Cordray, IAMC, Clerk-Tdeasurer Prepared by Adrienne Keeling,Planning Administrator City of Carmel.Department of Community Services 11/04/2013 Resolution CC-11-04-13-01 3 CURRENT LEVEL OF SERVICE By comparison, the Current Level of Service (see IC 36-7-4-1302) for existing development in the impact zone is estimated by taking the current value of existing park and recreation infrastructure in the Community and dividing that value by the total number of current households. Value of existing infrastructure: © Land (661 Acres* at $61,200 per acre) $ 40,453,200 *Based on 505 acres in the Carmel Clay Park System,(see MIG, Inc. Master Plan Survey), plus 31 acres in Gray Road Park (Carmelot); 80 acres in Brookshire Golf Course; 41 acres of Monon Greenway ROW (using a width of 66 feet, 51 acres less the acreage attributed to the Monon Greenway and trailheads in the MIG, Inc. Master Plan Survey) and 4 acres of the recent Cool Creek North Trail extension. O Improvements: 71,940,000 TOTAL: $ 112,393,200 • Divided by number of current households: 32,592 Estimated Current Level of Service = $ 3,448/ unit of existing development COMMUNITY LEVEL OF SERVICE The Community Level of Service represents the maximum impact fee that may be assessed on a new development unit (see IC 36-7-4-1301). As permitted by IC 36-7-4-1318(b)(3), this Zone Improvement Plan establishes the Current Level of Service as the Community Level of Service. Estimated Community Level of Service = $ 3,448/ unit (same as Current Level of Service) 45 COMPUTATION OF IMPACT FEE; RECOMMENDATION Park Infrastructure Planned to Serve New Development $ 23,750,000 o Divided by: New Development Units Projected for 10-year Period 7,140 Cost of New Infrastructure, per New Unit $ 3,326 Less: Deductions for Central Park Bond (1,001) Less: Deductions for County Income Tax (50) Projected (Maximum) Impact Fee: $ 2,275/ unit RECOMMENDATION The impact fee is not expected to be the sole source of revenue for parks and recreation improvements for the next 10 years. Accordingly, an impact fee can be imposed at a level below the maximum authorized by state law; this also recognizes that existing residents may utilize any new facilities alongside the new residents upon whom the fee is imposed. However, unlike some other communities in Hamilton County, the Carmel/Clay community does not impose road impact fees upon new development, and thus higher but still reasonable park impact fees assessed upon new developments in Clay Township should not be unduly burdensome. As indicated above, the impact per new residential development unit over the 10-year planning period (2010-2020) is $2,275. This is calculated by adding together the net cost of new park development and new construction ($23,750,000), then dividing by the projected number of new households (7,140), and then subtracting mandatory, statutory deductions that equal the estimated amount($1,001)that an average new household will be assessed via property taxes to service the debt for the current park bond, as well as the estimated amount ($50)that occupants of the average new residence will pay via the County Option Income Tax to support other new park development during the 10 year planning period. It should be noted that the current Carmel/Clay Park and Recreation Impact Fee is only$1,261 per dwelling unit—this is less than was permitted under state law when this fee was set in 2005. Moving the impact fee to the maximum level allowed by state law at this time would require over a 60% increase from the current amount Moreover, it is not desirable for the City Council to increase taxes or fees to be imposed during an economic downturn. However, the economy is expected to be in growth mode during the five-year life (2010-2015)of this proposed Impact Fee Ordinance. Therefore, it is recommended that the Carmel/Clay Park and Recreation Impact Fee should be frozen at the current level of$1,261 for the first 12 months of this ordinance, and then be scheduled to increase thereafter by no more than 10% per annum: Current Parks and Recreation Impact Fee $1,261/unit (effective 9/7/05-9/6/10) Proposed Fee, effective 9/7/10-9/6/11 1,261/unit Proposed Fee, effective 917/11-9/6/12 1,3871 unit Proposed Fee, effective 9/7/12-9/6/13 1,5261 unit Proposed Fee, effective 9/7113-9/6/14 1,679/unit Proposed Fee, effective 9/7/14-9/6/15 1,8471 unit 46 L.
