RE: City License and Zoning Fees <br /> During the budgeting process for the coming year, it was brought to the attention <br /> of the City Staff that it might be time to review some of the fees now charged. <br /> Example: Pequot Lakes charges $75.00 for a Variance and $75.00 for a <br /> Conditional Use Permit whether it is commercial or not. Neighboring cities <br /> charge $180 to $200 for residential and $205 to $300 for commercial. <br /> It appears that there are different ways to deal with sign permits. The City's one <br /> time charge of $25 for a sign permit could be increased, or perhaps sign permits <br /> could be for a specific time (two or three years). Nisswa has 60 day permit for <br /> portable signs...at this time staff knows of at least four such portable signs <br /> (lighted, with removable letters) in the "downtown" area for which no permits <br /> have been issued. <br /> City Staff would ask that the Commission review the current fee schedule and <br /> make recommendations to the City Council. <br />
