Tindale Oliver presentation on Impact Fees and Multi modal fees [Amy Patterson, Tindale Oliver] Steve Tindale and Nilgun Kamp of Tindale-Oliver and Associates,Inc.presented the Slideshow "Collier County Multi-Modal Transportation Impact Fee-April 3'12013." The Slide show provided an overview on the uses of Multi Modal Fees. The fees are transportation related and imposed in lieu of traditional transportation impact fees. The following was highlighted during the presentation: • The program has been implemented within the State in a variety of locations including the Orlando and Jacksonville area. • The program is useful in areas that no longer have the option to increase roadway capacity due to"build out,"but demand on the traffic systems continues to increase creating burdens on the users and beneficiaries. • Multi modal fees may be used for improvements to transit systems,pedestrian and bicycle thoroughfares, etc. to reduce demand on area roadway systems. • In order to implement a program,the jurisdiction must develop specific long range plans to identify current and future needs within the areas the fees are to be collected and utilized. • The re-allocation of the previously collected and held impact fees collected is not a goal of the program. Mr. Boughton arrived at 3:55pm M. DeJohn left at 3:57pm Under Committee member discussion,the following was noted: • The fees would not affect the existing transportation impact fees collected for a specific geographic area as these funds need to be expended on roadway projects. • The multi modal fee concept should address the transferability aspect of the uses (i.e. "park and rides"developed outside the area to be served). • It may be prudent to analyze the impact any program may have on the demand for development(or redevelopment)of the area subject to the fees. B. Job Bank Conversion— [Jamie French] Mr. French provided the Executive Summary"Recommendation to authorize the conversion of twelve permitting and inspection job bank positions to full time equivalent positions for Fund 113,five plan review and inspection job bank positions to full time 3 April 3, 2013 equivalent positions for Fund 131, and one new full time equivalent position for Fund 113" for consideration. He presented the Slideshow"Staffing Conversion Analysis—Growth Management Division Planning and Regulation Prepared by James French, Director of Operations—April 2013"which outlined the rationale for the request. The following was highlighted: • 1 and 2 family home construction has been increasing in the County at a much greater rate than surrounding areas. • The large increase in activity has taxed the level of service provided by the County for building permitting and related inspections. • Currently,job bankers, at an added expense to the Department have assisted in providing the service required to serve the demand and the proposal is to convert a number of the positions to full time employees. • The request will not impact the current NOVA contract for services during periods of high demand. Additionally, the Department will still have the option of utilizing a number of job bankers up to 10 percent of the total number of full time employees. • The increased costs associated with the request is estimated at$119,401 for Fund 113 and$55,198 for Fund 131 for the remainder of FY2013. • The approval of the positions will require transferring funds from reserves in Fund 113 and 131 into payroll budgets during FY2013. • The funding of the positions for FY2014 will be from the Department's conventional income and will not require increased contributions from the General Fund or raising fees associated with development services. • The request will ensure these employees have a more"vested"interest in their employment and aid in promoting the Department's goal of continuing to improve plan review and inspection performance measures. Mr. Waldrop moved to recommend the Board of County Commissioners approve the request for the conversion of twelve permitting and inspection job bank positions to full time equivalent position for Fund 113,five plan review and inspection job bank positions to full time equivalent positions for Fund 131, and one new full time equivalent position for Fund 113 and authorize the appropriate budget amendments for FY2013 and adjust and approve the FY2014 budget accordingly. Second by Mr.Mulhere. Carried unanimously 13—0. VII. Old Business C. LDC Amendment review—5.05.08 Architectural& Site Design Standards-secondary facade and PUD deviations [Caroline Cilek] (this item was heard before items A and B) LDC SECTION(S): 5.05.08 Architectural and Site Design Standards CHANGES: To amend subsection 5.05.08 C.9 to allow freestanding buildings and buildings located on outparcels within a Planned Unit Development(PUD)or a common ownership development to have one secondary façade, i.e. the"back"of the building.
