Discuss Impact Fee vs. Fee in Lieu of Land. Clerk Claudia Quick reported that at a recent seminar concerning impact fees she learned that it is her understanding that the park fee which the Town of Sun Prairie has is not an impact fee. That is because the requirement is in our land division ordinances and the payment is in lieu of land. Also there is no requirement to refund unused funds. She has requested an opinion from Attorney Hazelbaker.
