[Amended 10-13-2022 by L.L. No. 25-2022]
The Village hereby establishes a Community Benefit Fund, the
purposes of which shall be to provide funds to benefit the residents
of the Village by providing for landscaping, beautification, maintenance,
and safety of Village property, and to otherwise enhance the operations
and services of the Village for the benefit of the residents of the
Village.
[Amended 6-21-2022 by L.L. No. 10-2022]
In addition to such other fees as may be required for the granting
of a subdivision application, every grant of a subdivision shall include
the requirement that the developer pay to the Community Benefit Fund
2 3/4% of the fair market value of all of the lots within the
subdivision, based upon their value after the granting of the subdivision
application, excluding, however, the fair market value of any buildings
located thereon.
In the event that the applicant for the subdivision does not
agree with the Planning Board’s determination of said fair market
value, then, and in that event, at the option of the applicant, to
be exercised within 15 days after the Planning Board’s determination
of said fair market value, the applicant may request, in writing,
to the Village Clerk that the Planning Board engage an independent
appraiser, at the applicant’s sole cost and expense, to be chosen
by the Planning Board, to provide the Planning Board with an appraisal
to assist it in its determination of said fair market value. If said
request is not received by the Village Clerk, in writing, within said
fifteen-day period, the applicant’s option to obtain said appraisal
shall be deemed waived.
