Realistically Impact Fees don't impact the Developer.
IF the Impact Fee tripled, the Developer would just increase the price of the new houses by $2k. This would
not slow sales. Every house in Southern Oaks would have sold if the price was $2k higher.
The Developer will make their 30% margin with a $1,000 Impact Fee or a $3,000 Impact Fee. It has nothing to do with Developer greed...............they will make their margins and they will continue to sell their new homes.
A friend is moving from an area by 466a to Southern Oaks. They have signed on the line. Construction will not start until February. What a great back-log. $2,000 additional fee would not have impacted the Developer.
Look for greed, controlling the commissioner, fraud some where else.
