t <br />O <br />1 <br />5:35 Director Boling requested leaving the residential fees as they are now, <br />p.m. and scheduling the new residential fee change after the School Board <br />holds its workshop, which will probably be in September. <br />Mr. Wilson continued his presentation by naming some of the issues <br />that he felt could be dismissed, and the issues he wanted staff to review, <br />such as Emergency Services and Law Enforcement. He did not support <br />an increase in impact fees and felt the current level was adequate. Using <br />an overhead projector, he provided information regarding the level of <br />service and affordable growth for parks and public buildings, then <br />emphasized that impact fees are not a tax, they are a fee. He thereafter <br />spoke about the affordable alternative method, the administration of an <br />impact fee, and the refund policy. <br />Chairman O'Bryan explained the law for collecting impact fees. <br />Director Boling reiterated that the consultants established the park fee, <br />which has always been value or asset based. <br />Vice Chairman Davis wanted to know what public building space would <br />be needed in the next six years, and Administrator Baird responded that <br />it will be the Courthouse and Sheriff's Department. <br />5. WRAP-UP <br />6:08 Chairman O'Bryan clarified Commissioner Solari's direction for staff: <br />p.m. (1) Eliminate the less than 1,000 square -foot category, or keep it the <br />same (0 to 1,500 square feet). <br />(2) Review individual assessment and appeals for a reasonable fee. <br />(3) Leave portability, but drop the refunds regarding non - <br />commencement refunds. <br />(4) Continue collections at permit issuance. <br />Commissioner Zorc voiced concerns over the alternative method appeal <br />process for businesses that enclose their structures. <br />6:10 Discussion ensued regarding enclosures, interpretation of the Code, the <br />p.m. amount of the fee, the appeals process, dropping the 1,000 square -foot <br />category, eliminating the refund fee for non -commencement, and <br />collecting impact fees at permit issuance. <br />Chairman O'Bryan reiterated staff's direction to continue collecting <br />residential impact fees at the current rate, and after the School Board's <br />workshop, scheduling the final public hearing so the Board can take <br />final action on the fee schedule. <br />Impact Fee Update Study Workshop Page 7 <br />104 <br />
