BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />May 17, 2020 <br />Mr. Patrick Marston <br />Optimal Outcomes, LLC <br />435 5th Avenue N, Suite 200 <br />St. Petersburg, FL 33701 <br />Via e-mail: pmarston(a,optimal-outcomes.com <br />Re: Vero Beach MOB, LLC Traffic Impact Fee Credit Appeal <br />Dear Mr. Marston: <br />On May 12, 2020, Vero Beach MOB, LLC submitted an appeal of Bill Schutt's letter to Aaron <br />Bowles, MBV Engineering, Inc., dated April 24, 2020, which conveyed that the proposed <br />improvements to Indian River Boulevard do not qualify for traffic impact fee credit. In his letter, <br />Mr. Schutt stated that the application, which was received by Community Development staff on <br />April 21, 2020, was reviewed for completeness and eligibility. He stated the application was found <br />to be incomplete, but still staff proceeded with the review for eligibility in an effort to expedite the <br />project. Community Development staff coordinated with Public Works, and determined that the <br />proposed improvements did not qualify for traffic impact fee credits in accordance with Section <br />1010.04(6) of the Indian River County Code of Ordinances (the "Code"), which state that no credit <br />shall be given for site -related improvements, including but not limited to: <br />• Access roads leading to and from the development; <br />• Acceleration and deceleration lanes, and right and left turn lanes leading to those roads <br />and driveways within the development; and <br />• Traffic control devices (including signs, marking, channelization and signals) for those <br />roads and driveways within the development. <br />Pursuant to Sections 1000.14 and 100.06 of the Code, I have reviewed the appeal submitted on <br />May 12, 2020, along with the supporting documentation. It should be noted that the appeal <br />submittal raises several issues that are not directly related to the impact fee credit determination. <br />This letter will only address the pertinent points that relate to the impact fee credit and the appeal <br />at hand. Please be aware that silence on any other assertions does not imply agreement with those <br />points. Based upon my review of the appeal, I concur with staff's determination that the <br />improvements are not eligible for impact fee credits as they are not allowed per Section 1010.04(6). <br />OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />1801 27'11 Street, Vero Beach, Fl. 32960-3388 <br />PHONE: 772-226-1408 <br />173 <br />
