George Blythe, Chairman of the Indian River Homebuilders <br />Association, emphasized that with the proposed increase in impact <br />fees, buyers of a typical 1200 sq. ft. home on the mainland are <br />seeing this particular line item increasing to 50 of the <br />construction cost. The Association is concerned about the <br />first-time home buyer, and while they realize that services must <br />be kept at reasonable levels, they wish to urge the Board to keep <br />the funding source effective, not punitive. <br />Frank Mackie, developer of Garden Grove, supported totally <br />the idea of impact fees because he believed they are needed in <br />this county. However, he felt there are some inequities in the <br />formula being used. He distributed copies of examples of what he <br />felt are some of the inequities: <br />THERE ARE SOME INEQUITIES IN PROPOSED RESIDENTIAL IMPACT FEES <br />EXAMPLES: <br />#1 5 Bedroom <br />4 Bath <br />$150,000 <br />Single Family Home <br />District 7 <br />Fee: $543 <br />#2 3 Bedroom <br />3 Bath <br />$500,000 <br />Multi Family Beachfront <br />District 2 <br />Fee: $1018 <br />#3 2 Bedroom <br />2 Bath <br />$70,000 <br />Multi Family <br />District 8 <br />Fee: $527 <br />2 Bedroom <br />2 Bath <br />$60,000 <br />Multi Family <br />District 5 <br />$927 <br />2 Bedroom <br />2 Bath <br />$70,000 <br />Single Family <br />District 6 <br />$1120 <br />2 Bedroom <br />2 Bath <br />$70,000 <br />Single Family <br />District 6 <br />$1120 <br />EITHER THE CRITERIA USED ORIGINALLY OR THOSE USED IN THE PROPOSED <br />FEE SCHEDULE WERE INACCURATE RESULTING IN SOME ERATIC CHANGES IN <br />FEES <br />39 <br />ISEP, IS 1988 BCCK 14 [.'� F <br />
