Notice is hereby given that the following changes have been made to the proposed rule in accordance with subparagraph 120.54(3)(d)1., F.S., published in Vol. 36 No. 27, July 9, 2010 issue of the Florida Administrative Weekly.

In response to comments from the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee, paragraph 14-85.022(2)(a), F.A.C., is being amended to clarify the cap on Logo permit fees and is modified as follows:

(a) The following charts show the groupings for both AADT and population. Annual fees for participation in the Logo Sign Program are computed based upon the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) at each interchange, the population of the area surrounding the interchange, market conditions, and the costs of the program. The following charts show the groupings for both AADT and population:

AADT Grouping
>	<=	Group
0	30,000	0
30,000	75,000	1
75,000	175,000	2
175,000		3
Population Grouping
>=	<	Group
0	5,000	1
5,000	~~50,000~~	2
~~50,000~~	~~200,000~~	3
~~200,000~~	~~500,000~~	4
~~500,000~~		5

The following chart shows the weighted values assigned to each factor:

Fee Formula Factors
AADT	230 ~~600~~
Population	400
Cost	1000

The fee for each interchange is computed as follows:

(AADT Group x AADT Factor) + (Population Group x Population Factor) + Cost Factor

Under no circumstances shall calculated fee exceed $3500.00 for an interchange in an urban area, or $2500.00 for an interchange outside an urban area.

EXAMPLE: For an interchange with an AADT of 60,000 and a population of 75,000, the fee is computed as follows:

AADT Group = 1

Population Group = 2 3

(1 x 230 ~~600~~) + (2 3 x 400) + 1000 = $2,030 ~~$2,800~~

The fees calculated above are for a mainline logo sign and ramp logo signs in both directions of the interstate. At interchanges where the configuration only allows access to the business in a single direction, one mainline logo sign and one ramp logo sign will be provided and the fee will be one-half (1/2) that computed for both directions.
