administrative costs. The combined total specified on the adopted Asses2 <br /> s- <br /> ment Resolution is $20,768. 63, <br /> THERE BEING NO PUBLIC COMMENTS, THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> 3 . IMPACT FEES <br /> Marvin Collins presented for the receipt of public comment a reso- <br /> lution requesting that the legislative delegation introduce special legis- <br /> lation in the 1986 Session of the General Assembly, to enable the County to <br /> establish a system of Impact Fees. The Planning Board, Planning Staff and <br /> Board of Commissioners have expressed a desire for such legislation and to <br /> incorporate impact fees into the planning process countywide. In order to <br /> accommodate the Carrboro and Chapel Hill Land Use Ordinance and Chapel Hill <br /> development standards, it would be necessary to have such a system of impact <br /> fees authorized. Fees would be designed to help defray the cost of expand- <br /> ing public facilities and the costs would be placed on new development on a <br /> per lot or per unit assessment. Collins briefly summarized the purposes of <br /> the impact fees. <br /> Commissioner Walker asked for further clarification on what would <br /> be included for impact fees and expressed a concern that it would create <br /> double taxation on the developer. <br /> THERE BEING NO PUBLIC COMMENTS, THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> D.

The task force recommends <br /> that the Board consider requesting the Utilities Commission for an extension <br /> to mid July. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Carey to approve the letter addressed to the Utilities Commission which <br /> requests an extension of time for a response until mid July and authorize <br /> the Chairman to sign on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS. <br /> Helwig also reported on the extended telephone area service cost <br /> data. He briefly summarized the report. it has been determined that a <br /> digital switch will resolve the switching problems and help diagnose cable <br /> problems and give everyone access to all the long distance lines. The <br /> switch that Centel plans to install in an appropriate switch. The task <br /> force recommends that the Board consider requesting Centel provide to the <br /> task force a list of precisely what will go into the system and a comprehen- <br /> sive list of auxiliary equipment (long distance connections, cable plan, <br /> etc. ) and that these lists, along with a report from the task force be <br /> forwarded to the North Carolina Utilities Commission asking them to review <br /> Centel 's upgrade proposal for (a) technical accuracy, (b) its timeliness, <br />
