From:
Donald L. Craig, Director of Growth Management
Division

Budget Workshop - April 11 - Fee Changes in
Growth Management Division Fee Structures
Re
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Introduction
The Growth Management Division is proposing a significant
change in several categories of Fees charged to customers which
effects the special taxing district revenue projections. The
following categories are recommended for changes:
1. Impact Fees
2. Building Permit Fees
3. Planning Permit Fees
4. Fire Marshall Inspection and Impact Fees
5. Special Fees
Justification of Fee Changes
1. Impact Fees The present transportation impact fees
are one half of those calculated in 1985 at the time of
the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. At that time
the fees were calculated on the basis of anticipated
infrastructure needs through 2005, based on calculated
rates of growth. This existing fee structure was pro-
duced by planning and engineering consultants to the
County and accepted by the Board of County Commission-
ers. However, in 1986 with the adoption of the plan the
fees were dropped to their present level. Since 1985,
the County's infrastructure needs have increased, antici-
pated slowing of growth has not occurred and inflation
amounting to approximately 12-15% in the consumer price
index is a fact. Therefore, the Growth Management Divi-
sion recommends the new transportation impact fees pro-
posed below:
~
Existing
Proposed
Single Family
Multi-Family, per unit
Mobile Home
Hotel, per unit
Motel, per unit
Medical Office, per 1000 s.f.
Banking, per 1000 s.f.
Other Offices, per 1000 s.f.
Warehouses, per 1000 s.f.
General Industrial, per 1000 s.f.
Retail, under 50,000 s.f.
Retail, 50,000 to 99,999 s.f.
Retail, 100,000 to 249,999 s.f.
Retail 250,000 s.f.+

$ 965
$1010
$2099
$1655
$3186
$2307
$2889
$1215
$2945
The implication of this change is that if the rate of growth
remains the same, the funds forthcoming to the transportation
trust fund would increase by approximately 70%.
The other impact fee categories are recommended to be in-
creased by 15% to account for inflation. This would bring the
total impact fee for a single-family home to approximately
$3,370.41, or a total increase of 38%. All other uses would see
an increase in total impact fee of approximately the same 38%,
except for those uses which are charged only three or four of the
impact fees. These include non-residential uses which are
not charged park or library fees. Please see attached table
for exact dollar increases.
2. Building Permit Fees Building permit fees were com-
pared to fees in seven other jurisdictions. The general
results are:
a. Building Permit Fees for roofs in Monroe County are
higher then average.
b. Demolition and blasting fees are very low in Monroe
County.
c. Monroe County charges no permit fees for landscape
improvements or inspections, while other Counties
do.
d. Permit Fees for moving buildings are low compared
to other Counties.
~
"
The Building Department is now compiling all data comparative
into a spread sheet format, and will recommend specific changes,
prior to budget year closure, on or about July 1, 1989.
3. Planning Permit Fees The Growth Management Division
has reviewed the man hours and direct expenses involved
in the permitting activities the Division provides. It
is recommended that the fOllowing fees be changed to
reflect the real time invested by staff, yet maintain a
"reasonablell permit fee, which would allow the average
citizen to participate in the permitting process.

creased fees to be effective not later than October 1, 1989.
