDERATION NOW TO IMPOSE AN IMPACT FEE FOR SOMETHING WHICH EVERYONE WHO IS VESTED ALREADY THOUGHT THEY HAD. COMMISSIONER BIRD NOTED THAT IT APPEARS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AN IMPACT OF $1,000 ON NON -VESTED RESIDENTS FROM THE CITY'S STAND- POINT AND $800 FROM THE COUNTY'S STANDPOINT.
