r � � Administrator Wright recommended the elimination of the 50 -odd zoning fees listed in the above fee schedules which are primarily a -function that can be handled in conjunction with the issuance of a building permit. He pointed out that site plan procedures would not be affected by this.change. • Administrator Wright also recommended that we increase our building fees to the level currently being charged to the municipal residents. We use the same scale, but we use a factor in the unincorporated areas of 75% of total value instead of 100%, i.e., if you live in the unincorporated area, you pay three-fourths as much, but you pay an additional fee to the Zoning Dept., which makes it an almost washout situation. - Ester Rymer, Building Dept. Director, reported that building plan examining fees for both the municipal and unincorporated fees are figured on 75% of total assessment value. Administrator•Wright reported that there were some concerns by the building trades people that they would, in essence, be paying for removal of junk cars and other large items to comply with -the Code Enforcement Board. He stated that was not the intent. The Administrator felt that the Building Dept. should be oriented towards building concerns and stated that he would be glad to get a clear division of revenues and time spent by the Code Enforcement people between now and the end of the fiscal year and then make the appropriate budget amendments in October. Peter Robinson, builder of Laurel Homes, stated that he would have no objections to the proposed change as it would be a real benefit to eliminate one step in the planning process. Their main concern was that right now there are a lot of building permits going through the Building Dept. and there is going to be a lot of money built up in the enterprise fund; they don't want to see this being used for code 51 .
