City of Elk River 2000 Fee Schedule Building and Zoning Department Recommendations Building permits - No increase allowed, the city is charging the maximum. Plan check- No increase allowed, the city is charging the maximum, 65% of the cost of the building permit. Miscellaneous building permits -No increases recommended; these fees cover the citY's expenses. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning permits - Currently the city charges 1% of the valuation of the work being done for this type of permit (Exhibit "B" of the Fee Schedule). The new energy code imposed by the state will become effective in April of 2000. This new code will cause an additional two inspections for mechanical equipment in a home. To be consistent with other communities and to cover the additional inspections, staff is recommending the city charges 1.5% of the valuation of the work being done for the permit. Gas fitting permits -No increase recommended. Gas fitter's license - Currently the city charges $24 per year for a gas fitter's license. Staffis recommending this fee be increased to $35 per year to cover the cost of administration. Plumbing permits - Currently the city charges $6.00 per fixture for a plumbing permit (Exhibit "D" of the Fee Schedule). To cover staff time associated with plumbing permits, staff is recommending this fee be increased to $8.00 per fixture. This is consistent with other communities. Staff also recommends the minimum charge for a plumbing permit be increased from $18.00 to $24.00. Grading permits/wetland filling and draining permits - Grading permits are currently $25, plus consultant time if needed. This fee is insufficient to cover staff's time so we are recommending it be increased to $50. Wetland permits are $75. The city covers wetland permits under grading permits so we are proposing to eliminate this fee. Mineral excavation licenses -No increase recommended, the current fee covers staff's time.
