M M M <br />will base it on 4 now, and if you divide that into more individ- <br />ual units later, we then will charge based on that. <br />Chairman Eggert noted that the memo says the developer <br />proposes two 20,000 sq. ft. buildings, and she believed what Com- <br />missioner Bowman is asking is whether that is 4 units for the 2 <br />buildings together or 4 for each building. <br />Director Pinto advised that it would be 4 for each building. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that is the minimum. He <br />felt the other thing that has to be realized is that when we are <br />basing the ERUs on some gallonage, and that presently is 250 <br />gallons, that number is still an average number. There will <br />always be a range that will represent one ERU; that is simply a <br />not -to -exceed figure. No consultant will ever come up with a <br />number that is exact for every residential unit. It obviously <br />will vary depending on the number of people in the home and the <br />water usage; so, there has to be a range. For instance, in our <br />residential category, which is the easiest, we have customers on <br />our system currently using less than 1,000 gallons per month and <br />we have in that same category customers using almost 100,000 gpm <br />for irrigation, etc. We are directing the consultants to look at <br />this very specifically to see if we have erred in any way, and <br />when that study is complete, he believed that would be the time <br />to make any major adjustment. <br />Director Pinto understood the developer's concern, but <br />thought it is very important to note that the impact fee and the <br />structure of it is crucial to the development of utilities in <br />Indian River County. Without those fees, you wouldn't be looking <br />at any utility or any capacity for expansion. We do want to be <br />fair, and it is being looked at as a warehouse, but they are <br />individual separate units with individual bathroom facilities, <br />and, therefore, we are saying we should go by what the present <br />ordinance says. <br />Commissioner Bird wished clarification on the difference <br />between staff's recommendation and the applicant's request. <br />13 Mir. <br />APR 1® 1990 "'3 <br />
