RE: Traffic Impact Fees for Airport Administration Facility
This memo is to update you of recent developments at Sebastian Municipal Airport, regarding
Indian River County's Traffic Impact Fee for our new Airport, Public Works, and Engineering
Administration Building. It has come to our attention that the proposed impact fees are
substantially higher than estimated. Our contract with Holland Builders, Inc. granted an
allowance of $20,000 to cover impact fees. Based on the county's requirements, the traffic impact
fee for our facility will be $80,450. As outlined in our contract, any fees above and beyond the
$20,000 allowance would be the responsibility of the City of Sebastian.
After discussions with Finance Director Shai Francis, it was determined that we should pay the
entire impact fee and then make the appropriate price reduction in our contract with Holland
Builders. Please find the attached cost breakdown for fees associated with this project. As can be
seen, Holland Builders has already used $4,276 of their fee allowance, leaving a remainder of
$15,724 to be returned to the City via a contract amendment. Please keep in mind that there will
also be additional fees related to water and sewer impacts, however they will be addressed at a
later time.
Finally, it is imperative that we pay the entire fee no later than Friday, August 27, 2004. This is
because Indian River County has raised the above -referenced traffic impact fee over 280%, to
take effect September 1, 2004. This means that if we do not submit the payment by the end of this
week, the fee will go from $80,450 to $227,820. As can be seen, it would be financially
irresponsible if we waited until the fee was raised to facilitate payment. Though I question the
justification of such fees for what essentially boils down to a relocation of city staff, it appears we
do not have much of a choice at this time.
