8.2.3  Payment of Fees in Lieu of Required Improvements

(A)     Any owner or developer who is required to dedicate or install off-site improvements pursuant to Section 8.2.2 above may make a payment of fees in lieu of such improvements, or part thereof, provided that the Town Council or Planning and Zoning Board approves such, as part of approving the site plan, upon determining that such improvements are not necessary or desirable at the time but will be needed in the future.  This section shall not apply, however, to street improvements, which are governed by the fee provisions in Section 8.1.5(D).

(B)     The amount of any such payment shall be 100 percent of the actual installation and construction cost of such improvements, as estimated by a registered professional engineer selected by the applicant and approved by the Town Engineer. The amount paid for a given street frontage shall be considered total and complete payment for the improvements considered, and shall preclude the Town from assessing that frontage for additional fees in the event that the Town elects to install such improvements along that frontage at a later date.

(C)     Such payment shall be obligated by a letter of agreement executed by the owner or developer prior to the issuance of any environmental permit or building permit pursuant to an approved site plan, whichever is earlier. Full payment shall be made before the Engineering Department may issue any Certificate of Occupancy for any use covered by the site plan.
