History of County Impact Fee with City
~
Since 1989 Flagler County had countywide ("County")
transportation impact fees in two districts (East and West).
~
After Palm Coast became a City, the County still had countywide
("County") transportation impact fees.
~
In 2000, just months after Palm Coast became a City, the Board of
County Commissioners and the Palm Coast City Council entered
into an agreement laying out how the County fees would be spent.
~
In September 2004, Palm Coast adopted their own City impact
fees and opted out of County impact fees. (Almost 5 years)
3
Interlocal Terms
~
Addressed many administrative issues.
~
Exempted City from fees and City from some
liabi lities.
~
Spelled out which roads the monies could be
spent on both inside and outside the City.

What initiated a need for the
Interchange
~
A major fire in 1985 spread through Bunnell,
Palm Coast, and Korona
Destroyed 131 homes
Damaged another 200 homes
~ 1998 Wildfires
Population 47,043
These wildfire destroyed 71 homes
Damaged another 175 homes
Burned over 131 square miles
These fires are not rare events in Flagler County.
After 1 998 Fires
~
Evacuation planning by County Officials began to
focus on an additional access to 1-95 at Matanzas
Woods Parkway. (Population in 1998 - 47,043)
~
As a result, FOOT conducted a study in 2000 titled
Transportation Planning Analysis for Potential
1- 95 Interchange in Flagler County.
~
As demonstrated last year, wildfires and
evacuations still remain a real threat.

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR

Federal Highway Administmtion
Oel1llemen:
As Mayor of the City of Palm Coast' please accept this letter as our SUI'port fOI' the proposed
Matanzas Woods Parkway Jnterehange with 1·95. The eonslmelloll of Ihis interchnnge will
p!'Ovide additional regional access to our growing conllnunity, while Ine.'Casing available
emergency evacuation roules to Ihe popUlation. Both State and Federal DOT and local officials
have maqe this the County's lop infmstn.cture priority. As a coastal County, Flagler Counly is
naturally vulnerable to hurricanes. Further, the City of Palm Coost, and Flagler County as a
whole, expericnce a hazardous dry season every year subject to lhe spread of wild fires. In 1985
a major wildfire spread IIu'Ough Bunnell, Palm Coast, and Korona, destroying 131 homes and
damaging another 200 homes. TI.enagain In 1998 wild fh'CS inlhe area deslroyed 71 homes,
damaged another 175 homes, and burned over 131 square miles. Almost Ihe entire COImty was
required to evacuate.
nased on the most current census population estimates Ihrough 2009 the Flagler County
population has grown almost 84% sillce the year 2000. Yet 0111' regional aecess to 1·95 has
remained unchanged. Even with Ihe current economic climate, growth is expected to continue in
FIRglerCollnty. 11.e University oCFlol'ida has pl'Ojected that Flagle.· County will grow by 109%
over the next 25 years. [n facl, there is a significant 81UOl\lll of developmenl that is planned
within the cities of Palm Coast and Bunnell (Palm Coasl Park, HanUlwck Dunes, and Old Brick
Township), within the vicinity of tile proposed"interchange location. These developments will
put a significant additional blnden on Ihe regional roadway system, and more importantly on the
existing interehanb>e of Palm Coos I Parkway and 1·95.
We stlppOli the pI'O)lOSed interchange to address existing delllonds Cor regional access in our
community, and the long·tem1 viabilily of 0111' commllnity. .

Re: Matanzas Woods Parkway at 1-95 Interchange
Dear Jim:
As you mayor may not be aware, Flagler County has entered an agreement with the Flbrida Department
of Transportation regarding the above-referenced project. The agreement is to conduct an Interchange
Justification Report (lJR) as money permits. We were successful in bringing in $205,000 into the project
through a federal apprppriation.
Currently, the County is in contract negotiations. with the engineering rum Keith & Schnars to perform
the study. This firm has completed two of four IJR's that have resulted in new 1-95 interchanges being
authorized by the Federal Highway Administration in the last five years. The anticipated fee for their
professional services will be in the range of $450,000 to $500,000, for the expected IS-month project
duration.
Understanding the importance of the interchange project to Palm Coast, I would like to pursue any
opportunity with the City to overcome the apparent funding shprtfall. It is our understanding that
approximately $250,000 was specifically ~et aside yvith an 'acljOi~ipg PalIn Coast Park DR! (attached).
Please contact me in order that a meeting can be scheduled with City/County staff and anyone else who
may be appropriate .
.
Sincerely,
b~'~
