(a) Appeal Process <br />The parkland dedication fee is presumptively appropriate. The parkland dedication Fee <br />may be appealed before final plat and calculated as follows: The percentage of land to be <br />dedicated will be multiplied by the fair market value of the net buildable acreage. <br />The fair market value may be based upon a current appraisal submitted to the city at the <br />developer's expense. The appraisal shall be made by appraisers who are approved <br />members of the SREA or MAI, or equivalent real estate appraisal societies. <br />If the city disputes such appraisal the city may, at the developer's expense, obtain an <br />appraisal of the property by qualifies real estate appraiser, which appraisal shall be <br />conclusive evidence of the market value of the land. <br />If the city receives written notice of a dispute over the parkland dedication fee before <br />approval of the final plat, the developer shall pay the fee into an escrow account pending <br />a decision of an appeal of the fee. If an appeal is not filed within 60 days following <br />approval of the final plat, or if the person aggrieved by the fee does not prevail on the <br />appeal, then the fiends paid into escrow must be transferred to the city. <br />
