26 1 I also had a question on page 49. There's a section here where there's reference to, excuse 2 me, page 50, number 11, number 10. What does all this mean, 'applicant would like to continue 3 to review the fees associated with the project before making any formal comment.' 4 5 Michael Harvey: In preliminary discussions with Mr. Tracy Parrott on the required fees 6 associated with this project, and in Ms. Levy's defense, I don't think she was properly in the loop 7 of what our discussions of the fees were. They're going to continue to review and will make a 8 formal comment. From our staff standpoint, a flee is a fee and it's got to be paid. 9 10 Commissioner Jacobs: Mr. Attorney, I assume we can waive fees if we so choose, or no? 11 12 John Roberts: I don't know that it's a good idea to waive fees. You have your fee schedule 13 there for a reason. 14 15 Commissioner Jacobs: Thank you, I have some questions for Habitat. Maybe Ms. Levy can 16 answer. Did you use any public funds to purchase this property? 17 18 Susan Levy: No, we haven't actually purchased it yet. We have it under contract and we vuill 19 purchase it if and when we get approval. We did request $70,000 in HOME funds this year for 20 some predevelopment and acquisition costs. 21 22 Commissioner Jacobs: This issue that was raised that doesn't seem to have been answered 23 about the looped line. 1,Nhere do we stand on the looped line. 24 25 Susan Levy: The water line connecting to Richmond Hills? 26 27 Craig Benedict: Presently, Ashwick is to the east of the project and we have a water 28 maintenance stubbed out over this area. Over in this area, we have Richmond Hills, we have a 29 water main stubbed out over here for a future connection. Right now, there is not an off-site 30 access or utility easement to make this connection here. So, we will be suggesting astub-out at 31 this point and at some future date we'll have to find out how to connect the dots with this 32 property here. Who pays for that cost and how can it be arranged? That's what we're trying to 33 come up with some final determinations. We do know that a system will help this project, 34 Ashwick, and Richmond Hills. So, we're still endeavoring to find out what the cost will be, how 35 to acquire off-site easements, and who will pay for it. 36 37 Commissioner Jacobs: I will say that we left an issue unresolved for Richmond Hills about a 38 pump station and it has come back to haunt us to some extend. We retrofitted that fix, so 39 whatever it is, I would hope that it comes parallel to the approval process. 40 41 On page six where it talks about the fees, we have three kinds of fees that would need to be 42 paid. Who's paying them? The first one says that the time when the final subdivision plat is 43 submitted to staff, so I assume that means Habitat's going to pay that. The other two are at the 44 time the building permit is submitted for review. It's the sewer tap-on fee and the Hillsborough 45 capital facilities fee. 46 47 Susan Levy: We always pay those fees. 48 49 Commissioner Jacobs: So, that will all be taken care of before someone takes ownership? 50 51 Susan Levy: Yes.
