saxon math : Oviedo council reviews change in impact fees
The Oviedo City Council will discuss possible changes in its impact fees at its Monday meeting.
City Manager Gerald Seeber said it has been a few years since the city reviewed its impact-fee structure. But officials also want to bring in more business.
"Our City Council is sensitive to the fact that impact fees can sometimes be a turnoff for new investment," he said. "We're trying to grow our tax base. We know this is an important factor."
A consultant's report recommends that many of the fees decrease, though the council also will consider a new category of fees for administrative facilities, and some residential fees could "slide upward a little bit," Seeber said.
The commission meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall, 400 Alexandria Blvd.
7-Eleven on the way
A 7-Eleven is coming to the southeast corner of State Road 436 and Bear Lake Road.
The final site plan goes before the County Commission on Tuesday.
Goin' Postal opens
