FEE SCHEDULE REVITW
With the new zoning ordinance now in effect it is necessary for
City Council to establish a fee schedule for vari4us app�,ications
referenced in the Ordinance. This also qives the City an
opportunity to bring these fees more in iine with actuai out-of-
pocket costs and with what other comparable communities are
charging. Listed below are various fees which Council should '
consider modifying:
1. Zoninq Ordinanae & Map: $25.00 for Zoning Ordinance & Map.
& $5.00 for Zoning Map only.
Staff believes that $25.00 represents a reasonable cost for
the zoning ordinance to af�set the cost of reproducing and
offering for sale the 87 page document. Many cammunities
charge considerable more €or their ordinance, as much as $50 -
$75 dollars is not uncammon.
The price for the old zoning ordinance & map was $5.4Q.
2. Subdivision Ordinance: $5.00 for Subdivision Ordinance.
The subdivision ordinance was formerly sold with the zoning
ordinance and included in the $5.00 fee. It will now be sold
separately.
3 . Comprehensive GuiBe Plan Am�n�ent; $250.00 Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment Application Fee. Since a Comprehensive
Guide Plan Amendment invc�Tves considerable costs i.n the way
of capying maps and materiais required for distribu�iQn to the
Metropolitan Couneil and abutting communities and because an
amendment must be permanently incorporated into copies of tMe
Guide Plan which are subsequently produced, staff considers
$250,40 a reasonable fee for Plan Amendment application.
This fee represents a mid-range between fees charged by Apple
Valley, Eagan, Lakeville and Inver Grave Heights,
The City has charged $100.00 for proGessinq Guide Plan
Amendments in the past.

4 . Zoninq Amendment (Text or M�►p� s $254.00 for zoning amendment
application. Zoning Amendments invalve publishing both a
hearing natice and the ordirtance ehange (a�f appraved� ,
Publieation cost would be $30 - $5Q for each, There are also
mailing costs associated with the public hearinq notification
($10 dollars on average} . Further there are generally
considerable duplicating costs for maps and ar site drawings
for council review. Alsa zoning amendments usually require
legal review by the City Attorney.
$250 for a Zoning Amendment App7.ication represents a mid-
range between those fees charged by Apple Valley, Eagan,
Lakeville and Inver Grove Heights.
The City�s current fee for a zoning amendment application is
$50.00.
5. Yariance Petition: $75.00 Variance Petition Application Fee.
This fee is used to offset out of pocket ea�tpens�� including
publishing of public notiees and mailing of public notices.
Usually it is necessary to photo copy maps and site plans �o�
distributian to Zaning Board of Appeals.
Comparable to fees charged by Apple Valley, Lakeville, Eagan,
and Inver Grove Heights.
Current Fee is $15.00.
6. Variance Appeal: $75.00 Variance Appeal (to City Council}
Application Fee. Processing costs fcrr this procedure are
comparable to Variance Petition and therefore a similar fee
is appropriate.
Current Fee is �15.00
The above fee amounts are� recommendatians frQm staff which are open
far discussion from City Council. Staf� recommends that a fee
schedule be adopted by resolution. A resolution form will be
provided at the me�ting that will allow the various fee to be
filled in as authorized by Cou�ncil.
