      (2)   All funds paid hereunder shall be held in an encumbered account by each village entity receiving the same for the purpose of making only capital expenditures for the particular governmental agency.

      (3)   Capital expenditures shall be defined as the acquisition of equipment with an estimated useful life in excess of three years by purchase, lease or lease purchase, the purchase of land, the construction of permanent structures on said premises, the extension of water mains, sewer lines, or other permanent improvements.
      (4)   All of said development fees shall be paid to the Village Treasurer who shall transfer to the respective village departments to their accounts and other governmental bodies involved, their share of the funds within 60 days of the receipt thereof. All funds to be received by village departments shall be placed in encumbered funds within 60 days of receipt.
      (5)   The payments received for any specified fund shall not be used for any other fund or for purposes other than those specified herein.
   (D)   Real property affected shall be as follows:
      (1)   Single-family detached dwellings, on a single lot. Any lot zoned for any single-family residential lot, platted after the effective date of this chapter shall be required to pay the development fees imposed by this section.
      (2)   Multi-family lots. Any lot zoned for multi-family attached or semidetached dwellings, including, but not limited to, townhouses, condominiums, cooperative housing, row houses, and duplexes platted after the effective date of this chapter shall pay a fee based on the total number of dwelling units. That is one fee amount per each dwelling unit and as set forth in this section.
      (3)   Business office, industrial and manufacturing lots. Any lot zoned for business, office, industrial, or manufacturing platted after the effective date of this chapter shall be required to pay the development fees imposed in this section; a fee shall be imposed for each individual business office, commercial or manufacturing unit on a given lot. Landlords and tenants shall be joint and severally liable for the payment of the development fees imposed by this section. The foregoing is imposed provided that any business or manufacturer located on a lot shall be entitled to a credit of $250 from the required development fees for each job estimated to be created by the establishment of a business or manufacturing plant erected on any lot during the first year of operation of the business or manufacturing plant. The person or entity requesting such credit shall certify in writing, under oath, to the village, the estimated number jobs for employees working at least 20 hours per week. If, on a date one year from the date of issuance of an occupancy permit by the village, the actual number of employees working 20 hours per week is not as great as the number originally estimated, the village shall be reimbursed by the person, firm, or corporation to whom the building permit is issued in the amount of $250 for each employee under the estimated number, and the person to whom the building permit is issued shall be liable in a court of law for such amount.
      (4)   No lot platted prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be encumbered by the terms of this chapter. Platted lots are defined as "any subdivision having village final approval" and do not include a subdivision only having preliminary approval of the village. Therefore, a subdivision having preliminary approval will be subject to payment of development fees if the final approval is after the effective date of this chapter. Platted lots also include an existing village lot or parcel of land which is divided into two or more parts. Therefore, any division of an existing village lot after the effective date of this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
   (E)   Any person who files an application with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) for water operating permits shall pay an amount equal to the water connection charges provided hereunder for the number of dwelling units, commercial, office, industrial or manufacturing buildings contemplated for the entire development, based on the rate in effect on the date of application for the IEPA permits. Such payments for water connection permits shall be made in the following ways:
      (1)   In cash upon application to the IEPA.
      (2)   In cash upon application for each building permit for each dwelling unit and commercial, office, industrial or manufacturing building or business, provided that the permit applicant provides a letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to the village for 100% of all connection fees for the particular development or property. Such letter of credit shall include a provision indicating that it will not terminate without at least 60 days, but not more than 75 days, advance written notice to the village prior to its expiration date, and such expiration date shall be a date which is no earlier than 24 months subsequent to the date of filing a permit application with the IEPA. This will be based on the amount indicated in the permit application to the IEPA. All connection charges shall in any event be due and payable to the village within 24 months after the date of application to the IEPA for the permits. All connection charges paid at the time of building permits issued prior to the expiration of the 24 month period regardless of the number of dwelling units, commercial, office, manufacturing buildings or businesses built at that time shall be credited to the amount owed at the end of the 24 month period. Within 30 days prior to the end of the 24 month period, or any time thereafter, or the expiration date of the letter of credit, whichever is earlier, the village shall be entitled to draw upon said letter of credit to pay the full amount of water connection fees owed at that time. Said letter of credit shall be in addition to, and separate from, any other letter of credit required under this Code of Peotone.

      (2)   In cash upon application for each building permit for each dwelling unit and commercial, office, industrial, or manufacturing building or business provided that the permit applicant provides a letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to the village for 100% of all connection fees for the particular development or property.
