Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

(3) The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed building or structure in
existence on or after January 1, 1996, with a new building or structure of the same
or a different use; provided that no additional need for public facilities will be
produced over and above those produced by the original use of the land.
(4) Any claim of exemption must be made no later than the time of application for a
building permit or electrical permit for a mobile home. Any claim not so made shall
be deemed waived.
(Code 1982, § 1-16.3-25; Ord. No. 95-41, pt. A, 9-19-1995)
Sec. 24-222. Appeals.

provisions of this article may be appealed to the board of county commissioners by filing a
petition of appeal within 30 calendar days of the date of the rendition of the decision.
(b) The board of county commissioners shall review the petition at a public meeting
within 30 calendar days from the date of appeal of said decision. The petitioner shall be
provided reasonable notice of the time, date, and place of the public meeting by certified
mail, return receipt requested, and invited to attend. Testimony at the public meeting shall
be limited to ten minutes per side, unless an extension of time is granted by the board. The

(Code 1982, § 1-16.3-26; Ord. No. 95-41, pt. A, 9-19-1995)
Sec. 24-223. Review and automatic adjustment of fees.
(a) The public buildings impact fee shall be adjusted by the county administrator in April
of each calendar year. Unless otherwise directed by the county commission, any adjustments
to the public buildings impact fee, made pursuant to this section, shall be effective the first
Monday in October of each calendar year. All adjustments to the public buildings impact fee
shall be based on the methodology described in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) The base for computing any adjustment is the January Consumer Price Index —All
Urban Consumers for the United States, published each year by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. For the purpose of this section the initial
index to be referenced is January 1996. The public buildings impact fee shall be adjusted by
the percentage change in the index.
(c) If the index is changed so that the base year is different, the index shall be converted
in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of
Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the index is discontinued or revised, such other
Supp. No. 14 CD24:89
§ 24-223 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used in order to obtain
substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index had not been discontinued or
revised.
(d) The board of county commissioners shall review the public buildings impact fee at
least once every five years from the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is
derived (January 1, 1996).

ARTICLE VIII. ROADS IMPACT FEE*
Sec. 24-255. Short title, authority and applicability.
(a) This article shall be known and may be cited as the "Roads Impact Fee Ordinance."
(b) The board of county commissioners has the authority to adopt this article pursuant to
Article VIII of the Constitution of the State and F.S. ch. 125 and F.S. § 163.3201.
(c) F.S. chs. 125, 334, 335, and 336 and F.S. § 380.06(15) provide that counties have the
exclusive responsibility for planning, building and maintaining county roads. The county
must collect road impact fees in order to construct county roads that adequately serve the
needs of all county residents, including residents of the cities. Development within the cities
impact the capital road needs of the county.
(d) The Fifth District Court of Appeals in the cases of City of Ormond Beach v County of
Volusia, 535 So. 2nd 302 (5th DCA 1988), and Seminole County v City of Casselberry, 541
So. 2nd 666 (5th DCA) has determined that municipal ordinances that were adopted in an
attempt to opt out of a county road impact fee to pay for county roads were not valid.
(e) This article shall apply to all areas of the county, even in the absence of interlocal
agreements with the affected municipalities.
(Code 1982, § 1-17-25; Ord. No. 85-10, pt. A, 11-12-1985; Ord. No. 93-002, pt. A, 2-16-1993;
Ord. No. 95-12, pt. A, 6-27-1995; Ord. No. 00-004, pt. A, 5-9-2000)
Sec. 24-256. Intents, purposes, and findings.
(a) This article is intended to implement and be consistent with the goals, objectives and
policies of the county comprehensive plan.
(b) The purpose of this article is to regulate the use and development of land so as to
ensure that new development bears a proportionate share of the cost of capital expenditures
necessary to provide roads in the county as contemplated by the county comprehensive plan.
*State law reference —Florida Impact Fee Act, F.S. § 163.31801.
Supp. No. 14 CD24:90
IMPACT FEES § 24-258
(c) The state legislature, through the enactment of F.S. §§ 163.3202 and 380.06(16), has
sought to encourage local governments to enact impact fees as a part of their land
development regulation program.
(d) The state legislature through the enactment of F.S. § 163.31801 has found that impact
fees are an important source of revenue for a local government to use in funding the
infrastructure necessitated by new growth and that impact fees are an outgrowth of the
home rule power of a local government to provide certain services within its jurisdiction
provided that any impact fee adoption or amendment must meet certain minimum standards
as set out in F.S. § 163.31801.
(e) The county is charged with the responsibility and control over all arterial, collector
and other roads, bridges, tunnels and related facilities within the county road system, in
both unincorporated and incorporated areas, and thus is charged with increasing the
capacity of these facilities as provided in F.S. §§ 125.01(1)(m) and 336.02.
(f) All new construction within the county in both unincorporated and incorporated areas
impacts the need for future improvements and additions to the county road system.
Accordingly, the provision by the county of roadway capacity benefits all residents of the
county, including residents of municipalities, and is in the best interest of the public's health,
safety and welfare.
(Code 1982, § 1-17-26; Ord. No. 85-10, pt. A, 11-12-1985; Ord. No. 93-002, pt. A, 2-16-1993;
Ord. No. 05-030, pt. G, 9-6-2005; Ord. No. 2019-012, pt. A, 7-2-2019)
Sec. 24-257. Imposition of roads impact fee.
(a) Any person who, after the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is
derived, seeks to develop land within the county by making improvements to land which will
generate additional traffic and which requires the issuance of a building permit or an
electrical permit for recreational vehicle parks or mobile home parks shall be required to pay
a roads impact fee in the manner and amount set forth in this article. Nothing in this article
shall be deemed to eliminate the requirements of Section 11.02.07 of the County Land
Development Code.
(b) No building permit or electrical permit for a recreation vehicle park or mobile home
park for any activity requiring payment of an impact fee pursuant to section 24-258 shall be
issued unless and until the roads impact fee hereby required has been paid.
(Code 1982, § 1-17-28; Ord. No. 85-10, pt. A, 11-12-1985; Ord. No. 93-002, pt. A, 2-16-1993;
Ord. No. 05-030, pt. H, 9-6-2005)

IMPACT FEES § 24-258
2019 "Calculated Fee" has been reduced to a maximum of 125 percent of 2018 fee.
+ Final fee subject to SLC Targeted Industry Program options. User should consult
with St. Lucie County for eligibility requirements.
(b) If a building is requested for mixed uses, then the fee shall be determined through
using the above schedule by apportioning the space committed to uses specified on the
schedule.
(c) If the type of development activity for which a building permit is applied is not
specified on the above fee schedule, the county administrator shall use the fee applicable to
the most nearly comparable type of land development on the above fee schedule. The county
administrator shall be guided in the selection of a comparable type by Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) and/or Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) traffic genera-
tion statistics. If the county administrator determines that there is no comparable type of
land use on the above fee schedule, then the county administrator shall determine the fee by:
(1) Using traffic generation statistics contained in the latest edition of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers "Trip Generation: An Information Report," or trip genera-
tion statistics supplied and certified by a registered state professional engineer;
(2) Using for average trip length the average trip length of all average trip lengths for
the applicable land use type as set out in this article (i.e., residential, office and
financial, industrial, recreational, institutional, retail) that were used in calculating
the above fee schedule;
(3) Using as a percent new trips the average percent new trips for the applicable land
use type (i.e., residential, office and financial, industrial, recreational, institutional,
retail) that were used in calculating the above fee schedule; and
(4) Applying the formula set forth in subsection (f) of this section.
(d) The county administrator shall determine the applicable land use type.
(e) In the case of a change of use, redevelopment, or modification of an existing use which
requires the issuance of a building permit, electrical permit for recreational vehicle parks or
mobile home parks or zoning compliance certificate, the impact fee shall be based upon the
net increase in the impact fee for the new use as compared to the previous use.
(f) If the feepayer shall opt not to have the impact fee determined according to subsection
(a) of this section, then the fee shall be determined by the county administrator based upon
the traffic generation rates determined by an independent traffic study (ITS), defined in
section 24-266, prepared by the feepayer and submitted to the county administrator or his
designee.
(g) The following formula shall be used by the county administrator or his designee to
determine the impact fee per unit:
Attributable travel = (Trip rate x trip length)(2 x % new trips).
New land miles = Attributable travel/Lane capacity.
Supp. No. 14 CD24:99
§ 24-258 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
Construction cost = New land miles x Construction cost per land mile.
Right-of-way cost = New land miles x Right-of-way cost per lane mile.
Total cost = Construction cost + Right-of-way cost.
Net cost = Total cost —Offsets.
Impact fee = Net.

Sec. 24-259. Payment of fee.
(a) The feepayer shall pay the fee to the county administrator at any time prior to the
issuance of a building permit or electrical permit for a recreational vehicle park or mobile
home park. The feepayer shall pay a roads impact fee.
(b) In lieu of all or part of the roads impact fee, the board of county commissioners may
accept the offer by a developer to construct, dedicate or acquire right-of-way for part of a road
improvement project shown in the county comprehensive plan or in the St. Lucie
Transportation Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan (needs plan) or
appropriate to the implementation thereof. Such construction must be in addition to any
road improvements required pursuant to other ordinances. In addition, the construction,
dedication or acquisition of right-of-way must only be for purposes as set out in section
24-261. The developer shall submit a cost estimate certified by a registered Florida
professional engineer and acceptable to the board of county commissioners or their designee,
who shall credit the cost of the construction against the road impact fee otherwise due. The
portion of the fee represented by the road construction shall be deemed paid when the
construction is completed and accepted by the county, or state or other appropriate
governmental entity acceptable to the county commission for maintenance or when adequate
security for the completion of the construction has been provided.
(c) In the event the developer proposes to dedicate or acquire right-of-way, the provisions
of section 24-260(6) shall apply. The portion of the fee represented by the right-of-way
dedications or acquisitions shall be deemed paid only when the dedicated or acquired
property is officially accepted by the county or other appropriate governmental entity.
(d) If road impact fees are owed, no development permits of any type may be issued for the
building or structure in question while the fee remains unpaid. The county administrator
may authorize the initiation of any action as permitted by law or equity to collect the unpaid
fees.

IMPACT FEES § 24-260
Sec. 24-260. Alternative collection mechanism.
In the event the road impact fees are not paid prior to the issuance of a building permit
because of mistake or inadvertence or in the event a municipality has not agreed to assist in
the collection of those road impact fees imposed within municipal boundaries, the county
shall proceed to collect the road impact fees as follows:
(1) The county shall serve, by certified mail, return receipt requested, an impact fee
statement notice upon the feepayer at the address set forth in the application for a
building permit, and the owner at the address appearing on the most recent records
maintained by the property appraiser of the county. The county shall also attach a
copy of the impact fee statement notice to the building permit posted at the site of the
land development activity if construction has commenced. Service of the impact fee
statement notice shall be deemed notice that the impact fees are due and service
shall be deemed effective on the date the return receipt indicates the notice was
received by either the feepayer of the owner of the property, whichever occurs first.
The impact fee statement notice shall contain the legal description of the property
and shall advise the feepayer and owner as follows:
a. The amount due and the general purpose for which the road impact fees were
imposed.
b. That a hearing before the board of county commissioners may be requested
within 30 calendar days from the receipt of the impact fee statement notice, by
making application at the office of the county administrator.
C. That the road impact fees shall be delinquent if not paid and received by the
county within 60 calendar days of the date the impact fee statement notice was
received, excluding the date of receipt, or if a hearing is not scheduled and, upon
becoming delinquent, shall be subject to the imposition of a delinquent fee and
interest on the unpaid amount until paid.
d. That in the event the road impact fees become delinquent a lien against the
property for which the building permit was secured shall be recorded in the
official records of the county.
(2) The road impact fees shall be delinquent if, within 60 calendar days from the date of
the receipt of the impact fee statement notice by either the feepayer or the owner or
the date said notice was attached to the building permit, neither the road impact fees
have been paid and received by the county nor a hearing requested. In the event a
hearing is requested within the time period allowed, the road impact fees shall
become delinquent if not paid within 30 calendar days from the date the board of
county commissioners determined the amount of road impact fees due upon the
conclusion of such hearing. Upon becoming delinquent, a delinquency fee equal to
ten percent of the total road impact fees imposed shall be assessed. Such total road
impact fees, plus the delinquency fee, shall bear interest at the statutory rate for
final judgments calculated on a calendar day basis, until paid.
Supp. No. 14 CD24:101
§ 24-260 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
(3) Should the road impact fees become delinquent, as set forth in this section, the
county shall serve, by certified mail, return receipt requested, a notice of lien upon
the delinquent feepayer at the address indicated in the application for a building
permit and upon the owner of the property at the address appearing on the most
recent records maintained by the property appraiser of the county. The notice of lien
shall notify the delinquent feepayer and owner that due to their failure to pay the
road impact fees, the county shall file a claim of lien with the clerk of the circuit
court.
(4) Upon mailing the notice of lien, the county attorney shall file a claim of lien with the
clerk of the circuit court for recording in the official records of the county. The claim
of lien shall contain the legal description of the property, the amount of the
delinquent impact fees and the date of their imposition. Once recorded, the claim of
lien shall constitute a lien against the property described therein. The county
attorney shall proceed expeditiously to collect, foreclose or otherwise enforce said
lien.
(5) After the expiration of one year from the date of recording the claim of lien, as
provided herein, a suit may be filed to foreclose said lien. Such foreclosure
proceedings shall be instituted, conducted and enforced in conformity with the
procedures for the foreclosure of municipal special assessment liens, as set forth in
F.S. §§ 173.04-173.12, which provisions are hereby incorporated herein in their
entirety to the same extent as if such provisions were set forth herein verbatim.
Attorney's fees and costs incurred by the county in the foreclosure proceedings shall
be recoverable.
(6) The liens for delinquent road impact fees imposed hereunder shall remain liens,
coequal with the liens of all state, county, district and municipal taxes and superior
in dignity to all other liens and claims, until paid.
(7) The collection and enforcement procedures set forth in this section shall be
cumulative with, supplemental to, and in addition to, any applicable procedures
provided in any other ordinances or administrative regulations of the county or any
other applicable law or administrative regulation of the state. Failure of the county
to follow the procedure set forth in this section shall not constitute a waiver of its
rights to proceed under any other applicable procedure.
(8) In the event that the property for which the building permit is issued is located
within a municipality that has not agreed to assist in the collection of the road
impact fee, a feepayer that pays the road impact fee directly to the county prior to the
receipt of an impact fee statement notice shall be entitled to a ten percent reduction
in the amount of the road impact fee due.
(9) In the event that the alternative collection mechanism contained herein is utilized by
the county to collect the delinquent road impact fee and that collection procedure
results in an inequitable burden as a result of the particular terms and provisions of
the construction or loan contract of the feepayer, then such feepayer may petition the
Supp. No. 14 CD24:102
IMPACT FEES § 24-261
county administrator for relief. The county administrator may make such adjust-
ments to the collection process to address such adverse impacts resulting from the
use of the alternative collection procedure. The feepayer shall have a right of review
of the decision of the county administrator to the board of county commissioners.

Sec. 24-261. Use of funds and road benefit zones.
(a) There is hereby created the Mainland Road Benefit Zone, the North Island Road
Benefit Zone, the Fort Pierce Island Road Benefit Zone, and the South Island Road Benefit
Zone. The boundaries of the various benefit zones are as depicted in revised Figure 1.
(b) All funds collected from roads impact fees shall be used solely for the purpose of
capital improvements or enhancements to transportation facilities associated with the
arterial and collector road network of the county as identified in the county's comprehensive
plan or the comprehensive plans of the City of Fort Pierce, City of Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie
Village or by the FDOT. Roads impact fees shall not be used for maintenance or operation
purposes. Such improvements shall be of the type as are made necessary by the new
development.
(c) Except as provided in subsection (d) of this section, all funds shall be used exclusively
for identified road capital improvements within the road benefit zone from which the funds
were collected or for projects in adjacent road benefit zones which are of direct benefit to the
road benefit zone from which the funds were collected. Funds shall be expended in the order
in which they are collected. For purposes of this article, the road benefit zones shall be as
depicted in revised Figure 1.
(d) Each July the county administrator shall present to the board of county commission-
ers a proposed capital improvement program for roads on the arterial and collector road
network of the county, assigning funds, including any accrued interest, from the several
special revenue funds to specific road improvement projects and related expenses. Monies,
including any accrued interest, not assigned in any fiscal year shall be retained in the same
special revenue funds until the next fiscal year except as provided by the refund provisions
of this article.
(e) The collecting governmental entity shall be entitled to retain not more than four
percent of all impact fee funds it collects to offset the actual costs of administering and
enforcing this article.

park expires and no certificate of occupancy has been issued, then the feepayer, his heirs,
successors or assigns, shall be entitled to a refund of the impact fee paid as a condition for its
issuance, plus interest based on the local government surplus funds trust fund (Florida
PRIME), except that the county and collecting government entity, if not the county, shall
retain four percent of the fee retained by the county and collecting government entity. In

(2) The construction of accessory buildings or structures which will not produce
additional vehicular trips over and above that produced by the principal building or
use of the land.
(3) The replacement of a destroyed or partially destroyed building or structure in
existence on or after February 1, 1986, with a new building or structure (a) of the
same or a different use; provided that no additional trips will be produced over and
above those produced by the original use of the land or (b) of the same or a different
use producing additional trips but only for the original trips generated.
(4) In those cases where a building permit or electrical permit for a recreational vehicle
park or mobile home park was issued prior to February 1, 1986, but where the permit
has since expired and more than 50 percent of the building construction was
completed based on the last inspection.
(5) Any claim of exemption must be made no later than the time of application for a
building permit or electrical permit for a mobile home. Any claim not so made shall
be deemed waived.

Sec. 24-264. Credits.
(a) Scope. Any person who shall commence any traffic impact -generating land develop-
ment activity may apply for a credit against the required road impact fee for any
contribution, construction, or dedication of land made by such person or predecessor in
interest and accepted and received by the county, the appropriate local municipality, state or
federal agency for transportation facilities that are creditable pursuant to this section.
Consistent with the standards of this section, an application may be made for credit for any
contribution, construction or dedication made in the county as required by a development
order issued by the county, the City of Fort Pierce, the City of Port St. Lucie, or St. Lucie
Village pursuant to its local development regulations or F.S. § 380.06, or any additional
Supp. No. 14 CD24:105
§ 24-264 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
development condition imposed by the state land and water adjudicatory commission on a
development of regional impact to the extent the contribution, payment, construction or
dedication meets the same needs as the road impact fee.
(b) General standards.
(1) Any person desiring a road impact fee credit, who proposes to make any contribution,
construction or dedication of a transportation facility along any roadway that is
identified in the county's comprehensive plan or in the St. Lucie Transportation
Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan (needs plan), shall first
obtain from the board of county commissioners an approval that the proposed
contribution, construction or dedication is considered to be eligible for a road impact
fee credit. Upon the determination by the board that the proposed contribution,
construction or dedication is eligible for a roads impact fee credit, the final amount of
the credit shall be determined upon the submission of a request for roads impact free
credit and the entering into of a formal roads impact fee credit agreement.
(2) Prior to the issuance of any credits against the roads impact fee, the person who
made the contribution, construction or dedication of transportation facilities shall
enter into an impact fee credit agreement with the board of county commissioners.
The following provisions are the general rules for the award of credit, supplemented
as provided in this section and implemented by the administrative procedures:
a. Credits applied against the roads impact fee for contributions, construction or
dedications shall not be transferable as a credit against other impact fees
imposed for purposes other than roads.
b. If allowed by the credit agreement, credits may be assigned to successors in
interest provided the county receives a recorded copy of the written agreement
signed by both the assignor and the assignee.
C. No credit shall exceed the amount due for the roads impact fee.
d. No credit shall be given for dedications and transportation improvements
dedicated or constructed before February 1, 1985. Any claim for credit for those
improvements constructed after February 1, 1985, but prior to September 1,
1987, must be made no later than March 1, 1988, or those claims shall be
deemed waived.
(c) Specific standards. Credits against road impact fees otherwise payable shall be
allowed only under the following conditions:
(1) County need. The contribution, payment, construction or dedication shall meet a
transportation capital need identified in the county's comprehensive plan or in the
St. Lucie Transportation Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan
(needs plan). No credit shall be given for capital improvements that do not meet a
transportation capital need identified in county's comprehensive plan or in the St.
Lucie Transportation Planning Organization Long Range Transportation Plan
(needs plan).
Supp. No. 14 CD24:106
IMPACT FEES § 24-264
(2) Site -related transportation improvement. No credit shall be given for any site -related
transportation improvements or site -related right-of-way dedications, unless it can
be shown to the satisfaction of the county administrator through appropriate
technical documentation that the site related improvement or right-of-way dedica-
tion provides for roadway capacity enhancements in excess of the impacts of the
proposed development. Site -related transportation and right-of-way improvements,
include, but are not limited to:
a. All driveway connections, turn lanes and other site specific access improve-
ments connecting the property defined in a final development order to any
adjacent impact fee eligible roadway.
b. All driveways, roads and attendant support systems, including, but not limited
to, drainage facilities, mitigation areas, etc., within, or immediately adjacent to,
the defined limits of the approved final development order.
(3) Safety -related improvements. Safety -related improvements which do not increase
road capacity shall receive no credit.
(4) Operational improvements. Non -site related operational improvements shall receive
credit to the extent that they provide increased capacity.
(5) Capacity improvements. Non -site related capacity enlargements shall receive credit
to the extent that they provide increased capacity.
(6) Right-of-way dedication.
a. Credit for the dedication of non -site related right-of-way shall be valued at 120
percent of the assessed value by the county property appraiser plus the
reasonable cost, as determined by the county administrator, of any survey,
closing costs or title information provided by the fee -payer to the county at the
request of the county. For the purposes of this section, the year of the assessed
value that is to be used to determine the credit value shall be the year prior to
the county's, or other unit of local governments, granting of a development
order, including changes in zoning, changes in land use, or site plan approvals
where such action results in the request for non -site related right-of-way. Credit
for the dedication of right-of-way shall be provided when the property has been
conveyed at no charge to, and accepted by, the county in a manner satisfactory
to the board of county commissioners. If the feepayer shall opt not to have the
right-of-way dedication credit determined as set out above, then the amount of
credit shall be determined by the board of county commissioners based on an
independent property appraisal, as described in section 24-267, prepared by an
individual who is both a member of the appraisal institute (MAI) and a state
certified general appraiser acceptable to the board of county commissioners,
that is paid for by the feepayer. At the option of the board, the board may
request a review appraisal, as described in section 24-268; provided that in the
event the value established by the independent appraisal exceeds 120 percent of
the assessed value by more than 25 percent, the board shall request a review
Supp. No. 14 CD24:107
§ 24-264 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
appraisal. In the event the board determines to request a review appraisal and
the determination of the value is the same or greater than value determined by
the independent appraiser, then the county shall bear the cost of the review
appraisal. If the determination of the value by the review appraiser is less than
the value determined by the independent appraiser, then the feepayer shall pay
for the cost of the review appraisal. Any independent or review appraisal
submitted pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to review of methodology
and technical accuracy at the discretion of the county administrator.
b. In the event a property owner determines to donate, and the county determines
to accept, non -site related right-of-way for any planned nonexisting roads or
expansion of existing impact fee eligible roadways as described in section
24-260(c)(1) to the county in advance of any application for final development
order approval, the board of county commissioners shall determine the value of
the credit for the dedicated right-of-way on the date the dedicated right-of-way
was provided. No right-of-way credit determination may include the consideration
of any enhancement to the value of property dedicated as a result of the new or
expanded roadway construction.
(7) Application procedure. Applicants for credit for construction of non -site related road
improvements shall submit documentation of the actual engineering and construc-
tion costs to the county administrator or his designee. The county administrator or
his designee shall determine credit for roadway construction based upon these costs
or upon alternative engineering and construction cost estimates if the county
administrator or his designee determines that such costs submitted are excessive or
incomplete.
(8) Acquisition by purchase or condemnation.
a. In the event a developer is required as a condition of a final development order
to acquire off -site right-of-way along impact fee eligible roadways as described
in section 24-260(c)(1), the developer shall first obtain an independent property
appraisal as described in section 24-267 and provide the county administrator
with a copy of the appraisal. The county administrator may obtain a review
appraisal as described in section 24-268.
b. Except as provided below, credits for right-of-way acquisition shall be based on
the independent property appraisal, the review appraisal, or the purchase
price, if lower, as determined by the county administrator. In the event the
developer is unable to acquire the right-of-way for appraised value or lower, the
board may:
1. Grant additional credits above the appraised value if it determines that
the cost of acquisition is less than the cost of condemnation or that
condemnation is not practical or desired;
2. Authorize the condemnation of the parcels; or
3. Deny the request for additional credits.

(9) Time of claim; waiver. Except as provided in subsection 24-260(b)(4), any claim for
credit must be made no later than the time of application for a building permit or for
an electrical permit for a mobile home or recreational vehicle. Any claim not so made
shall be deemed waived.

the property, the county may dispose of the property through the procedure outlined in
subsection (a) of this section
(d) Alternatively, when a parcel of real property is of insufficient size and shape or is
otherwise unable to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be
constructed on the property, the county may negotiate the private sale of the property to an
adjacent property owner. Such parcels may only be sold or conveyed to adjacent property
owners. The county shall send notice to all adjacent property owners by certified mail
indicating the county's desire to dispose of the real property and requesting interested
adjacent property owners to submit to the county a letter of interest. The county may then
effect a sale and conveyance of the parcel at private sale to an adjacent property owner
without receiving bids or publishing notice. If two or more adjacent property owners express
interest in acquiring the property, the county shall evaluate the letters of interest and may
convey the property to the adjacent property owner the county deems most appropriate
considering the unique location of the surplus property. This procedure applies regardless of
whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative or upon
receiving a letter of interest.
