ir <br /> it most often is needed to show what is being <br /> donw in a urban location , and is therefore 106 <br /> ir <br /> somewhat misleading. There is a straight $40.00 1 <br /> char' e for this, plus the Gr.<ding Perr;it. <br /> Plan Review for sites over 40,000 sevaLe feet <br /> plus a Grading Permit befo: or begins. The <br /> fee is $80.00 for sites of 40,000 to 80,000 <br /> square feet and $160.00 for sites over 80,000 <br /> square feet no matter how large. Plan Approval <br /> expires one year after approval if work is not <br /> begun. <br /> Grading Permit for all sites over 20,000 square <br /> feet. The fee is $10.00 per 10,000 square feet <br /> for sites of 20,000-80,000 square feet and $12.00 <br /> per 10,000 square feet for sites over 80,000 <br /> square feet. There is no time limit on the <br /> Permit once work begins, but it expires if work <br /> is not begun within 6 months of the date it is <br /> issued. <br /> I propose the following fee schedule: <br /> Plan Review: Do away with Plan Waiver as it is <br /> misleading since all sites ;must communicate what <br /> is to be done on the site and a plan is usually <br /> required.

C-ang- <br /> ing the r__i,e at 5 acres appears to be the level <br /> at which the complexity levels off and the fee <br /> should be cut back . The Plan Approval would <br /> expire if constuction had not begun within one <br /> year of approval. - <br /> Grading Permit: The fee for Urban Development <br /> would be $20.00 per 10,000 square feet ($87.12 <br /> per acre) with a maximum fee of $8712.00 charged <br /> for 100 acres . Since the Grading Permit does not <br /> have to be purchased until just prior to the <br /> IL start of construction, it would expire after 6 <br /> months if construction had not begun.
