This has happened in Palm Beach and Orange Counties. Palm Beach is facing impact fees between water, sewer and roads, that total $8-9,000 and even that is not generating enough revenue to expand their network. This is a very serious problem. Commissioner Eggert confirmed that we are seeing that pressure at the Regional Planning Council. Commissioner Wheeler stated that philosophically he thought if we are going to take the property, we should buy it. There must be something worked out where we can get our R/W. We can't let building go up and fill up,the R/W we will need in the future. This has happened all over Europe. Discussion continued in regard to how high impact fees could have to go, and Commissioner Wheeler commented that in Orlando impact fees for a fast food restaurant were something like $8-10,000 per 1,000 sq. ft. Chairman Scurlock stressed that it will take a lot of workshops to develop an equitable approach to this problem. Commissioner Eggert believed a group such as The Moorings understands that while the 10' R/W may not be sitting there on their site plan, it is certainly something that well may be purchased in the not too far distant future, and she could not imagine them moving a parking lot onto the R/W. Dorothy Hudson,.attorney for The Moorings, noted that they do not want to create a substandard project - the problem is that this road is not on the 20 year plan. She felt we are talking something in the near future when it isn't in the near future. Discussion ensued as to why A -1-A is not on the county's 20 year plan., and it was pointed out that it is a state road.
