Introduction
What are Impact Fees?
As communities grow, the demands placed on surrounding infrastructure continue to increase.
Eventually, these demands will require additional capacity improvements to maintain apropos
levels of public service.
Impact fees represent financial payments made from a developer to the local government to
offset the costs of certain off-site capital improvements needed to facilitate future growth. Fees
may be collected for many different public facilities and services, including: transportation,
municipal facilities (such as public services, planning, building, engineering, and general
administration), stormwater, police and fire protection, and recreation.
Impact fees commonly provide a means for orderly development by mitigating the negative
impacts of new growth, while passing the costs associated with new development onto
developers, rather than existing taxpayers. Impact fees are most useful in communities that are
experiencing rapid growth and have significant land available for development.
The Town of Mount Pleasant is in the process of updating its development impact fees for
recreation, fire protection, municipal facilities and equipment and transportation, on all new
development (residential and non-residential) within the town limits.
Basis for Impact Fees
The State of South Carolina grants cities and counties the authority to collect impact fees on new
development pursuant to the rules and regulations set forth in the South Carolina Development
Impact Fee Act (Section 6-1-910 et seq. of the SC Code of Laws). As part of the process for
developing an impact fee program, a city or county must prepare and adopt the following:
• An impact fee study report that documents existing conditions, future capital needs,
replacement and implementation costs. The study also identifies the maximum allowable
impact fees (by category) which may be charged in accordance with the rules and
requirements of the Act.
• A report that estimates the effect of impact fees on the availability and affordability of
housing.
• A development impact fee ordinance.
• A Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) that identifies capital improvements, equipment, and
vehicles that qualify for impact fee funding. Eligible costs may include design,
engineering, acquisition, financing, and construction costs. (Administrative and operating
costs are not eligible for impact fee funding).

RECREATION
Project:
Carolina Park Recreation Complex Phase III
Description:
Carolina Park Recreation Complex consists of two (2) adjacent parcels of
land consisting of 48 and 29 acres, respectfully. Phase I was completed on
half of the 48 acres with the construction of four (4) lighted 120' x 70'
rectangular shape multipurpose fields, 200 parking spaces, entrance road
and storage building. The additional Phase(s) would consist of up to four
(4) fields (rectangular/diamond), two (2) outdoor multipurpose courts, and
additional parking/amenities as deemed necessary via needs assessment.
The 29 acre parcel of land is designated as a passive park which would
consist of a running/walking trail. The trail would be a minimum of five (5)
kilometers in length and at least eight (8) feet wide so as to accommodate
cross-country competitions, as well as the primary function for recreational
walkers/runners.
Justification:
To maintain the current level of recreation service, additional parkland, park
and recreation buildings, park and recreation amenities, trails and open
space will need to be increased. Because the impact fee for recreation was
based on the consumption methodology (e.g., per capital replacement
value), impact fee funds may be used toward the purchase of any eligible
facility, land or equipment. This project will provide the residents of Mount
Pleasant with a modern recreation facility designed to offer both active and
passive recreation opportunities as population increases.
Estimated Cost:
$7,844,155 in 2017

RECREATION
Project:
Memorial Waterfront Park – Phase II
Description:
The Memorial Waterfront Park turned five years old in 2014. During master
plan design of Phase II of the Memorial Waterfront Park, the following
recreation amenities were considered: amphitheater, kayak launch, public
docks, and water access (for public and water taxi). The final master plan
includes a pier expansion with 16 boat slips, a restaurant expansion to the
gift shop, enhanced overflow parking area, and small improvements to
Phase I park areas such as the addition of toddler playground equipment,
electrical upgrades, Wi-Fi, and upgrade to the security cameras.
Justification:
To maintain the current level of recreation service, additional parkland, park
and recreation buildings, park and recreation amenities, trails and open
space will need to be increased. Because the impact fee for recreation was
based on the consumption methodology (e.g., per capital replacement
value), impact fee funds may be used toward the purchase of any eligible
facility, land, or equipment. This facility will provide additional outdoor
recreational facilities as population increases.

Project:
Second Senior Center
Description:
A second Senior Center located at the northern end of Town, referred to
North of Highway 41, will enable the Town to provide critical services to
the rising senior population. This is facility would be in response to the
societal change and increase in the relocation of the retirement-age
population to Mount Pleasant that is taking place with an estimated 25% of
the Town's growing population being age 60 and over by 2020. Such a
facility would also help with the traffic issues as the facility would be much
closer to a significant number of eligible participants, thus reducing the need
for participants to drive greater distances for such services.
Justification:

the smallest station that houses a full-sized fire apparatus, 3,609sq/ft. Station
7 is smaller; however, it only houses a QRV with two personnel and one
Battalion Chief. Station 1 has seen an increase in call volume over the past
several years. At this time, it is one of the busiest stations. As commercial
density increases in the area, call volume will continue to increase. With the
current size constraints of Station 1 it would be difficult to add a second
unit, such as a QRV, to handle calls in that area. More sleeping space,
eating, and bathroom space would be needed.

assuming constant current service delivery standards. Fire Station 4
currently houses Rescue 504, Squad 504, a Battalion Chief, and a reserve
ladder truck. The Station was constructed in 1990 and is currently the oldest
fire station in use within the Town. When this station was constructed, the
community in that area was mostly rural. Since that time, Hungryneck Blvd
was constructed alongside this property and the Town sold land to a private
developer that is directly behind the station. This reduced the land use area
for the station and removed the ability of one of the units to pull through the
station. Per the Fire Department’s Standard Operating Guideline 209.04
Backing of Department apparatus should be avoided whenever possible. As
commercial density increases in the area, call volume will continue to
increase requiring an expansion of the station. All new stations will be built
with drive through apparatus bays to avoid backing. Because the reduced
land footprint the station will likely have to be turned toward Hungryneck
and a second story may have to be added to maintain the square footage of
the station while maintaining response times and ISO rating.
