Sammamish Development Code

M. Administrative fees

2. If a feepayer opts not to have the impact fees determined according to SDC 21.08.040K., then the feepayer shall prepare and submit to the director an independent fee calculation for the development for which a building permit is sought. The documentation submitted shall show the basis upon which the independent fee calculation was made. 3. Any feepayer submitting an independent fee calculation shall be required to pay the City a fee to cover the cost of reviewing the independent fee calculation. The amount of the fee required by the City for conducting the review of the independent fee calculation shall be in accordance with the adopted fee resolution approved by the City council and shall be paid by the feepayer prior to initiation of review. 4. While there is a presumption that the calculations set forth in the rate study are valid, the director shall consider the documentation submitted by the feepayer, but is not required to accept such documentation or analysis which the director reasonably deems to be inaccurate or not reliable, and may modify or deny the request, or, in the alternative, require the feepayer to submit additional or different documentation for consideration. The director is authorized to adjust the impact fees on a case-by-case basis based on the independent fee calculation, the specific characteristics of the development, and/or principles of fairness. The director’s decision shall be set forth in writing and shall be mailed to the feepayer. 5. Determinations made by the director pursuant to this section may be appealed to the office of the hearing examiner subject to the procedures set forth in SDC 21.08.040F.

1. All development permits subject to the park and recreational facilities impact fees pursuant to SDC 21.08.040K. shall pay an administrative processing fee as adopted by the City council. 2. All development permits that require an independently determined park and recreational facilities impact fee pursuant to SDC 21.08.040L. shall pay an administrative processing fee as adopted by the City council.

N. Mitigation of adverse environmental impacts

Nothing in this Chapter shall preclude the City from requiring the feepayer or the proponent of a development to mitigate adverse environmental impacts of a specific development pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapter 43.21C RCW, based on the environmental documents accompanying the underlying development approval process, and/or Chapter 58.17 RCW, governing plats and subdivisions; provided, that the exercise of this authority is consistent with the provisions of Chapters 43.21C and 82.02 RCW.
