TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />For Your Info. <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building and Zoning Administrator <br /> <br />February 6, 2003 <br /> <br />Engineering Fees for the Review of Surveys that are not in <br />Compliance with Approved Development Plan <br /> <br />To ensure home construct/on is consistent with the overall scheme for handling drainage in <br />a plat, the city requires development plans. What type of house fits on each lot and how <br />grading for that lot is to be done are some of the typical items on development plans. There <br />are situations where deviations from the approved development plan (e.g. altered drainage, <br />lower or higher lowest floor elevation, different house style, etc.) can be allowed without <br />compromising the overall plat drainage. <br /> <br />When significant deviations are proposed, they are reviewed by the City Engineer's office. <br />The city incurs costs for the Engineer's review that are not accounted for in the building <br />permit fee. The city receives between 50 and 75 requests per year for significant deviations <br />from approved development plans. <br /> <br />Starting February 1, 2003, an additional $150 engineering fee is being added to the cost Of <br />those building permits where the builder wishes to significandy deviate from the approved <br />development plan for a plat. Minor revisions are processed by the Building Department <br />without additional charges. <br /> <br /> <br />
