Century Approves Fees For Some Future Businesses
July 7, 2009
Opening a business along Highway 29 or East Highway 4 in Century could now cost more, especially for a larger, higher-traffic business. Businesses that choose to open along Highway 29 or State Road 4 in Century could be looking at an impact fee to build turn lanes and provide for other traffic control measures.
Under an ordinance the town approved Monday night, an ordinance that town consultant Debbie Nickles says is required by the state to upgrade roads, a study would be done to determine what level of vehicle traffic could be expected to be generated by the new business.
Nickles said the bottom line cost would be decided on a “case by case” basis using a formula determined by the State of Florida.
The council held the second reading of the ordinance and approved it 5-0 Monday night.
