JAN X9 6 Boa 63 ��,-L217 not seen any cooling oft effect in Broward County. To the contrary, it is one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Chairman Scurlock felt it is logical to assume that development will take place where you have the infrastructure. Water, sewer, transportation, and land costs are all inter- related, and he felt it will all balance because where you have this, land values will rise. Director Davis wished the Board to be aware that during the workshops, the City of Vero Beach had some comments re the fact that we have a 15% reduction in the fee table to encourage the use of the fee table, and there were some who felt we should not have such a reduction and that the fee should be 100%. The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. Robert Gaskill came before the Board representing Vista Properties and stated he would like to file the first appeal since he had a problem with the multi -family shown on the table. He noted that previously the chart showed multi family and single family, and now it shows multi family 3 story and over. Under the new criteria anything two stories and under would fall under single family assessments. Mr. Gaskill pointed out that if you had a project with two and three story buildings with identical units, the person in the 3 story building would be paying half what the person in an identical unit in a 2 story building would be paying. He felt we should have multiple family as such and single family as such and not differentiate by height. Mr. Brown explained the reason for the difference is that all the units they surveyed in the county that were over three stories high were primarily retirement situations and generally their trip generation is about half. Mr. Gaskill pointed out that Vista Properties has put in well over 2,000 two story retirement units in this county. Mr. Brown believed if it is a retirement community, that it is definitely open to apply for a modification of the fee. 10
