A. Within 10 days’ delivery of notice of the decision of the building official or city manager to the appellant, a person may challenge the imposition of a fee imposed pursuant to this chapter by filing with the city clerk a written notice of appeal with a full statement of the grounds and an appeal fee of $200.00 or such other amount as may be fixed from time to time by resolution of the council. The city may continue processing the building permit application if the notice of appeal is accompanied with a bond or other security in an amount equal to the neighborhood park development fee.

B. The appellant bears the burden of demonstrating that the amount of the fee was not calculated according to the procedures established in this chapter.

C. At a regular meeting following the filing of the appeal, the council shall fix a time and place for hearing the appeal, and the city clerk shall mail notice of hearing to the appellant at the address given in the notice of appeal. The hearing shall be conducted by the council at the time and place stated in the notice, and the determination of the council shall be announced at the conclusion of the hearing or at the next regular meeting of the council. The determination of the council shall be final, subject to appeal to the superior court for the state of Alaska, at Palmer. (Ord. 603 § 4, 2003)
