1 WhwtiY; SEPTEMBER 30. 1992 THE TEMMESSEAN SB BALTZ, William Joseph, Sr. Sep Most speakers call proposed fee hike for new homes unfair fair to keep on raising property taxes," Beard said. Builders in Williamson County already pay about $6,000, or 5, in fees on the cost of a $125,000 home, said Allen Patton, manager of Fieldstone Farms subdivision. "We have a higher cost of developing homes than in neighboring counties: Davidson, Rutherford and Sumner," Patton said.

Clyde Lynch, chairman of the budget committee, said he disagreed with some of Patton's figures. He said builders of a house at $125,000 would pay $2,224 in fees. County residents have been paying an impact fee since 1988, which has raised more than $4 million for schools construction, according to igures from the county executive's office. The money is split between the county schools and the Franklin Special School District. Even if commissioners approve the fee, property taxes are expected to go up in 1993 to help pay the county $64 million debt on new schools construction, said County Executive Robert Ring.

The county has held the line on property taxes for the last three years, Ring said. By BONNAM.de la CRUZ 'Staff Writer FRANKLIN Eleven of the dozen residents who spoke at a public hearing told county commissioners that a proposed 50 increase in impact fees on new homes is unfair. Williamson County commissioners next month will consider whether to raise the fee, called an adequate facilities tax, from 40 cents per square foot of construction to 60 cents. The fee helps fund construction of schools. "We're coming off a market that "has been in the toilet for two years.

market is sensitive to this," said John Lackey, a homebuilder land director with the Nashville-IMlddle Tennessee Home Builders 'Association. I Speakers, mostly homebuilders lexpressing opposition to the proposed increase Monday night, said city commissioners should look at other ways Including sales and property taxes of maintaining the high standard of education in the county. Impact fees "are ultimately hidden and must be absorbed by the builders," said Bob Zimmerman, chairman of the Williamson County Association of Realtors' legislative committee. "We represent a lot of people. There are people on fixed incomes we need to think about when talking about raising property taxes," said Commissioner James Anglin, a member of the County Commission's Budget Committee.

The crowd appeared biased in opposition to the increase, since most of the 80 who attended the meeting were associated with the building industry, Anglin said. Homebuilders have paid the county an average of 5945,000 a year in fees for new schools, Lackey said. That amount could finance nearly four new schools annually, he told commissioners. With a 20-cent increase, the county would collect enough money to finance 5.5 new schools a year, Lackey said. School enrollment is growing at a rate that creates the need to build one new school a year, Lackey said.

Lillie Beard, chairwoman of the county school board, spoke in favor of the increase, which if approved would go into effect Nov. 1 "If people want to move to Williamson County, they should be willing to pay for new schools. It's not Doctor: Woman's survival surprising bound and gagged Driver after they arrived in Memphis and found that "she had kicked aloose some speaker wires" in the trunk of her car, Lawrence testified. Scott said he, Young and Moore then drove Driver to a wooded area and discussed whether to bury her or simply to leave her in the woods, the police detective said. Scott said he struck Driver on the head with a shovel after Moore had choked her, Lawrence testified.

The three men split $55 which they took from Driver, Scott said in the statement which he gave to police, Moore and Young will be tried separately from Scott. 3 Rogers Driver said. "She can't concentrate. She can't remember anything like she did." Croce said it is "not surprising that Mrs. Driver's mental capacity is not what it was." The surgeon said the memory loss described by Driver's husband was probably caused by her "pro-Jonged low blood pressure and loss of oxygen to the brain." Mackie Driver testified yesterday that she thinks Scott is the man who pulled a gun on her in the driveway of her home, after she had returned from buying clothes ior a children's charity program at Meharry Medical College.

She said the two men who approached her threw her into the trunk of her car and drove away. She said she remembers nothing about her ordeal beyond struggling for air in the intensely hot car trunk. Metro police detective Johnny Lawrence testified that Scott began cooperating with police only after another Metro detective, Johnny Crumby, told him that officers "were going out to the ball field, but it was not to play ball." Lawrence said Scott told police that it was Young's idea to take Driver's car, a 1989 Pontiac Grand Am, when they spotted her in her driveway Aug. 27. Scott said it was Young who 3 "The normal version of events spects.

McDougal said, however, that he had advised Voekel not to award multiple bids. "He asked what did I think about it or did I know of any options or alternatives to bidding other than a multiple award bid, which I told him was illegal in Metro government and that he needed to talk to Steve Gordon (Metro's new purchasing director) as to other alternatives," McDougal said.
