Your Application Fee of$480.00 is based on average processing and review <br /> `,. costs for land use applications. When costs exceed the original application <br /> fees, the applicant shall reimburse the City for any additional costs. Such <br /> expenses may include, but are not limited to,payroll, mailing costs, consultant <br /> fees and other professional services the City may need to obtain in reviewing <br /> permits. As an example,the City Engineer and City Planner track their time on <br /> each application. The City Engineer's fees range from $85.00 to $125.00 per <br /> hour, depending on the expertise needed. The City Planner's fee is $62.00 per <br /> hour. Any special meetings attended by either would also include mileage. The <br /> City will contact the applicant when the City becomes aware of potential <br /> additional costs to the applicant. The City may withhold final action on a land <br /> use application and/or hold the release of a construction permit until all fees <br /> are paid. <br /> In addition, I have been asked to explain how we inform people who receive <br /> violation letters that they may be charged fees for remedying their violation. Over <br /> the past year we have added the follow sentence to our violation letters: <br /> You will also be responsible to reimburse the City for any expenses incurred in <br /> remedying this violation. <br /> I would suggest including the following in the paragraph that described failure to <br /> comply with the Ordinance: <br /> You will also be responsible to reimburse the City for any expenses incurred in <br /> remedying this violation. This would include any consultant fees or other <br /> professional services that City Staff determined was necessary, including but <br /> not limited to the City Planner at$62.00 per hour or the City Engineer at <br /> $85.00 to $125.00 per hour. <br /> S-. <br /> Completed September 27, 2006 2 <br />
