: <br />Question <br />18. If roads automatically become property of the County, wouldn’t <br />that eliminate “roads in limbo”/gated communities? The impact fees should <br />be matched with County funds (bonds), if needed. <br />Response: <br /> Roads do not automatically become property of the County. <br />Before the County will accept private roadways, they must meet County <br />roadway standards. <br />: <br />Question <br />19. Could impact fees provide funds for a new police or fire <br />department? <br />Response: <br /> Yes, impact fees can be used to build new police or fire <br />department buildings and to purchase needed equipment (fire trucks, <br />police cars, etc.), but cannot be used to pay for salaries or maintenance of <br />buildings or equipment. <br />: <br />Question <br />20. Why not assess fees on sale of homes (and put it in the impact <br />fee fund)? <br />Response: <br /> Impact fees cannot be assessed against existing <br />development, regardless of whether it changes ownership. <br />: <br />Question <br />21. The biggest bottleneck to the construction of new infrastructure <br />projects is the lack of interest by the private sector—they are too busy <br />making big money to do County projects. <br />Response: <br /> Throughout the course of this project, the consultant team has <br />heard that there is a real problem within the County getting programmed <br />infrastructure projects constructed. We have also heard a variety of <br />reasons that contribute to this problem. Without assigning blame or <br />responsibility, expediting infrastructure projects must be addressed by the <br />entire community. <br />Public Meeting Questions and AnswersPage 8 <br />August 15 & 16, 2006 <br />
