NOV 14 11'b89. <br />BOOK <br />r 66 FACE 370 <br />Risti Chuhaloff, 160 Richard Street in Whispering Palm, <br />realized there is a question as to whether all of the tenants <br />will have to pay these impact fees, but stressed that is a matter <br />between the tenants and the park owners, and not the County. <br />There are State laws to govern whether or not the owners of the <br />units will have to pay. She wished to question the price of the <br />impact fees per unit, and emphasized that this adult mobile home <br />park is for residents 55 years and older and allows only two <br />people per unit. Due to that fact, she believed that their <br />impact fees should be at least half of that of a regular single- <br />family residence with 4, 5 or 6 people. Most of the people in <br />the park are 65-85 years of age and are living on a set income, <br />and they will not be able to afford these impact fees. Some <br />people in there are barely making it from month to month now. <br />Mrs. Chuhaloff noted that Marion County and Pope County have put <br />through impact fees on mobile homes at rates of 48%-55%, <br />regardless of whether they are in a mobile home park or on <br />private property. Marion County also issues a certificate of <br />payment of the impact fee which stays with the mobile home, <br />rather than with the homesite. If they move their unit out of <br />the park and take up residency in another part of the county, <br />they are not charged again for an impact fee. In other words, if <br />the people in the park are forced to pay this impact fee, they <br />would get a certificate that says they paid it and not the park <br />owner. She would like to see Indian River County do the same, <br />and Chairman Wheeler felt that could be done here. <br />Director Pinto explained that one of the problems with that <br />is that impact fees are not supposed to be transferred from <br />property to property. An additional problem would be the <br />difficulty in estimating capacities for the south county and <br />north county treatment plants. He wasn't sure what Marion County <br />is doing, but we are presently going through interviews to do a <br />study of our entire rate schedule, and that is something we could <br />look at. <br />14 <br />
