WHEREAS, the Indian River County Emergency Services District ("District") is responsible for inspecting all property and investigating for fire hazards, including the enforcement of a fire prevention code; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the above referenced authority, the District provides to the public certain plan review, inspection and code enforcement services through its Fire Marshal; and WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") adopted Resolution 2004-071 which established reasonable fees for said services, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 208.10-14 of Ordinance No. 2004-021; and WHEREAS, by Resolution 2009-029, the Board amended Resolution 2004-071 as it pertained to fees charged to organizers of Special Events for plan review, inspection services and penalties for code enforcement; and WHEREAS, by Resolution 2017-070, the Board created the Development Review and Permit Process Advisory Committee ("Committee") that is charged with the duty of identifying issues and adopting recommendations for improving the development review and permit process; and WHEREAS, the Committee identified an issue with the timing of the payment of fees for construction plan review of Commercial, Institutional and Multi-family Residential developments. The current fee schedule calls for the entire plan review fee to be paid at the time of application. This fee is intended to cover the cost of on-site inspections. The Committee reasoned that if an applicant submitted plans but then decide not to move forward with the project, the applicant would have paid fees covering inspections that would never be conducted. WHEREAS, the Committee has recommended that Resolution 2004-071 be amended to provide for the payment of any construction plan review fee calculated to be in excess of$5,000.00 for Commercial, Institutional and Multi-family Residential developments to be paid 25% at the time of building permit application and 75% prior to or at the time of building permit issuance. NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County as follows: The Board hereby adopts the following amendment to Attachment "A", Indian River County 1
