L�UUK 78 Director Davis advised that there is approximately $59,000 in the District 7 account that has been collected since the inception of the impact fee program back in March, 1985. Although District 7 is one of the largest districts, it has the lowest amount of fees collected, since other areas in the county have populated much faster than this area. Approximately $50,000 of that $59,000 has been generated from the unincorporated areas, which include areas such as Vero Lakes Estates, which has 9,000 platted lots and is developing a little quicker than the Fellsmere area. Councilman Mraz asked how much it would cost to widen the 3-1/2 mile stretch from CR -507 to CR -512, and Director Davis advised that $1.7 million has been set aside in the program for the widening and improving of rural areas, such as Fellsmere. Councilman Mraz didn't quite understand where the $1.7 million is coming from, and Director Davis explained that basically that amount is set aside from the impact fee program and the gas tax revenues, but only $59,000 has been collected so far. Councilman Mraz realized that the $59,000 is a far cry from the $1.7 million and that it will take some time to collect the kind of revenue that will be needed to do the continuation of Babcock Street. With regard to the intersection of CR -507 and CR -512, he.has not seen any traffic problems as far as bottlenecks, etc. He felt there might be a potential problem at the intersection of CR -512 and Willow Street, but he wasn't quite sure that the extension of CR -507 to CR -512 is necessary. Director Davis explained that the 20 -year plan is reviewed every two years to see where the growth is occurring, and through 'the TPC, the plan is revised as needed. The County monitors CR -50 -7 -and CR -512, and if priorities change, recommendations are taken to the Board of County Commissioners and the plan is changed. 0 r
