[Ord. No. 99-05-17-05 §§ 1
— 9, 6-1-1999; Ord.
No. 2004-02-09-07 § 1, 2-9-2004]
A.
It is the intent of this Section to impose a street impact fee, payable
with the issuance of a building permit for all single- or multi-family
construction unless paid pursuant to applicable development agreement,
and this fee shall be assessed to each dwelling unit.
B.
The street impact fee shall basically be determined by comparing
the probable total number of dwelling units within one (1) square
mile to the cost of construction of one (1) mile of collector grade
street, and thus creating an assignable cost per dwelling unit. The
fee is further developed as follows:
1.
The density for single-family dwelling units is 3.0 to 3.5 units
per acre.
2.
The density for medium density multi-family dwelling units is
4.0 to 5.0 units per acre.
3.
The density for high density multi-family dwelling units is
6.0 to 12.0 units per acre.
4.
The average density to be used for fee determination is 3.5
units per acre.
5.
The spacing for collector grade streets is considered to be
one (1) mile.
6.
The construction cost for a collector grade street is initially
set at one hundred dollars ($100.00) per linear foot or five hundred
twenty-eight thousand dollars ($528,000.00) per mile.
7.
The pro rata cost is three hundred fifty-four dollars ($354.00)
per dwelling unit.
C.
The City Engineer for the City of Greenwood shall monitor the construction
cost of collector streets in the greater Kansas City area and shall
adjust the linear foot cost each year in the month of January and
establish the impact fee for that year.
D.
The City shall place all fees collected under this Section in a dedicated
account or fund which shall be used solely for the construction, or
repair, or maintenance of City streets. Moneys from this account or
fund may be used for the construction, or repair, or maintenance of
any City street within the City without regard to proximity to any
new dwelling construction.
E.
The City may contribute partial costs for the construction of a street
from this account when insufficient funds exist to fully construct
the street, and is allowed to provide additional funding through any
means at its disposal; however, the City may claim reimbursement for
such additional funding from future deposits that may be made to the
account.
F.
This Section is intended to establish a street system user's fee, or street impact fee, which shall be imposed on all new residential single- and multi-family construction within the City. This Section does not intend to levy a "tax" or "fee" as such term is used in Article X, Section 22, of the Missouri Constitution.
G.
Applicability.
1.
This Section shall not be applicable to building permits necessary
for:
a.
Room additions, remodeling, rehabilitation or other improvement
to an existing structure, provided there is no increase in the number
of dwelling units created thereby.
b.
Rebuilding or replacing of a damaged or destroyed structure,
provided there is no increase in the number of dwelling units created
therein.
c.
Change in occupancy or use, provided there is no increase in
the number of dwelling units created therein.
2.
This Section shall be applicable to building permits for new
residential housing whether single-family or multi-family, all of
which is considered to increase demands placed on the City's street
system.
H.
Escrow Agreements. With respect to escrow funds, the City and developer
shall enter into an escrow agreement. The City shall maintain any
escrow funds in a separate account established for public improvements.
Said account shall earn interest at the rate earned on the City's
pooled cash in accordance with City investment policy. If necessary
improvements have not been constructed within ten (10) years after
the date the City accepts the escrow funds, upon written request of
the developer, the City may return the escrow funds to developer.
I.
Appeal. The developer may appeal the amount of impact fee or escrow
funds assessed as a condition of this development by filing a notice
of appeal with the City Clerk within thirty (30) days following approval
of the development agreement by the City Council. If the developer
fails to appeal the amount of the impact fee or escrow funds within
thirty (30) days, the amount of the escrow funds shall be final and
no appeal shall be heard. The developer shall have the burden of proof
in any appeal to demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that
the amount of the impact fee was not calculated in accordance with
the provisions of this Section or is not reasonably related to the
impact of the proposed development on the City's street network. After
reviewing evidence submitted by the developer, the City Engineer shall
make a recommendation concerning the appeal to the City Council, which
shall consider the evidence and make a final decision.
[Ord. No. 99-09-20-11 § 10, 11-2-1999; Ord. No. 2016-2915 § 6, 9-30-2016]
