Councilmember Tralle questioned whether the City would be in violation of the State if the City did not charge 65% for the plan check fee required by the State. Mr. Rohlf stated that the City would be in violation but that there are many other cities not charging the 65%. Councilmember Tralle stated that if the State is setting the fee at 65%. it is possibly for the reason to fund the Building and Zoning Department. He noted that this could be phased in at 5% per year starting with 1988. Mr. Rohlf stated he was opposed to this request and he felt the current plan check fee was high enough already. Discussion was held regarding the fact that FHA will only finance 68.500 in Sherburne County and that any other added fees to building may be a detriment to people building in Elk River. cOUNCILMEMBER TRALLE MOVED TO ACCEPT THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE FEES FOR 1985 AND '!'HAT THE PLAN CHECK FEES INCREASE FROM 25% AT A PROGRESSION OF 51 PER YEAR STARTING IN 1988 WITH A CAP AT 45%.
