If the <br /> developer wishes to receive credit against the amount of the public <br /> school impact fee due for such conveyance or construction, the developer <br /> shall enter into a fee agreement with the County. The fee agreement <br /> shall provide for the establishment of credits and payment of the fee in <br /> a specified manner and time. <br /> The value of land conveyed or facilities constructed by a developer <br /> and accepted by the County, municipality or school board for purposes of <br /> this section shall be determined by an appraisal based on the fair <br /> market value of the land or facilities as established by the County. <br /> Construction shall be in accordance with applicable County, municipal, <br /> school board, and/or State standards.
