WAS ASKED TO SEND -THEIR COMMENTS TO THE -BOARD, IF THEY HAD ANY. - <br />CHAIRMAN WODTKE INQUIRED ABOUT THE FEES FOR ZONING PERMITS.- <br />AND <br />ERMITS,AND MISS LANCASTER EXPLAINED THAT THESE ARE HIGHER BECAUSE -OUR ZONING <br />INSPECTORS ARE ACTUALLY GOING OUT -TO SEE THAT THE CORRECT SWALES, <br />ETC., ARE IN AS REQUIRED. <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER STATED THAT THEY ARE MAKING AN <br />ATTEMPT TO TRY TO SEE THAT THESE THINGS ARE DONE PROPERLY. WE ARE <br />STILL DEPENDENT ON THE CITY -COUNTY BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO INSPECT <br />WHEN FOUNDATIONS ARE POURED TO BE SURE THESE ARE PROPERLY STAKED <br />OUT AND IN THE CORRECT LOCATION, BUT THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS AND <br />OCCASIONALLY A STRUCTURE IS SEVERAL FEET OFF SINCE THE FOUNDATIONS <br />ARE NOT ALWAYS POURED EXACTLY THE SAME AS THEY ARE STAKED OUT. <br />MISS LANCASTER STATED THAT THEY HAVE FOUND A PROBLEM <br />WHERE SUBDIVISION ARENIT ROUTINELY INSPECTED UNTIL THEY GO FOR <br />FINAL APPROVAL, AND BY THEN IT IS TOO LATE. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE CITY IS CONSIDERING <br />HIRING AN ADDITIONAL FLOATING INSPECTOR WHO WILL INSPECT RANDOMLY <br />AND NOT ON A SET ROUTINE OR JUST WHEN CALLED. <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER FELT THIS IS NEEDED AND NOTED <br />THAT THEY HAD A BAD CASE WITH A SITE PLAN WHERE THEY FOUND NUMEROUS <br />THINGS THAT HAD BEEN CHANGED WITHOUT EVER COMING TO US FOR MODIFICA- <br />TION. HE STATED THAT HE DOES FEEL THE INCREASE IN FEES IS JUSTIFIED. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS ASKED IF HE FELT THE SUBDIVISION REVIEW <br />FEES ARE HIGH ENOUGH, AND MR. REVER STATED THAT ACTUALLY HE DID <br />NOT BECAUSE THEY SPEND AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME ON THESE COM- <br />PARED TO THE AMOUNT THEY CHARGE. THEY HAVE TO DO A LOT OF IN-HOUSE <br />WORK AND ARE INVOLVED WITH THE DRAINAGE, ETC. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS COMMENTED THAT THEY ARE LEGALLY ENTITLED <br />TO CHARGE A FEE COMMENSURATE WITH THE COST OF PERFORMING THE SERVICE. <br />MISS LANCASTER SUGGESTED THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER <br />INITIATING SOMETHING LIKE A ROUTINE INSPECTION DURING THE PROGRESS <br />OF A SUBDIVISION AND POSSIBLY CHARGE AN ADDITIONAL FEE FOR FINAL <br />INSPECTION BEFORE THEY COME IN FOR FINAL APPROVAL. <br />DEC 51979 9 aa <br />BDo 42 PAG� E187 <br />
