Trustees direct ordinance for 90-day moratorium on park and school impact fees
Summary
The Village Board unanimously directed the Village Attorney to draft an ordinance to extend a 90-day moratorium limited to park and school impact fees while staff and the School District review updated fee schedules; inspection and tap‑in fees remain in effect.
President Meyer opened discussion on fees after noting a moratorium that had paused some building permit‑related fees expired at the end of 2024. He told the Board that Lennar Homes closed on lots in Hunter's Chase East shortly before the moratorium expired and contractors have asked the Village for relief on fees.
Trustee Tieri moved and Trustee Stacey seconded a motion "directing the Village Attorney to draft an ordinance to extend the moratorium on park and school impact fees for 90 days." The motion passed unanimously, with all six trustees voting yes. The board noted tap‑in fees would still apply and inspection fees have already been updated. President Meyer said the 90‑day window would give staff time to research appropriate impact‑fee levels and allow the School District to produce updated school impact fees based on current property values.
The Board did not set a public hearing at the meeting; next steps listed were drafting the ordinance and receiving the School District’s recommendations on school impact fees. No dollar figures for potential fee changes were provided at the meeting.
