Director Davis explained that to get the construction cost per lane mile for each district, they costed out the improvements needed to be made in each of the 9 districts and divided that cost by the total lane miles in each district. They then multiplied the construction cost per lane mile times the number of lane miles of roadway that each particular land use is necessitating. For example, a single-family home needs approximately 17 feet of a one -lane roadway to mitigate its impact on the system; therefore, to determine the impact fee, you multiply the length times the cost per lane mile in that district.

Commissioner Bird asked how we determined the number of building permits that would be issued over the next 20 years, and Director Davis explained that they based it on past growth and the number of units in each district. That projection was then plugged into the traffic model to simulate the capital improvement 'I program. Commissioner Scurlock interjected that you divide the number of units into the dollars to get the capital improvement plan.
