Chapter 14 – Building Code

(8) “Needs Assessment” means the assessment of needs required by section
66.0617, Wis. Stats.

(9) “REU” means one residential housing (dwelling) unit. Each single-family
residential unit constitutes one REU, regardless of whether such unit is
located in within a one-family, multi-family, condominium, cooperative,
rental, or owner-occupied unit. For example, a single family house would
constitute one REU, a duplex would constitute two REUs, and a six family
apartment building would constitute six REUs. Facilities such as nursing
homes, community based residential care facilities (CBRFs) or residential
care apartment complexes (RCACs), as defined by statute, whether for-
profit or not-for-profit, and state prisons or penal facilities, which include
living space for five or more patients or residents and which are intended
for long-term or permanent residential purposes, shall not constitute
residential development for purposes of imposing impact fees under this
section.

(d) Needs Assessment. The “Public Facility Needs Assessment Park Impact Fee For
The Village Of Sturtevant, Racine County, Wisconsin,” dated April, 2005, as it
may be amended and supplemented from time to time, is hereby approved and
incorporated by reference. A copy of this document and any amendments or
addenda thereto shall be available for inspection in the Village Clerk’s office, and
shall be the basis for the impact fee imposed pursuant to this section.

(e) Impact Fees. Any developer creating or constructing any land development
within the Village shall pay a fee to the Village pursuant to this subsection to help
defray the capital costs necessary to accommodate the land development.

(1) Residential Development. Residential development shall mean land
development resulting in the construction or creation of new REUs within
the Village. For each REU to be constructed or created by the proposed
development, a residential developer shall pay a park facility impact fee in
the amount of $1,250.00 per REU.

(2) The Village may adjust the number of REUs assigned, or the Impact Fee
imposed, based upon satisfactory evidence from the developer that such an
adjustment is justified, and shall adjust impact fees to account for
contributions to the cost of public improvements from other funding
sources.
