Chapter 14 – Building Code

(3) Impact fees shall be imposed as a condition of approval of any building
permit for the subject land development and full payment thereof must be
made to the Village within fourteen days of the issuance of such building
permit.

(f) Other Means of Financing Improvements Reserved. Pursuant to Section
66.0617 (2)(b), Wis. Stats., the imposition of impact fees under this section does
not prohibit or limit the Village’s authority to finance public facilities by any other
means authorized by law.

(g) Administration.

(1) Segregated Account. There is hereby established a park facility impact fee
fund, which shall be placed in a segregated, interest-bearing account and
shall be accounted for separately from all other funds of the Village.

(2) Expenditures. Impact fee revenues and interest earned thereon may be
expended only for the particular capital costs for which the impact fee was
imposed, unless the fee is refunded as provided under subsection (3).
Funds shall not be used for maintenance nor to address any existing
deficiencies in any public facilities at the time of enactment.

(3) Refund of Impact Fees. Any impact fees collected under this section, and
all interest earned thereon, which is not expended or committed for
expenditure within 7 years from the date the impact fee was paid, shall be
refunded to the current owner of the property, unless by Board Resolution
the Village extends this period for up to an additional three years due to
specified extenuating circumstances or hardship.

(4) The expenditure and use of the impact fee shall be under the control and
supervision of the Village Board. The Village’s annual budget summary,
required under §65.90, Wis. Stats., shall include revenue and expenditure
totals for each impact fee fund.

(h) Appeal.

(1) Any person upon whom an impact fee is imposed, may, within 15 days of
the imposition of the impact fee, contest the amount, collection, or use of
the impact fee by filing a written request with the Village Clerk which
describes the nature of the appeal, provides supporting documentation, and
specifies the basis upon which the appeal is made.
