Ordinance, thereby establishing the County's then applicable water and sewer impact fee rates, and, as
such, those rates have been in effect for more than three (3) years; and
WHEREAS, on March 13,2001, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No.
2001-13, the Collier County Consolidated Impact Fee Ordinance, repealing and superceding all of the
County's then existing impact fee regulations. and consolidating all of the County's impact fee
regulations into a single Ordinance. codified in Chapter 74 of the Collier County Code of Law and
Ordinances (the Code), and incorporating the aforementioned water and sewer impact fee rates
established by the adoption of Ordinance No. 98-69; and

accordance with the findings in the 2001 Water and Wastewater Master Plans and the Water and
Wastewater Impact Fee Studies; and
WHEREAS. Section 74-502 of the Collier County Code of Laws and Ordinances states that
impact fee studies should be reviewed at least every three (3) years, thus. the County has retained Public

recommend changes to the fees where appropriate; and
WHEREAS, Collier County uses impact fees to supplement the funding of necessary capital
improvements required to provide public facilities to serve new population and related development; and
WHEREAS. it has been discovered that the currently applicable water and sewer impact fees
are based upon under-projected population figures, resulting in an undersized capital improvement
master plan. and the County's exceptional growth in the past three (3) years, in conjunction with the
expansion of the Collier County Water-Sewer District service area as contemplated in the Rural Fringe
Area Assessment Conceptual Strategies. indicates that the Board should undertake assertive, proactive
measures to match water and sewer capacity with future needs; and

capacity by 32 million gallons per day and wastewater treatment capacity by 34.8 million gallons per day
over the nell:t nine (9) years, at an estimated cost to future utility system users of $639 million; and
WHEREAS, the County's Consultant recommends a water impact fee rate increase from
$1,275 per equivalent residential connection (ERe) to $2,690 per ERC, an increase of $1 ,415, or 110.98
percent; and a sewer impact fee rate increase from $1,575 per ERC to $2,840 per ERC, an increase of
$1.265 or 80.3 percent; and

and sewer impact fee rates as specified in the attached revised Schedule Two of Appendix A; and

sewer impact fees at the maximum level allowed in accordance with equity tests established by previous
case law in the State of Florida; and
WHEREAS, on December 11, 200 1 the Board of County Commissioners directed staff to work
with the Collier Building Industry Association (CBIA) for thirty (30) days to address any concerns and
issues, including further review of the impact fee studies; and
WHEREAS, additional review of the relevant information resulted in discovering the following
with regard to Schedule Two to Appendill: A to Collier County Resolution No. 2001-488: (1) Need to
reduce throughout each equivalent residential connection (ERe) for water service by fifty dollars
($50.00) because, based upon the applicable rate studies. the former figures are overstated by $50.00 per
ERC; (2) the water impact fees applicable to three inch water meters was understated because of a
scrivener's error, and (3) the water impact fees for eight inch water meters was understated because of a
scrivener's error; and
WHEREAS, this Resolution corrects the errors that exist in the initial Schedule Two to
Appendix A to Resolution 2001-488.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF COLLIER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. The water and sewer impact fee rates as set forth in Schedule Two of Appendix A in
Collier County Resolution No. 2001-488 be corrected effective retroactively to January 1.2002, the date
that those rates originally went into effect.
2. The water and sewer impact fee rates set forth in the revised Schedule Two of
Appendix A of Ordinance No. 2001-13, as amended, the Collier County Consolidated Impact Fee
Ordinance, the same being Schedule Two of Appendill: A of Chapter 74 of the Collier County Code of
Law and Ordinances, attached hereto, and incorporated be reference herein as Exhibit "An are fair and
reasonable sums to be assessed to those who receive the benefits of new and expanded water and sewer
public facilities necessitated by increased population and related development.
3. Upon review of the applicable impact fee studies subsequent to the adoption of the
original Schedule Two to Appendix A to Resolution 200 1-488. staff has determined that
'~ ..4
.

......
(i) In the applicable Rate Study one potable water related capital project was
inadvertently counted twice in two (2) different time periods. Correction of this double-
counting requires a reduction to the residential water impact fee by $50.00 per equivalent
residential connection (ERe).
(ii) A scrivener's error in Appendix A to Resolution No. 2001-488 indicates that
the sewer impact fee applicable to a single family dwelling with more than four (4) bathrooms
and/or more than 5,000 square feel of living area shall be determined "based on meter size."
That is in error because the correct applicable sewer impact fee applicable to such units is and
should be $2.840.00 per equivalent residential connection (ERe).
(iii) A scrivener's error understated water impact fee rate applicable to a three inch
(3") water meter for service to non-residential uses, and
(iv) A scrivener's error understated the water impact fee rate applicable to an eight
inch (8") water meter for water service to non-residential uses.
4. The revised water and sewer impact fee schedule as depicted in Schedule Two to
Appendill: Z to Resolution 2001-488 became etIective on January 1,2002 except for these new rates will
continue not be imposed to only new fully detached single-family residences that are constructed
pursuant to a Collier County building permit issued on or before Friday, March I, 2002, and the
residence is sold to the first purchaser and the purchaser will reside in the residence, and the title transfer
closing documents prove that the residence was sold for a total purchase price of $130,000 or less.
5. In accordance with all of staff's recommendations, which are accepted by the Board of
County Commissioners, this Resolution repeals and supersedes Resolution No. 2001-488, and its
Schedule Two to its Ell:hibit A. all retroactively to January 1,2002. Any person who or entity that in the
meantime was overcharged an impact fee because of application of the incorrect former Schedule Two to
Appendill: A shall automatically be entitled to a refund (or credit) in the amount of the overcharge. If
any person who or entity that was undercharged an impact fee because of application of any of the
aforementioned errors in the formerly incorrect Schedule Two to Appendill: A to Resolution 2001-488,
shall be automatically required to pay the sum that was undercharged.
