FEES Current charge is too low to meet county's needs Continued from Page B1 has raised $12.3 million in fees enough to add two miles of two-lane road. At that rate, it will take nearly 20 years to raise the $52 million the Transportation Department plans to spend in impact fee money, said Ben Goff, the deputy transportation director. A county survey found that Pima County fell in the bottom third of 27 Arizona cities and counties that charge impact fees. The eight governments charging lower fees, including Casa Grande, Gilbert and Cottonwood, had much smaller populations. One caveat: Most other communities charge fees not just for roads, but for police, fire, sewer, libraries and other services.

The county has refunded about $1.3 million of the $12.3 million, after more than 1,200 home builders and buyers convinced an appeals board or the Board of Supervisors that they would not benefit from any of the new roads that the fees would pay for and weren't legally required to pay for them. Many of those areas are in 1 rural "wildcat" subdivisions along dirt roads. The county's current program does not allow the use of fees to pave dirt roads, only to widen an existing road to boost its capacity. That may change soon. Road-building costs rise about 3 percent a year, while road right-of-way costs rise about 11 percent annually, Goff said.

Unlike 13 other Arizona communities, Pima County doesn't charge fees to new stores or other commercial development. The current fee would, over 10 years, bring in less than 10 percent of the $350 million raised countywide in the 1997 road bond issue that is supposed to pay for 10 years' worth of projects, Huckelberry said. By contrast, at least 150,000 people, or nearly 20 percent of the county's current population, will move here over 10 years, he said. This time, the Southern Arizona Home Builders Association says it will not necessarily oppose a higher fee, but it wants the county to wait up to two years to prepare a regional transportation plan containing solutions for the area's overall traffic problems. The county should apply the tab to everyone, not just builders, said Terry Klinger, the association's president.

"We're willing to pay our fair share, if a fair share 1 is paid by others," Klinger said. "It may be politically expedient to propose new impact fees, but we don't think it will have any significant i impact on the problems at hand until the big picture is looked at." Klinger warns that even a small increase could drive people out of the housing market because builders usually pass the fees on to customers. A National Association of Home Builders study recently concluded that a $1,000 price increase would drive 1,273 Tucson families out of the housing market for a $150,000 home. A increase makes a similar house unaffordable to an additional 2,500 to 6,300 families, the study said. Huckelberry said he has not ruled out waiting to propose an increase, but "if it looks reasonable, why wait if it's just bringing the fees to what was originally recommended five years ago?" The effect of the $1,550 fee is tiny compared with the region's housing price increases in the past few years, he contended.

The single biggest project that the impact fees would pay for is a $25 million widening of IMPACT FEE SCORECARD This is a sampling of the Arizona communities that charge impact fees to developers. Pima County assesses $1,550 per home for roads only. The city of Tucson does not assess impact fees. PHOENIX: From $1,868 to $9,996 to cover libraries, parks, garbage, sanitation, water, roads, and police and fire facilities. CHANDLER: $3,477 to $6,887, for libraries, parks and open space, sanitation and water facilities, roads, and police and fire facilities.

MARANA: $2,435, roads only. ORO VALLEY: $2,008, roads only. PIMA COUNTY: $868 to $1,550, roads only. SOURCE: Pima County survey. La Canada Road to four lanes from River Road north to Ina Road.

Because of a lack of money, the widening is not even scheduled. Peter Vokac, a neighborhood activist living near La and Magee Road, said the fee needs to be raised and the road must be widened, "the sooner the better." Right now, La is the Northwest Side's fastest northsouth artery, which Vokac drives regularly. But as growth continues, more people discover this shortcut and as the county widens La Canada north of Ina to Lambert Lane starting in 2004, the southern stretch will need improving more and more, said Vokac, a former official of La Neighborhood Association. "Right now, it is not so bad, but soon it will be overloaded," he said. John Stewart, who is building a house in Catalina, last summer won a 75 percent reduction in his fee on appeal because he showed that the nearest road to his house being built with impact fee money was 14 to 16 miles away.

County officials hope that if fees are raised and more projects are built with them, more people would be more likely to benefit from those projects. That could reduce the money lost to appeals. But Stewart, currently a Northwest Side resident, said he would have appealed even with more projects being built, because he lives on a dirt road a mile east of where the nearest pavement ends. "I'm not on a county-maintained road, and they're charging impact fees that are going to the county Department of Transportation," Stewart said. "I think the fee is a good thing if the roads are benefiting you, but as long as the appeal process is in place, people will appeal." Klinger said that looking at impact fees alone is not fair in determining the share of roadbuilding costs that developers pay.

He said most large developments separately pay to widen or build major roads near their projects as they wind through the county approval process. Developers also pay a $40 per linear foot "escrow fee" to the county to cover infrastructure costs, he said. He also said the fees will not help the county's more heavily congested centi areas because most new homes now rise far out on the periphery, such as Rita Ranch on the Southeast Side, and the fees must by law go to roads benefiting the homes that pay for them. But central-city activist Mark Petit of the West University Neighborhood Association said that if home builders on the periphery pay higher road fees, that could save the public more on projects in the city..
