§ 225-5. Recreation fee.

A. 

Where the Planning Board determines that a suitable recreation area cannot be properly located in any such development or is otherwise not practical, the Board may require, as a condition of approval of any such site plan, a payment to the Town of a sum which shall be placed in a trust fund to be used by the Town Board exclusively for neighborhood park, playground or recreation purposes, including the acquisition of property. Alternatively, where such Planning Board determines that only a smaller-sized recreation area and/or one with less than the full range of facilities required to serve the neighborhood recreational needs of the projected residents can be provided, said Board may require the payment of only such proportion of the applicable fees as it determines is appropriate in consideration of the unmet needs resulting from the lesser-sized recreation area and/or lesser facilities actually to be provided.

B. 

The recreation fee paid to the Town shall be $3,000 per dwelling unit for a multifamily development (or other form of residential development) requiring only a site plan or special permit approval, except that assisted-living units shall have a recreation fee of $1,000 per unit.

C. 

In all cases where a middle-income unit or an affordable affirmatively furthering fair housing (AFFH) unit is developed, the recreation fee shall be $1,000 per dwelling unit for a multifamily development (or other form of residential development) requiring only a site plan or special permit approval.
