The impact fee for a mobile home represents usage of 0-250 gallons per day, which is the same usage for a single-family home. In many cases we have found that many of our smaller homes in the county use Tess than mobile homes. Director Pinto felt very comfortable, statistically, that we are on very good ground in estimating the gallons used in a mobile home. Commissioner Eggert understood that the impact fees for a regular single-family home are over $1,000, but Director Pinto advised that the $1,366 impact fee for a mobile home is the same as a single-family home. The impact fee for an RV is $625, or half a unit. He didn't know why we call them mobile homes any longer since they certainly are not mobile, but the usage of a mobile home or manufactured home is equal to that of a single- family home. Returning to the matter of when the impact fees are due, Director Pinto explained that the reason they set the policy that the impact fees are not due until the unit is sold is because we recognized that this would place a burden on some of the very old people living there, and this way they would not have to pay until their unit is sold. Commissioner Eggert felt that people do not understand that the impact fee doesn't have to be paid for any unit that is on a lot now or that the impact fee tenant sells his mobile home. Director Pinto pointed out that there is a limit of 12 years. If the impact fees are not all paid within 12 years, the County will send a bill to the park owner. Commissioner Bird understood then that the owner of this park will not get billed right away for every unit in the park, and Director Pinto confirmed that to be correct. The owner will get a notice that upon sale of a unit or a transfer of title of a unit, the impact fee becomes due. That is the same agreement the County has with other mobile home parks. doesn't have to be paid until a NOV 14 i969 15 I;OOF ( FAJF Tel
