21-310.05 - Review of Fees
a. Under this Section, the schedule of each impact fee shall be reviewed at least once each
every other year to update cost credits and generation rates. Where the review warrants
change to impact fees, this Section shall be amended.
b. Each review shall include an analysis of the level of service for each impact fee. If the
average level of service is not consistent with the level of service upon which the respective
impact fee amount is based, the amount shall be adiusted based upon the then-existing level
of service.
21-310.06 - Trust Fund
The Police impact fee shall be deposited in a Police impact fee trust fund. The trust fund
shall be invested by the City in interest bearing sources and all income derived shall accrue to the
trust fund. The funds shall be used only for capital improvement costs for which the impact fee was
levied and which would add capacity needed to serve new development. The City Manager shall
identify in the City's annual budget the designated capital improvements for which the Police impact
fees will be spent. The funds shall remain restricted to the Police trust fund and the requirements
of this Section. The City Manager shall ensure that these designated funds are expended and
accounted for in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The City shall maintain such
records and documentation necessary to allow the effective audit of the use of the Police impact fees.
21-310.07 - Collection. Administrative Fees and Use of Funds
a. The fee payer shall pay the Police impact fee to the City for deposit into the Police impact
fee trust fund prior to the issuance of a building permit which may be required for
development listed in the schedule contained in Section 21-310.03. No building permit may
be issued until such fees have been paid or until the Citv has accepted title to land area
meeting the standards set out in this Section. For land uses not requiring a building permit
an alternative development order shall not be granted until the impact fees have been paid.
b. In lieu of all or part of the impact fees, City Council may accept the offer bv a fee payer to
dedicate land and/or construct all or part of a Law Enforcement proiect. Such construction
must be in accordance with state, county and city design standards applicable to the proiect.
The fee payer shall submit a proiect description in sufficient detail to allow the preparation
of an engineering and construction cost estimate.
~ If the City Council accepts such offer, the City Manager shall credit the cost of this
construction against the Police impact fee otherwise due. The portion of the fee represented
by the facilities construction shall be deemed paid when the construction is completed and
accepted by the City or when the fee payer posts security as provided in subsection (d) of this
Rev. 07/200 1 (PoliciesProcedures/LandDevelopmentCo~VI - 3

Section for the costs of such construction. The portion of the fee represented by land
dedication shall be deemed paid when the title to the land dedicated for that purpose has been
accepted by the City.
d. Security in the form of a performance bond or escrow agreement shall be posted with and
made payable to the City in an amount approved bv the City Manager equal to one hundred
ten percent (110%) of the full cost of such construction. If construction of the proiect is not
to be completed within one year of the acceptance of the offer by the City, the amount of
security shall be increased by ten percent (10%) compounded, for each year of the life of the
security. The security shall be reviewed and approved by the City Manager's office prior to
acceptance of the security by City Council.
e. No impact fee is required for the issuance of any building permit for residential use which
does not result in an additional living unit.
f. All funds collected pursuant to this Section shall be promptly transferred for deposits into
the Police trust fund. Impact fee collections shall be used exclusively for land acquisition,
capital improvements, purchases or expansion related to the public purpose for which such
fees were collected, with the exception of impact fee administrative costs pursuant to
paragraph (g) below. Funds shall be expended in the order in which they are collected.
& The City shall be entitled to retain up to four percent (4%) of the impact fees collected as an
administrative fee to offset the costs of administering this Section
h. Any impact fees that are paid by check, draft or other negotiable instrument, that do not
clear: the building permit or development order authorizing the development for which the
impact fee was paid shall be suspended and the City shall send the appropriate suspension
notice to the fee payer by certified mail. If the impact fee, together with any charges for
funds not clearing, are not paid within ten (10) business days following mailing of the notice,
the building permit or development order shall be of no further force and effect for purposes
of this article and a stop work order shall be issued and remain in effect until such time as
the impact fee is paid and the funds clear.
21-310.08 - Refund
a. If a building permit expires and no construction has been commenced, the fee payer shall be
entitled to a refund of the impact fee paid as a condition for its issuance, less the four percent
(4%) of the fee retained as an administrative fee by the City, therefore, the fee payer shall be
entitled to a refund equal to ninety-six (96%) ofthe impact fee paid. No interest will be paid
to the fee payer on refunds due to non-commencement. Refunds resulting from City's
miscalculation shall not be charged the administrative fee on the amount refunded.
b. No refund shall be given for a change in land use or structure after occupancy has occurred.

POLICE
IMPACT FEE STUDY
CITY OF EDGEWATER
JUNE, 2001
INTRODUCTION
As a result of population growth and increasing non-residential development within the City of
Edgewater, the ability of the City's Police Department to maintain its current level of service has
been adversely impacted. In fact, a change in the dispatching methods has been necessitated by this
growth as well as the increase in the number of units on the streets. Future demands can only be met
by continuing to increase the capital already in place for the existing population and for the
employees/users of those products/services offered by the non-residential development. The
implementation of new Police hnpact Fees will contribute to the expansion necessary to service new
growth and will be charged on all new development (residential and non-residential) to pay for the
demand on service they impose on the City. The impact fees collected will be spent to provide a
reasonable and rational benefit to the fee-paying development. The funds collected by the imposition
of impact fees will be connected to the proposed capital improvements by the Florida Courts
definition of "dual rational nexus of benefit." The benefit that is expected from such impact fees
will assure adequate and consistent levels of service from the City's Police Department.
POPULATION GROWTH
In 1990, the City of Edgewater's permanent population was 15,337. In 2000, the permanent
population was 18,865, an increase of 23% since 1990. Over the ten year period, the City
experienced an average growth in population of approximately 2.3% per year. Current
socioeconomic studies prepared by Land Design Innovations for the Comprehensive Plan Update
predict the growth trend to increase to approximately 3.23% per year for the next ten years. The
predicted increase is consistent with anticipated economic growth within the County. Other growth
factors include a substantial amount of vacant land annexed into the City and anticipation of
additional annexations to the south and west by the City. If the predicted growth trend continues,
by 2005 the permanent population of the City of Edgewater will be 22,865; by 2010, 26,398; and,
by 2015, 30,262. Non-residential growth is also occurring in the large tracts available for both
commercial and industrial development.
PURPOSE OF THE POLICE IMPACT FEE STUDY
The purpose of this study is as follows:
]. To develop appropriate measures of demand for police services;
2. To estimate the cost for capital needed to service the increasing demand;
3. To establish necessary impact fees to pay the fair share cost of growth.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
hnpact fees are "one time" charges assessed on new development (residential and non-residential)
to fund the capital costs imposed on the City by growth. Unlike other types of developer exactions,
impact fees are based on a standard formula and a pre-determined fee schedule. Impact fees require
that each new residential or non-residential project pay its pro-rata share of the cost of new capital
facilities and capital expenditures and must be spent within six years of collection. Impact fees
cannot be used to pay for non-capital items and recurring expenses such as personnel salaries and
operating/maintenance expenses.
SERVICE UNIT
Demand for police service is usually measured in number of calls by land use type. This would have
been the chosen method had serious under-reporting not been discovered in the current call-taking
system. Such a problem is not new nor is it unique to the City of Edgewater. Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida, discovered the same situation when they were updating their impact fees in 1999. ill a report
entitled Impact Fee Update dated April 2000 written by Duncan Associates an alternative approach
known as "functional population" was chosen as an equitable solution to the under-reporting
problem. This approach is based on the assumption that demand for police services and the capital
expenditures necessary to provide these services is generally proportional to the presence of people.
The functional population concept is similar to the concept of "full-time equivalent" employees or
students. It represents the number of "full-time equivalent" people at the site of a specific land use.
For example, functional population takes into account working, shopping or recreating away from
home for the residential units and hours of customary operation for non-residential. Since night time
hours of service are similar for homes where people are sleeping and unoccupied non-residential
property where businesses have closed, the calculations are based on a 16-hour day instead of a 24-
hour day.
The City of Palm Beach Gardens is very closely matched in demographic data to the City of
Edgewater. For this reason, the calculations provided in the study cited above will be replicated
herein.
To establish the unit for residential land uses both average household size and number of dwelling
units by type are needed.

Since the time away from home must be deleted from the functional population, the calculations for
household size must be divided by a number which best reflects working, shopping, and recreating;
the assumption has been made that for this community one-half of the household should be factored
out of the equation. This results in the functional units expressed in Table 2.

For non-residential uses, the functional population methodology is based on national trip generation
data compiled by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Functional population per 1,000
square feet is derived by dividing the total number of hours spent by employees and visitors during
a day by 16 hours. Employees are assumed to spend eight hours a day at their place of employment
while visitors are generally assumed to spend one hour per visit (varies with land use). The formula
used to derive the non-residential functional population estimates is summarized in Table 4.
3
TABLE 4
FUNCTIONAL POPULATION FORMULA
Functional population/lOOO sf = (employee hours/lOOOsf + visitor hours/lOOOsf) / 16 hours/day
Where:
Employee hours/lOOOsf = employees/lOOOsf x 8 hours/day
Visitor hours/lOOOsf = visitors/lOOO sf x hours/visit
Visitors/lOOOsf = weekday ADT/lOOO sf x avg. vehicle occupancy - employees/lOOO sf
Weekday ADT/lOOOsf = one-way average daily trips (total trip ends 12)
Using this formula and information on trip generation rates from the ITE Manual (Sixth Edition),
non residential functional population estimates per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (or other
applicable unit) were calculated. Table 5 presents the results of these calculations.

Total functional population for non-residential land uses is calculated based upon the square footage
of such non-residential uses currently existing in the City of Edgewater. Again utilizing the data
gathered in the Fire/EMS Impact Study, the following area was determined through the V olusia
County Property Appraisers Office.

Combining residential and non-residential measurements will determine the functional population
for the City of Edgewater. Table 7 has actually been developed by combining Tables 2 and 3 for
residential with 5 and 6-for non-residential. The functional population is then derived by multiplying
the number of units in 2000 by the functional population per unit. It should be noted that the
functional population for the City is less than the actual population; this is expected because the
amount of office/institutional is so low and much of Edgewater Landings had a lower persons per
household rate than other single-family detached dwellings..

The maximum police impact fees that may be adopted by the City of Edgewater are calculated by
multiplying the functional population per unit associated with the various land uses by the cost per
functional population of maintaining the existing level of service. These impact fee calculations are
shown in Table 11.

CONCLUSION
During the past year, the City of Edgewater has annexed over 500 acres into the City. Some of this
newly annexed area will be used for industrial development and some will be planned residential
community growth. In the current fiscal year, approximately 1000 acres are planned to be annexed
7
south of the City. The land use for these acres is planned residential development. Other annexations
are anticipated and further development of existing lots in Edgewater (Florida Shores) is also
anticipated. The further development of Florida Shores is due, in part, to the lot clearing ordinance
for fire protection.
The expansion and widening of S.R. 442 is also anticipated to cause additional growth in the western
portion of the City. The need for the expansion of Police services in the next several years is due to
an increase in area to be covered, population growth, and an increase in the amount of non residential
development.
The effort to finance and offset the cost of new services (partially for existing residents and
customers) needed to maintain the level of service that currently exists within the community is
recommended through the implementation of Police impact fees for new construction.
