Zoning Department, not a squad car. There are 3 different fee schedules available. The <br /> City would need to look at the costs that need to be covered and hire an inspector.The <br /> homeowner pays a fee that covers city costs and inspector fees. Mr. Burslie stated Staff <br /> will provide the 3 fee schedules next month. <br /> Planning Commission Member Mortenson stated an inspector may weed out the <br /> unlicensed contractors. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated the Land Use Permit Applications in Crosslake and Fifty Lakes <br /> requires a contractor license number. Zoning Specialist Bittner stated our applications <br /> do not; however, it could be easily included. <br /> Planning Commission Member Wallin asked why the city can't hire an inspector to go <br /> out and make sure people are building to the Code without adopting the Code. Once our <br /> population gets over 2,500,we can't rescind it. We can't make local changes to our <br /> Code. Mr. Sadusky stated he has not been asked the question before and suggested the <br /> City run it past our legal department. He didn't know what benefit it would give. <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson stated he would like to know more about the fee <br /> schedules. <br /> Zoning Specialist Bittner stated she compared our Land Use Fees with surrounding <br /> communities several years ago. She will provide updated information next month. <br /> Mayor Adams asked the Planning Commission to review the fee schedules and made a <br /> recommendation on the fees. One comment made by a Council Member was that the <br /> City will lose $17,000 in Land Use Fees. She requested the Planning Commission <br /> review all of the issues and present to the City Council, including interviewing the <br /> inspector. <br /> Mr. Sadusky stated he would be happy to answer additional questions or attend another <br /> meeting if necessary; he is willing to help out. <br /> A MOTION WAS MADE BY PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER WILSON. <br /> SECONDED BY PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER WALLIN,TO TABLE <br /> THIS DISCUSSION TO THE MAY MEETING TO COLLECT ADDITIONAL <br /> INFORMATION. <br /> May 18, 2017 <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> a.
