Unanswered Questions: <br />25. Q: Does the “grace period” apply only to existing owners? Or also new <br />owners? One-time? Spec houses? Residences? <br />A: At the present time, consideration is being given to lots that would exist at the <br />effective date of the bill adopting the impact fee. <br />26. Q: If HPP lot owners don’t pay a sewer fee, how will they even get this <br />service? <br />A: This is a good question, and relates to the long-term capital improvement <br />plans of the County. It would be difficult, if not impossible, for the County to <br />assess an impact fee for a service it does not contemplate implementing within <br />the lifetime of a capital improvements plan. There has to be a commitment on the <br />part of the County to provide the service before a fee can be assessed. <br />27. Q: Currently, only limited areas within the county are serviced by public <br />sewer. Would impact fees be discounted for areas not serviced or planned <br />for future extension of sewer service? If not, how would fees be <br />distributed? <br />A: Impact fees will be calculated for a number of different services, and assessed <br />specifically for those services. If development occurs in an area outside the <br />service area for a certain service, then that particular impact fee will not be <br />assessed. <br />28. Q: How would the impact fees affect builders in Non-residential pre- <br />existing subdivisions? OR: would it apply? What would residential builders <br />be charged to build a home on agriculture land? <br />A: At this time, we believe all new non-residential development would be <br />assessed for impact fees, most likely at the time of building permit. A single- <br />family dwelling would be assessed the same basic impact fee, regardless of <br />zoning. <br />Impact Fee Video Conference Page 7 <br />Questions and Answers – January 17, 2006 <br /> <br />
