I have posted my position a number of time, most of the time it's deleted with the sweeping cleaning of the site managers.


My position:
I don't care if the impact fee discount is eliminated and TV fee goes to +$2500.
TV does not care if the fee is increased to the non-discounted level.
It is no money out of TV's pocket, they will just increase the prices.
.

If TV doesn't care about an impact fee increase why is there all this anti impact fee increase activity going on at the developer's bequest ? Hage, the Sun articles, the contractor armada, and hiring a lawyer to dig up dirt on the new commissioners.Why spend the time and money to defeat something they could care less about?

They would prefer not to add $2k to the price of the house, but if the fee goes up....no big deal. Hope that helps you.

The Developer obviously cares, and cares a lot.

Two Bills posted this on another thread and I think it is worth reading this Sumter County schedule of road impact fees. The fees for a single family detached house in a retirement community seems minimal compared to other types of buildings. So I can see why the Developer is concerned, when he builds in categories other than retirement single-family housing.
