<br /> <br />Item No: 7B <br />Meeting Date: November 13, 2006 <br />Type of Business: CB <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 783, an <br />Ordinance Amending Exhibit E of the Municipal Code <br />Relating to Planning and Development Fees <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The City last updated its planning fees for the 2005 fee schedule. Certain changes at <br />Ramsey County as well internally have increased the cost to process some planning <br />applications. The changes proposed are reflected ion the proposed 2007 Mounds View Fee <br />Schedule however Minnesota Statutes require such fees be adopted by ordinance. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The attached ordinance amends Exhibit E of the Municipal Code, the section where the <br />planning and development fees are identified. The fees should be considered the minimum <br />fee, as it may be the case that the fee collected is not sufficient to cover the costs associated <br />with the processing of the application. Applicants are made aware that they are responsible <br />for costs above and beyond the application fee and they sign a statement acknowledging <br />this. <br /> <br />A public hearing is required for this ordinance and it will be held in conjunction with the <br />second reading scheduled for 7:05 pm November 27, 2006. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends Council approval of the introduction and first reading of the attached <br />Ordinance 783 which amends Exhibit E of the Municipal Code pertaining to planning and <br />development fees. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />
