I -A r■� r Chairman Eggert felt that is not what the county is about, and Attorney Vitunac believed you have to have a public aspect in there or you can't give a credit. Commissioner Bird noted that if they provide the facilities on site for their residents, it replaces the need for some other facilities, but Attorney Vitunac pointed out that is required already. Mr. Risinger believed Port St. Lucie and Palm Bay in Brevard County are struggling with this now, and he believed their consultants are recommending up to a 20o impact fee credit for privately provided facilities based on L.O.S. standards. He advised that Boca Raton allows up to 100% credit for privately provided facilities. Mr. Risinger thought if the county is going to try to promote such privately developed and privately main- tained facilities, then the county needs to allow the private developer some incentive in the impact fee ordinance to get some credit for those facilities. He would encourage that this be looked at more closely in the impact fee ordinance. Public Works Director Davis advised that the way it is structured in the initial draft, we divide recreation into 3 parts - resource base oceanfront (which would be beach facilities) - resource base non -oceanfront (which would be access to the river) and user base recreation, like a tennis court, etc. If a developer provided user base, they could qualify for some credit for that user base segment. These mitigate the impact of that new resident needing that facility, but they are not miti- gating the impact of that new resident wanting to go to the beach. There will be some partial credit opportunities. Chairman Eggert believed that we then should wipe out "open to the public." Director Keating agreed that we can eliminate "open to the public," and that doesn't preclude us from doing that either way in the impact fee ordinance. _ 141 BOOK1990 c.
