JAN 1986 BOOK 63 PAGE 213 Director Davis advised that there is a detailed scope of work for each project in their report. For some of the secondary roads, it includes right-of-way (R/W) access and the construction of a 2 or 3 lane roadway, including drainage, etc., and this varies depending on the project. He noted that they have actually gone in and estimated R/W costs and tried to come up with a realistic construction cost for each district. For instance, it is much more expensive to acquire R/W on the Barrier Island and construct a road in an urban part of the island than in the western reaches of the county, and it -is the cost per lane mile that is important in the calculation of the impact fees. Chairman Scurlock emphasized that this whole process is not static-; it is dynamic and will continue to be readdressed as additional items are added to the capital improvement list. Commissioner Wodtke noted that 12th Street, for example, lies between District 8 and District 9, and he wished to know which district it is considered to be in, and how the costs of improving it will be handled? Mr. Brown advised that there are many projects that fall on the boundary lines and can be funded by both districts, and Director Davis clarified that each district would fund 50% of the total project costs, including acquisition of R/W on both sides of the road. Commissioner Wodtke believed we said every dollar we collect in a district must be spent in that district, but Craig Richardson of Barton Aschmann pointed out that there is a provision in the ordinance that states that if a district is bounded by a major arterial, the monies from either district can be used for the capital improvements on that road. Commissioner Wodtke brought up the situation on 12th St. just a few weeks ago where an additional 50' R/W was requested from Sugar Mill Estates. He understood that particular R/W was not included in the impact fees and wished to know if it is now included.
