Director Keating advised that staff started on this well over a year ago, and they assessed the entire fee structure of the Community Development Department. He reviewed in detail how they analyzed costs and surveyed local governments in the area to see if the proposed costs are comparable. Table 2 sets out the Fee Schedule Comparison, and Director Keating explained they used an average and a range because different governments charge in a different manner so that it is hard to compare. Chairman Scurlock wished to know if we have a.revenue estimate of what this new fee recommendation would generate for next year and whether that would be plugged into the budget prior to our final budget hearings. Director Keating advised that staff has not done a projec- tion of how much it will bring in because it varies according to how many plats and site plans come in and how big they are. He could say that the first 6 months of the current fiscal year, the total Planning Division's fee revenue was $56,000. Commissioner Eggert expressed concern about the fee for minor site plans as people need to improve their property, and felt it has become very costly; although, she realized staff still has to go through the whole process with them. Director Keating believed on minor site plans, administra- tive approvals are still within a reasonable cost range; those are $100, and they include improvements up to 1500 sq. ft. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, to adopt Resolution 88-46 approving the proposed Fee Schedule for the Planning Division. Director Keating wished the Board to be aware that he did include a $25 fee for a written confirmation of zoning. People can call up and get verbal confirmation, but if they ask for written confirmation, it will be $25.00. Actually, we don't get that many requests. J U L 2 6 1988 33 BOOK 73 F►,GE 27�
