2 <br /> During the 1995 legislative session, the General Assembly changed the law and now the improvement <br /> permit is required to be issued at the time of the soil/site evaluation and a new step referred to as an <br /> "authorization to construct" is now required as an additional step in the permit process. Because of <br /> these changes,the staff now does more field work in the initial evaluation phase of development of a <br /> property and is asking that the fees be re-structured to reflect the work done as follows: <br /> Soil/site evaluation, layout and improvement permit $170 <br /> Authorization to construct and final inspection 70 <br /> Total $240 <br /> Based on these figures,the totals for the entire process will not change, but the different steps will <br /> more accurately reflect the work done. The Board of Health has already approved this change. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Manager recommends that the Board approve the fee re- <br /> structuring to reflect work done because of changes in the General Statutes. <br />
