(1) improvements which do not require an Improvement Location Permit;
(2) improvements which do not create a need for new and additional Parks and Recreation
Infrastructure, including the erection of a sign, construction of accessory buildings,
structures or fences or the alteration, renovation or expansion of an improvement where

improvement prior to the destruction or partial destruction thereof.
29.07.03 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan.
The Council hereby finds that, prior to`the adoption of this PRIF Ordinance, the Commission
undertook a comprehensive and detailed park and recreational impact analysis through the
employment for that purpose of a qualified engineer, and the resulting study and database were
used in the preparation of the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan as required by IC 36-7-4-
1318(d). The Council has heretofore adopted the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan and finds in
this regard that the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan does contain the following elements:
(a) Reasonable estimates relating to the nature of location of development that is expected within
the Impact Zone during the planning period, which, for the purposes of this PRIF
Ordinance is defined to be a period of eighteen (18) years commencing with the date of
adoption hereof.
(b) A reasonable determination of the community level of service for the Impact Zone.
(c) A reasonable determination of the current level of service provided within the Impact Zone.
(d) A reasonable estimate of the nature, location, sequencing, and timing of the park and
recreational improvements and costs necessary to provide the community level of service
for the developments contemplated in Subparagraph (a) hereof.
(e) A reasonable estimate of the share of the park and recreational costs identified in
Subparagraph (d) hereof that will be used to:
(1) Raise the current level of service for existing development or provide service to
existing development; or
(2) Provide service to new development.
(f) A reasonable estimate of revenues that:
(1) Are from sources other than impact fees; and,
(2) Will be used to finance the costs identified in Subparagraph (e) (1) above.

(g) A description of the nature and location of existing infrastructure in the Impact Zone.
(h) A general description of the sources and amounts of money used to pay for infrastructure
during the previous five years.
In addition, the Council has specifically adopted the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan as an
official part of the Carmel/Clay Comprehensive Ptan pursuant to IC 36-7-4-500 et seq.
29.7.4 Establishment of Impact Fee.
Based upon the Park and Recreation Master Plan and 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan
previously referred to and which is made a part of this PRIF Ordinance, the Council determines
that the impact costs, minus the sum of non-local revenues and impact deductions (as defined in
IC 36-7-4-1321), equal the amount of Five Hundred Twenty-seven Dollars ($527.00) per
equivalent. dwelling unit, and that, therefore, the impact fee to be imposed on every development
subject to this PRIF Ordinance shall equal the product of:
(a) Five Hundred Twenty-seven Dollars ($527.00) ,times
(h) the number of equivalent dwelling units to be constructed pursuant to the improvement
location permit obtained by the fee payer.
The Council does hereby make a part of the record of these proceedings, all of the data collected,
the calculations made, and the conclusions reached by the Commission in the process of
developing the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan, and specifically instructs the Director to make
such data and other information inclusively available to anyone for review during regular business
hours. In the event that any parcel of real estate considered in the creation of the 2001-2006 Zone
Improvement Plan undergoes a change in use, redevelopment, or a modification which requires an
Improvement Location Permit, and creates a need for new infrastructure, an impact fee will be
assessed only for the increase in the burden on infrastructure.
29.07.05 Credit in Lieu of Payment; Exemptions.
Pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1335, any person obligated to pay a fee pursuant to the terms of this PRIF
Ordinance may be granted the option of financing, constructing and dedicating Parks and
Recreation Infrastructure instead of making all or part of any impact fee payment which may be
due, so long as such financing, construction and dedication are accomplished pursuant to the
2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan and with the consent and acceptance of the Parks Board.
Such fee payer, or other person providing the infrastructure or improvement, shall be allowed a
credit in an amount equal to the sum of:
(A)the actual cost of constructing or providing the infrastructure or improvements, plus
(B)the fair market value of the land, real property interest, and site improvements provided
The amount of the credit shall be determined by agreement (the "Credit Agreement") between the
person constructing or providing the infrastructure or improvement and the Parks Board. A fee
gayer shall make a request fox credit prior to the issuance of the Improvement Location Permit. In
the event the credit is less than the amount of the impact fee due pursuant to Section 29.07.04
above, the remaining balance shall be due in accordance with the provisions stated hereafter.
Credits against impact fees otherwise due shall be allowed pursuant to this Section for all
infrastructure and improvements constructed or furnished in accordance with IC 36-7-4-1313 and
IC 36-7-4-1335 since January 1, 1989. In addition, a fee payer or other person responsible for
installing infrastructure of improvements may designate in writing a method of allocating its
credits to future fee payers who may be successors in interest to the credits earned by the fee payer
or others, as part of the Credit Agreement provided for above. Any person otherwise obligated to
pay the fee established by this PRIF Ordinance whose property was totally or partially destroyed
by fire, storm or other casualty beyond his or her control, shall be exempt from said fee if such
person repairs or replaces the destroyed structures without creating a burden on Parks and
Recreation Infrastructure greater than the burden imposed by the destroyed structure. In the event

of such additional burden, the fee shall be calculated based only on the increased burden created
by the structure.
29.07.06 Impact Fee Due Upon Issuance of Improvement Location Permit.
The impact fee imposed pursuant to the terms of this PRIF Ordinance shall be due and payable
upon the issuance of an Improvement Location Permit. The entire fee which is calculated
pursuant to the terms of this PRIF Ordinance shall be due at said times unless the amount of the
fee upon calculation is greater than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000), in which case and installment
plan may be requested by the applicant in accordance with the terms set forth in IC 36-7-4-1324
(a), (b), (c), and (d). The Review Board shall establish specific rules consistent with said code
provisions for installment payments. The interest rate on any installment plan or deferred payment
shall be the pre judgment rate of interest set forth in the Indiana Code as from time-to-time
amended. If a fee payer requests, the amount of the impact fee shall be assessed upon the
voluntary submission of a development plan or upon the issuance of the Improvement Location
Permit, whichever is earlier. For purposes of this Section, "assessment" means the act of
calculating the amount of the impact fee which shall be due. The Director shall make such
assessment within thirty (30) days of the date of such voluntary request or at the issuance of the
Improvement Location Permit with or without a request.
29.07.07 Lien Rights Established.
Pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1325, the City of Carmel acquires a lien against the real estate which is the
subject of the impact fee. Upon adoption, this PRIF Ordinance shall be recorded, and, thereafter,
it shall constitute constructive notice of the lien rights of the City. The City may, in its discretion,
file a specific instrument setting forth its lien rights with respect to a parcel of real estate which is
the subject of an installment payment plan for an impact fee, and such instrument shall constitute
actual notice in addition to the constructive actual notice in addition to the constructive notice
provided for by the recording of this PRIF Ordinance.
29.07.08 Form of Receipt.
The Director shall issue a receipt for any and all impact fees collected, and the form of such
receipt shall be as follows:
Received of [fee payer], this [date] day of [month, year], the sum of $[amount] in

Whenever a member of the Review Board is unable to participate in any matter before the board
because of a conflict of interest, the Mayor shall appoint a temporary replacement member,
meeting the qualifications of the member being replaced, to serve on the board for the purpose of
hearing that matter only. The Review Board shall be governed by IC 36-7-4-1338(c) and all other
applicable provisions of the Impact Fee Statute. Any fee payer who believes itself to be aggrieved
by the calculation of an impact fee may appeal from such calculation to the Review Board and the
Review Board shall conduct a hearing with regard thereto. At such hearing, the fee payer shall
bear the burden of going forward with the evidence and shall present evidence addressing either of
the following propositions:
(a) A fact assumption used in determining the amount of the impact fee is incorrect; or
(b) The amount of the impact fee is greater than the amount allowed under IC 36-7-4-1320, IC 36-
8-4-1321, and IC 36-7-4-1322.
Upon conclusion of the presentation of evidence, the Review Board shall make a determination
within thirty (30) days, upon the facts presented and may make such adjustments in the impact fee
as it deems are appropriate under the circumstances, if any. An appeal under this Section 29.7.9
must be filed not later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of the Improvement Location Permit.
The appeal shall be initiated with the filing of a Petition of Review with the Director, together
with a filing fee in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100). The filing fee shall be refunded in
full:
(1) if the Petition of Review is granted and the impact fee is eliminated, reduced or adjusted by the
Review Board, by independent action of the Director, or by a court having jurisdiction,
and
(2) if the reviewing body determines that the amount of the fee, reductions, or credits were
arbitrary or capricious.
The Petition of Review shall be in a form calculated to inform the Review Board of the nature of
the complaint, the parties to the action, and the relief requested. In addition, the petition shall
describe the new development on which the impact fee has been assessed, all facts related to the
assessment of the impact fee, and the reasons the petitioner believes that the amount of the impact
fee assessed is erroneous or is greater than the amount allowed by the fee limitation set forth in the
Impact Fee Statute. The Director shall not deny the issuance of Improvement Location Permits on
the basis that the impact fee has not been paid, or condition issuance of the permit on the payment
of the impact fee. However, unless the impact fee exceeds One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), the
fee payer shall pay the impact .fee or initiate an appeal under this Section before being issued the
permit.
29.07.10 Establishment of Impact Fee Fund.
There is hereby established an Impact Fee Fund within the City of Carmel to receive any and all
sums collected pursuant to this PRIF Ordinance and any other Impact Fee Ordinance that may
hereafter be adopted, to be utilized in connection with the purposes set forth in Section 29.07.11
below. A special account shall be established in the fund for Parks and Recreation Infrastructure
which shall be kept separate from any other account that may hereafter be established in the fund
for other infrastructure types. In the event, and only in the event, that an additional Impact Zone
for Parks and Recreation Infrastructure is created hereafter, a separate account shall be maintained
for each separate Impact Zone established within the City of Carmel and Clay Township. Interest
earned on any such account shall be deposited and maintained within the separate account. The
Fiscal Officer shall manage the Impact Fee Fund according to the provisions of the Impact Fee
Statute and maintain records of the status of any such account. Pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1329, the
Fiscal Officer shall make an annual report to the Commission and the Parks Board of said
accounts which shall be available to the public in general and fee payers, upon request, in

particular. The right to any refund of an impact fee shall be determined strictly in accordance with
IC 36-7-4-1332,and the Fiscal Officer is designated, pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1332(e), as the official
responsible for acting upon any refund application that may be filed by fee payers. In order to
facilitate the payment of any refunds when they may be due, the Fiscal Officer is directed to
identify the purpose of any impact fee paid in order that a refund, if any, may be paid from the
account into which the fee was originally deposited.
29.07.11 Use of Impact Fees Collected.
Any and all fees collected pursuant to the provisions of this PRIF Ordinance may be utilized only
for the following purposes:
(a) Providing funds to be utilized by the Parks Board for the purpose of paying the capital costs of
Parks and Recreation Infrastructure that is necessary to serve the new development within
the City of Carmel and Clay Township and that is identified in the 2001-2006 Zone
Improvement Plan;
{b) An amount not to exceed Five Percent (5%) of the annual collections of the fees, to be utilized

29.07.12 Conflicts with Impact Fee Statute.
The Council specifically acknowledges the existence of the Impact Fee Statute, which regulates
the adoption of impact fee ordinances by municipal corporations within the State of Indiana. It is
the intent of the Council to comply with such legislation, and this PRIF Ordinance shall be
construed in all respects to be consistent with the Impact Fee Statute. The substantive and
procedural requirements of the Impact Fee Statute shall control in the event of conflicts, which are
unintended by the Council.
29.07.13 Amendments and Review.
The impact fee provided for herein is based upon information that, in large part, is subject to
inflation and other economic and market forces over which the Council has no control. The
Council may, therefore, not less than once each year, cause a review to be made by the Director or
such consultants as may be required, to determine the continuing validity of the Impact Fee, the
Impact Zone, and the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan. The Council may consider and adopt
such amendments as are necessary to cause a substantive compliance with all constitutional and
statutory requirements. To the extent required by the facts and circumstances, this process shall
include the steps necessary to update the 2001-2006 Zone Improvement Plan and the
Comprehensive Plan.
29.07.14 Effective Date and Expiration Date.
Pursuant to IC 36-7-4-1340, this PRIF Ordinance shall be effective six (6) months following its
adopting[ in accordance with the Impact Fee Statute, replacing the PRIF Ordinance adopted in
November of 1996 and wholly contained in Section 29.07 of the Carmel City Code. This PRIF
Ordinance shall expire five (5) years following such effective date2, and no impact fee may be
collected under this PRIF Ordinance after such expiration date. However, the Council may adopt
a replacement impact fee ordinance to take effect before, on, or after such expiration date if the
replacement ordinance complies with the provisions of the Impact Fee Statute.
