Proposed Water and Sewer Impact Fee Ordinance
Mr. Faison:
A draft Impact Fee Ordinance has been prepared to replace the
portion of present ordinances dealinG with impact fees. In form, it
is similar to an ordinance recently adopted by Altamonte SprinGs for a
number of different impact fees. The various provisions contained
therein are designed to meet the various conditions and requirements
for impact fee collections imposed by Florida Statutes and case law.
Also developed, is a recommended "final" Water/Sewer Impact Fee
Study prepared by Conklin, Porer & Holmes. This Study has been
prepared utilizinG a five-year planning window as requested by Florida
Homebuilders Association. I have not yet presented either the
Ordinance draft or Study to Florida Homebuilders Association or our
Future Growth Advisory Board but am contacting both Groups to arrange
meetings. The dollar cost per equivalent residential connection (ERC)
Generated by the five-year planning window is somewhat less than the
results of the 1985 study. I therefore recommend a slight reduction
in impact fees as follows - sewer fee $1700 per unit vice $1800 per
unit; water impact fee $650 per unit vice $700 per unit. This
reduction will insure against inadvertent over collection and will
clearly demonstrate Sanford's intention to remain "competitive".
The proposed Ordinance also contains a provision for reduction of
impact fees for one and two bedroom multiple family and mobile home
units, as compared to single family and other three bedroom units.
The effect of this reduction will be that the impact fee charged will
be 83.33% of the single family structure fee. This is compariable to
similar reductions now in effect within OranGe County and is supported
by the logical reasoning that there are fewer fixture units and on
average fewer people occupyinG the one and two bedroom units.
Additionally, we have added and recommend to you a section which
contains a provision that any impact fees paid since "a date to be
determined" that are Greater than fees established by this ordinance
shall be refunded upon request of the payer. It is recommended that
this refund date be established as November 11, 1985, the effective
date of our present impact fee ordinance, which significantly
increased impact fees to their present level.
It is recommended that City Commission authorize the final
preparation of the Ordinance and also authorize the City ManaGer
and/or the Director of EnGineerinG and Planning to discuss this
proposed Ordinance with Central Florida Homebuilders Association, City
of Sanford Future Growth Committee and other interested parties.
An updated version of the draft Ordinance has been forwarded to
City Attorney for.review and comment. Specific comment is requested
on the need for additional lanGuaGe to insure that the Ordinance
properly supersedes only those parts of Ordinance 1784 dealinG with
impact fees, leavinG other aspects of that ordinance including rates,
tap fees and connection fees uneffected.

Site for Proposed Fire Station Facility, Upsala Road
Mr. Faison:
For some time we have been seeking a suitable site for a new fire
station to serve the western section of City of Sanford. Based on
consultations with the Fire Chief it has been determined that the
optimum location of a new fire station should be on Upsala Road,
preferably near the eastern intersection of Upsala Road with the old
railroad right-of-way. We previously discussed acquiring a fire
station site of approximately 1-acre just inside of Sanford Central
Park. The asking price was approximately $75,000 per acre.
Some time ago I received the attached letter from Seigler Realty
indicating the availability of a parcel just to the south of the
Seaboard Coastline right-of-way on Upsala Road. The attached drawings
show the general location as well as the property itself. The site
comprises approximately 4.6-acres at a price of approximately $21,620
per acre. Bob Seigler indicates that if the City does not want the
entire parcel arrangements can be made for another buyer to buy the
remainder.
We have had preliminary soil investigations performed on that
part of the site which would be utilized for the fire station.
Results are favorable.
I have worked with Tom Hickson and his people relative to site
adaptation of a fire station design utilized by Seminole County. The
potential for use of this design appears favorable. We would need
approximately 150 feet of frontage along Upsala Road for the fire
station function. This would leave only approximately 60 feet of
frontage to connect to the rather large eastern portion of the parcel
not needed for fire station use. While we have potential for selling
the unneeded portion..I suspect that we would be effectively paying a
premium for that part of the land we would obtain for the fire
station, however, an exact cost breakdown has not been determined.
In analyzing the site as a whole I see several additional
potential uses if the City were to purchase the entire parcel.
include the following:
Police Department substation.
These
Site for elevated water storage tank.
Site for Fire Department training facility.
Park and recreation facility.
Although the property presently has only 210 feet of frontage along
Upsala Road there is potential for a future frontage of approximately
660 feet along a transportation corridor which may be developed in the
old railroad right-of-way. I see significant potential for a more
favorable future resale of the eastern section of the property than
could be realized at present.
I believe the property is technically contiguous with the City of
Sanford since it is separated from the Sanford Central Park area only
by a railroad right-of-way. Annexation should therefore be
immediately feasible.
Based on the foregoing I recommend Sanford proceed toward
acquisition of this property. Necessary steps, to be approved by City
Commission, include the following:
Obtain appraisal and survey of the property.

The specific area which was cut was funding in salariesboth full-

The time of the cuts you promised that if our program became a
reality you would personally go to the City Commission and ask for re-
instatement of needed funds.
As of this writing staff has been able to receive full
cooperation from four key areas for facility use for after school
recreation programs.
Facilities and programs are ready to go in the following areas:
(See attached map)
A)

You can see by the map with marked locations that the spread of
facilities to be used are excellent locations for many of the
perimeter residents.

B)
Fund the Part-time staff by quarters (October - December

participation in after school program. If attendence is
low, then drop that particular site and funding from
operation the following quarter.
Do not fund the Full-time Recreation Supervisor until the
second quarter then by reducing the need by 1/4 for the
1986/87 Budget.
Part-time people for first quarter - $6,755.00.
