INTRODUCTION
Impact fees are used my municipal governments to recoup capital expenses necessary to
maintain adopted levels of service associated with new growth. These identifiable capital costs
are assigned directly to those residents or service users responsible for the additional cost to help
offset capital funding deficiencies and to ensure equity amongst all users, existing and new.
The purpose of this report is to determine impact fee amounts for Police, Fire/Rescue and Parks
and Recreation related public facilities for use by the City of Winter Springs in accessing a
proportionate cost impact fee to new development for these services. The report provides an
evaluation of the current impact fee methodology used by the City of Winter Springs for Police
and Fire/Rescue services, as well as, providing an updated calculation of the impact fee amount
for these services. In addition, this report defines the methodology to be used and the calculation
of the impact fee for Parks and Recreation public facilities.
Determination of an impact fee amount involves the establishment of facility standards and
current deficiencies, inventory and assessment of existing facilities, apportioning of costs to new
developments, determination of appropriate credits, and the incorporation of time-price
differentials. These elements are defined in the following report for each of the three public
services listed above.
Review of Current methodology
Review of the current methodology used by the City of Winter Springs for the determination of
Fire/Rescue and Police impact fees indicates that the previous methods used for calculation of these
impact fees was vaJ1d. The current methodology is a "standard driven" approach where the
theoretical proportionate share is based upon historical investments made to support the current
levels of service. As such, the previous methodology was maintained in the calculation of the
updated impact fees for Fire/Rescue and Police services. However, the methodology was revised
slightly for residential developments to produce an impact fee based upon building square-footages
as opposed to a flat fee for each residential unit, as was previously used.
Fire/rescue services
Level of Service Standard
The City of Winter Springs Fire Department defines the level of service provided to the
citizens of the City in terms of average response time. Currently, the Fire Department
criteria for an average response time consists of one (1) minute for call processing, one (1)
minute for vehicle turnout time, and four (4) minutes for the arrival of the first fire unit for
ninety percent (90%) of all incident calls. Additionally, all units responding to a call are
required to arrive within eight (8) minutes from vehicle turnout. The Department has
concluded that this current level of service is adequate for future service and will therefore
be maintained as the basis for determination of Fire/Rescue impact fees.
Capital Asset Inventory (CAI)
In order to determine a fair impact fee amount, it is necessary to determine the present day
value of the public facilities required to provide the currently adopted level of service.
Determination of the present day value of existing facilities incorporates a time-price
differential into the calculations by assigning a replacement value equal to the cost of
replacing a facility today rather than the cost of the facility at the time of its
construction/purchase. The data used in determining the present day value of the capital
.
.
.
facilities comprising the Winter Springs FirelRescue services were provided through the
City of Winter Springs Fire Department and through the Limited Appraisal - Restricted
Report prepared by Clayton, Roper and Marshall dated July 31, 2002. Copies of the data
and report used in the preparation of this analysis are contained within Appendix "A".
The City of Winter Springs owns and operates two fire stations located at 102 North Moss
Road (Station 24) and at 850 Northern Way (Station 26). The landfor a third station,
approximately 1.5 acres, has also been acquired. In addition to the two stations, the City of
Winter Springs Fire Department owns, operates and maintains fourteen (14) vehicles
consisting of eight (8) cars/SUV's, three (3) fire engines, and three (3) rescue vehicles.
Beyond the direct costs for equipment and facilities, the land values and fair market value
of existing structures and improvements are included as capital expenditures associated
with the provision of FirelRescue service.
Based upon the information provided and documented in Appendix "A", the current
replacement values for capital expenditures associated with the provision of FirelRescue
service at the ado ted/current level of service is indicated in the follow in table.

2 - Facility buildings and contents values as provided by Coregis audit, 2000.
3 - Facilities design fees estimated by Land Design Innovations, Inc.
4 - FirelRescue vehicle values as provided by City of Winter Springs Fire Department.
Therefore, the total Capital Asset Inventory (CAI) is equal to $3,215,852.00 for FirelRescue
service. Supporting documentation for the values listed above is contained in Appendix
"A".
Service Requirements per Land Use
In order to apportion an equal and fair share of the costs for the capital improvements
necessary to provide the adopted level of service, the percentage of the Fire/Rescue public
service required to support residential and non-residential land uses is required. These
percentages are then applied to apportion a fair share of the capital improvement costs to
new development for each type of land use. Incident call report summaries provided by the
City of Winter Springs Fire Department were used in the determination of the land use call
percentages. In reviewing the incident call summaries, it is noted that there were a total of
3,210 calls for the period of 1/1/01 to 12/31/01. Of these calls, 756 were not attributable to
definite land uses but rather to traffic calls, assistance calls from other jurisdictions, open
land, etc. These calls were eliminated from the call sample data such that only calls
attributable to residential or non-residential land use were counted. The result was 2,454 calls
attributable to residential or non-residential land uses within the City. Copies of the
supporting data are included in Appendix "A" of this report.
Percent Residential Calls (RC)
Based upon the call records provided in the Incident Summary Report for 1/1/01-12/31/01, it has
been determined that there were a total of 1,884 fixed residential property calls. These calls
.
.
.
represent approximately 77% of the total fixed property calls reported to the City of Winter
Springs Fire Department.
Percentage of Non-residential Calls (NC)
Based upon the call records provided in the Incident Summary Report for 1/1/01-12/31/01, it has
been determined that there were a total of 570 fixed non-residential property calls. These calls
represent approximately 23% of the total fixed property calls reported to the City of Winter
Springs Fire Department.
Apportioning Costs to New Development
The methodology previously used by the City of Winter Springs in determining an impact
fee for Fire/Rescue public services was based upon an Equivalent Residential Unit. This
methodology was revised to base the impact fee analysis on a building square-footage basis
for both residential and non-residential land uses. This method of apportioning costs
provides for a more equitable distribution of the impact fee amount. The determination of
the total puilding square-footage for residential and non-residential land uses was prepared
using the Seminole County Property Appraiser's GIS Database.
Residential Square Footage (RSF)
The total building square-footage for residential land uses within the City of Winter Springs was
determined through the Seminole County Property Appraiser's GIS Database. The total quantity
of residential square-footage (RSF) was determined to be 28,721,992 square-feet as of January
2002.
Non-Residential Square Footage (NSF)
The total building square footage for non-residential land uses within the City of Winter Springs
was determined through the Seminole County Property Appraiser's Parcel GIS Database. The
total quantity of non-residential square-footage (NSF) was determined to be 779,841 square-feet
as of January 2002.
FirelRescue Impact Fee Calculation
The required impact fee assessment for Fire/Rescue services is based upon the total costs of
the capital facilities and equipment costs required to provide the adopted level of service.
The impact fee was designed to address the proposed land use and size of development
proposed. As such, the fire/rescue public safety facilities impact fee to be paid prior to or in
conjunction with the issuance of a building permit shall be levied based upon the following
formula and in the following amounts:
Residential
(CAI x RC)/RSF=Cost per residential square-foot
($3,215,852 x 0.77)/28,721,992 = $0.086 per residential square-foot
Non- Residential
(CAI x NC)/NSF=Cost per non-residential square-foot
.

Determination of Appropriate Credits
According to the records of the City of Winter Springs finance department, a total of
$473,694.00 of bond money was used to finance capital improvements for the fire
department. As new development will be required to pay impact fees for capital
improvements to offset service demand created by their development and to also assist in
retiring these bonds for past capital improvements, a credit is due. The following table
details the credit due. A detailed description of the calculation of this credit is contained in
Section F of this report.

Additionally, it should be noted that Sec. 7.54 of Winter Springs Code of Ordinance
provides for a reduction for sprinkled buildings. This reduction is 100% of the fire impact
fee for sprinkled residential buildings and a 5% reduction of the fire impact fee for sprinkled
commercial buildings.
PolicelLaw Enforcement services
Level of Service Standard
The City of Winter Springs Police Department currently defines the level of service
provided to the citizens of the City in terms of the number of officers versus the population
served and in terms of average response time. The determination of Police impact fees will
be based upon the average response time/number of incident calls. The national
recommendation for number of officers to population served is 2.1 officers per 1000 capita.
The City of Winter Springs currently maintains 1.7 officers per 1000 capita.
In terms of response time, the Police Department maintains an average response time of
three and one half (3.5) minutes for emergency calls and five (5) minutes for non-
.
.
.
emergency calls. The Department has concluded that this current level of service is
adequate for future service and will therefore be maintained as the basis for determination
of Police impact fees.
Capital Asset Inventory (CAI)
In order to determine a fair impact fee amount, it is necessary to determine the present day
value of the public facilities required to provide the currently adopted level of service.
Determination of the present day value of existing facilities incorporates a time-price
differential into the calculations by assigning a replacement value equal to the cost of
replacing a facility today rather than the cost of the facility at the time of its
construction/purchase. The data used in determining the present day value of the capital
facilities comprising the Winter Springs Police services were provided through the City of
Winter Springs Police Department and through the Limited Appraisal - Restricted Report
prepared by Clayton, Roper and Marshall dated! July 31, 2002. Copies of the data and
report used in the preparation of this analysis are contained within Appendix "A".
The City of Winter Springs operates one police station servicing the entire City which is
located at 300 North Moss Road. In addition to the single police station, the City of Winter
Springs Police Department owns, operates and maintains fifty-eight (58) marked police
vehicles and one (1) command post vehicle. Beyond the direct costs for equipment and
facilities, the land values and fair market value of existing structures and improvements
are included as capital expenditures associated with the provision of Police service to the
citizens of Winter Springs.
Based upon the information provided and documented in Appendix "A", the current
replacement values for capital expenditures associated with the provision of Police service
at the ado ted/current level of service is indicated in the followin table.

C~ty of Winter Springs Police Department were used in the determination of the land use
call percentages. In reviewing the incident call summaries, it is noted that there were a total
of 30,457 calls for the period of 1/1/01 to 12/31/01. Of these calls, 13,785 were not
attributable to definite land uses but rather to traffic citation, traffic calls, written
.
.

warnings, etc. These calls were eliminated from the call sample data such that only calls
attributable to residential or non-residential land use were counted. The result was 16,672
calls attributable to residential or non-residential land uses within the City. Copies of the
supporting data are included in Appendix "A" of this report.
Percent Residential Calls (RC)
Based upon the call records provided in the Winter Springs Police Department Calls for Service
for 1/1/01-12/31/01, it was determined that there were a total of 11,710 fixed residential property
calls. These calls represent approximately 70% of the total fixed property calls reported to the
City of Winter Springs Police Department.
Percentage of Non-residential Calls (NC)
Based upon the call records provided in the Winter Springs Police Department Calls for Service
for 1/1/01-12/31/01, it was determined that there were a total of 4,962 fixed non-residential
property calls. These calls represent approximately 30% of the total fixed property calls reported
to the City of Winter Springs Police Department.
Apportioning Costs to New Development
The methodology previously used by the City of Winter Springs in determining an impact
fee for Police public services was based upon Equivalent Residential Unit comparisons.
This methodology was revised to base the impact fee analysis on a building square-footage
"basis for both residential and non-residential land uses. This method of apportioning costs
provides for a more equitable distribution of the impact fee amount. The determination of
the total building square-footage for residential and non-residential land uses was prepared
using the Seminole County Property Appraiser's GIS Database.
Residential Square Footage (RSF)
The total building square-footage for residential land uses (RSF) within the City of Winter
Springs was determined through the Seminole County Property Appraiser's GIS Database. The
total quantity of residential land use building square-footage was determined to be 28,721,992
square-feet as of January 2002.
Non-Residential Square Footage (NSF)
The total building square-footage for non-residential land uses (NSF) within the City of Winter
Springs was determined through the Seminole County Property Appraiser's Parcel GIS
Database. The total quantity of non-residential land use building square-footage was determined
to be 779,841 square-feet as of January 2002.
Police Impact Fee Calculation
The required impact fee assessment for Police services is based upon the total costs of the
capital facilities and equipment costs required to provide the adopted level of service. The
impact fee was design to address the proposed land use and size of development proposed.
As such, the police public safety facilities impact fee to be paid prior to or in conjunction
.

with the issuance of a building permit shall be levied based upon the following formula and
in the following amounts:
Residential
(CAI x RC)/RSF=Cost per residential square-foot
($4,618,271 x 0.70)/28,721,992 = $0.113 per residential square-foot
Non-Residential

Parks & Recreation
Level of Service Standard
The City of Winter Springs Parks and Recreation Department currently defines the level of
service provided to the citizens of the City in terms of the number of acres of parkland
versus the population served. The City of Winter Springs adopted level of service is five (5)
acres of parkland for every 1000 capita. Additional details on Parks and Recreation level of
service standards are provided within the Winter Springs Comprehensive Plan. The Parks
and Recreation Department currently exceeds this level of service and has concluded that
.
.
.
this level of service is adequate for future service and will therefore be maintained. There
are currently no overall parkland deficiencies within the City.
Capital Asset Inventory (CAI)
In order to determine a fair impact fee amount, it is necessary to determine the present day
value of the public facilities required to provide the currendy adopted level of service. The
data used in determining the present day value of the capital facilities comprising the Winter
Springs Parks and Recreation facilities were provided through the City of Winter Springs
Parks and Recreation Department. Copies of the data provided are contained within
Appendix "A".
The City of Winter Springs owns, operates and maintains eleven (11) park related facilities
within the City limits. These facilities provide both passive and active recreational uses. In
addition to the direct facilities costs, the cost for land acquisition was also included as a
capital expenditures associated with the provisions of parks and recreational facilities.
Based upon the information provided by the City of Winter Springs Parks and Recreation
Department and through the J...jmited Appraisal- Restricted Report prepared by Clayton, Roper
and Marshall dated July 31, 2002, the current replacement values for capital expenditures
associated with the provision of parks and recreational services at the adopted/current level

Service Requirements per Land Use
Parks and recreational facilities typically service residential land uses only. Non-residential land uses
are not anticipated to place additional demand on park facilities. As such, the capital improvement
costs associated with the provision of parks and recreational services is attributable solely to
residential land uses. Consequently, impact fees for the provision of parks and recreational facilities
is born by residential development only.
Apportioning Costs to New Development
The methodology used in preparing the parks impact fee analysis apportioned costs to residential
land uses on a s9uare-foot basis. In addition to apportioning costs to residential development, it is
necessary to track the source of the park impact fees paid. Tracking the parks impact fee is
necessary due to the nature of the parks related improvements. The parks system consists of
community and neighborhood parks. While the ~ommunity parks serve the entire Winter Springs
community, neighborhood parks are project specific and serve only a localized area. As such,
impact fees spent on community parks can be spent throughout the City while impact fees spent
on neighborhood parks must be spent within the vicinity of the development which paid the
impact fee. To track this matter, the City has been divided into four quadrants, see Figure 1. The
dividing lines for the quadrants are State Road 434 and Tuscawilla Road. These dividing lines
were chosen because they represent natural divisions from a neighborhood park perspective.
Neighborhood parks are designed to service a localized area and as such m~ch of the use is from
children which travel to the parks via bicycle, walking, etc. Major thoroughfares such as S.R. 434
and. Tuscawilla Road present natural boundaries for children and thus were used to define the
four districts. Impact fees from new development spent on neighborhood parks must therefore be
spent within the district where the new development is located. The tracking of which District the
Park impact fee originated from is therefore critical.
Parks and Recreation Impact Fee Calculation
The required impact fee assessment for Parks and Recreation services is based upon the total costs
of the capital facilities and equipment costs required to provide the adopted level of service. The
impact fee was determined to address the proposed land use and size of development proposed. As
such, the Parks and Recreation impact fee to be paid prior to or in conjunction with the issuance
of a building permit shall be levied based upon the following formula and in the following
amounts:
Residential
CAI/RSF=Cost per residential square-foot
23,954,202.36/28,721,992 = $0.834 per residential square-foot
Legend: CAI = Capital Asset Inventory
RSF = Total Square-Footage of Residential Buildings
Determination of Appropriate Credits
According to the records of the City of Winter Springs finance department, a total of $9,101,321.00
of bond money was used to finance capital improvements for the parks and recreation department.
As new development will be required to pay impact fees for capital improvements to offset service
demand created by their development and to also assist in retiring these bonds for past capital
improvements, a credit is due. The table below details the credit due. A detailed description of the
calculation of this credit is contained in Section F of this report.

In addition to the credit indicated in the table above, the City will be required to calculate the
appropriate credit associated with the assessed millage rate for payment of the '02 bond. See Section
F(3) for additional details.
Determination of appropriate credits
According to the records of the City of Winter Springs finance department, a total of $21,338,970.00
in bonds has been issued by the City. Portions of these bonds were devoted to capital improvement
projects for the provision of police, fire/rescue, and parks and recreations services. A breakdown of
the bond amounts and other bond related information is detailed in the table below:
.
Bond Bond Maturity Paid By
Amount Date
'93 Bond $9,365,000 2018 PST/FF
'99 Bond $7,998,970 2029 PST/FF
'02 Bond $3,400,000 2032 VDS
PST /FF: Public Service Taxes/Franchise Fees
VDS: Voter Debt Service (0.25 millage rate applied to property value)
Records from the City of Winter Springs indicate that the average assessed PST /FF per customer
has increased every year from 1997 to 2001 with a maximum average assessment of $309.00 per
customer in 2001. The percentage of the PST IFF assessment devoted to retiring the '93 and '99
bonds is 50% or $151.50. The remaining 50% of these fees is allocated to the City's general fund.
Half of the $151.50 ($75.75) from PST/FF is split and devoted to retiring the '93 and '99 bonds.
The following calculations describe the dollar amount of the PST IFF devoted to retiring that
portion of each bond related to capital improvement projects.

The dollar amount determined in section (c) above is collected over the life of the bond. Therefore, the
sum of these payments represents the credit due toward the payment of impact fees. Payments received
in the future have a lower dollar amount in the present. The difference between the future and present
value is interest. Therefore, the present value of a series of payments over a number of years must be
calculated to determine the actual credit to the impact fee. For the purposes of calculating the present
day value, an interest rate of 7% is assumed. The following two tables identify the credits due for impact
fee payments between 2003 and 2007 to offset the fees assessedto retire the '93 and '99 bonds.

In addition to the '99 bond, 100% of the 2002 bond, an amount of $3,400,000, was entirely devoted
to capital improvement projects for parks and recreation facilities. This bond is being retired
through a 0.25 millage rate assessed on property values. As such, payments made over the life of
the bond on an individual property value basis must be summed and modified to represent
present day value and reimbursed as an additional credit to that listed in the table above. The
present day value of the sum of payments over the life of the bond is equal to the dollar amount of
the current annual payment multiplied by the appropriate Present Day Value Factor (see the table
above or Table 1 in the Appendix).
