Cities and counties would not be able to charge impact fees to new charter schools under legislation proposed Monday by Orem Republican Jim Ferrin. The proposal stems from a recent dispute between a new Draper charter school and the Draper City Council. Earlier this year, founders of Summit Academy asked the City Council to waive impact fees on the private building in which they intended to locate the school. Ferrin also wrote a letter urging a fee waiver. But last month, the council denied the requests, forcing Summit Academy to join other commercial ventures in covering costs for road improvements, and for services such as police and fire. City officials contend they are assessing fees to the commercial builder, not the school. Ferrin says the school will end up absorbing the fees in its lease payments. Traditional public schools usually don't pay impact fees.
