Basing it on the square footage of the business seems to be right. T&D was mad, because he has over 10,000 feet of square footage.

As I understand it, you are correct. It is possible that the Lofts at Brownwood, in their entirety, pay $124 for fire protection because they represent one property. The same for the Grand Traverse shopping center - one property, one $124 fee. I don't know that $0.53 per sqft was fair (I pay much less than that) but it was a start.
In the end, that ship has sailed. No IFD, no new fee structure, just a $25M hole to fill.
