Indian River County 1 Impact Fee Update Study <br />Facility Service Delivery <br />The Indian River County School District inventory was reviewed and trends in the net square <br />feet per student stations were evaluated. This review along with discussions with the <br />District representatives suggested that the design characteristics of future facilities are <br />likely to be consistent with the existing schools. <br />Table X-2 illustrates the facility service delivery in Indian River County, which is 144.7 net <br />square feet per permanent student station for elementary schools, 140.5 net square feet <br />per permanent student station for middle schools, and 157.9 net square feet per <br />permanent student station for high schools. The weighted average facility service delivery <br />based on all three school types is 147.7 net square feet per permanent student station. <br />Reference to net square feet pertains to the most recent figures published per the Florida <br />Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Report for the District. <br />Table X-2 <br />Facility Service Delivery <br />Description <br />Permanent Net Square Footage') <br />Permanent Student Stations(2) <br />Net Square Feet per Student Station(3) <br />Elementary <br />1,122,710 <br />7,761 <br />144.7 <br />School Type <br />Middle <br />602,578 <br />4,288 <br />140.5 <br />High <br />826,729 <br />5,235 <br />157.9 <br />Total / <br />Weighted Avg <br />2,552,017 <br />17,284 <br />147.7 <br />(1) Source: Indian River County School District <br />(2) Source: Indian River County School District.

Portable stations will always <br />be used at some level since they provide valuable flexibility to address temporary increases <br />in enrollment. The School District's policy is to provide the necessary permanent student <br />stations in the long term. <br />Tindale -Oliver & Associates, Inc.
