Posted - 10/14/2010 : 10:54:30 By mikewj
"On Big Island Video 10-13-10, Pete Hoffman's plan to levy impact fees for new construction will be coming up at the next Council meeting on 10-19-10.
Briefly, he is proposing an impact fee of more than $6,000 per single family structure, with comparable fees for multi-unit residential, commercial and hotel construction. (Bill 304)
Also doubling the cost of use fees from $250 to $500 (Bill 306).
With the construction industry in the doldrums, he proposes increasing the cost of building! Someone needs to ask Mr. Hoffman what logic is behind this proposal? "
If you like paying an extra $6,000 to the County for the privilege of building a house on your $5,000 dirt road lot then Pete is the guy for you!
