Board directs attorney to draft revisions to park and school impact fees, recommends $900 park fee
Summary
President Meyer presented a new fee methodology based on residential water accounts and an estimate that 77% of school district students live in the Village; trustees directed the attorney to draft an ordinance, including a proposed $900 park impact fee and review of tap-in fee swaps.
President Meyer described a review of the Village’s park and school impact fees, saying she recalculated fees using residential water-billing accounts and a district-supplied enrollment estimate that suggested about 77% of students live in Beecher. She also said the analysis considered bedroom counts when estimating school impacts and acreage-per-subdivision when estimating park needs.
Trustee Kraus asked about prior discussions concerning swapping water and sewer tap-in fee amounts, and trustees emphasized the fee changes must be legally defensible to builders. The board voted to direct the Village Attorney to draft an ordinance amending new residential permit fees, including a park impact fee set at $900 as reflected in the provided spreadsheet; the motion passed 5–0.
