25 <br /> 1 Bonnie Hammersley said she would speak with David Stancil, Department of <br /> 2 Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation Director, on this and send the information to the <br /> 3 Board tomorrow. <br /> 4 Chair Price referred to land records, and said there are fees still listed from 1994. She <br /> 5 said it would be nice to clear this up. She said it is on pages 457. She referred to page 477 <br /> 6 and fire inspections, and said she wants these revised soon. She said there is one fee that is <br /> 7 going from $185 to $1,200, which is a significant jump. <br /> 8 Travis Myren said fire inspection fees are being assessed based on building size. <br /> 9 Chair Price said she understands that it is justified, but it has been waiting for a couple <br /> 10 of decades, and may come as quite a shock to some. <br /> 11 Chair Price referred to stormwater management on page 467. She clarified less than 1 <br /> 12 acre is $300; between 1-10 acres it is $300 per disturbed acre; and 10-25 acres is $600. She <br /> 13 asked if the larger the area, the greater the cost. <br /> 14 Craig Benedict, Planning Director, said the larger the project, the more complex they are <br /> 15 and require more time. He said staff monitors bigger sites as they may have more hazards due <br /> 16 to more land disturbed. <br /> 17 Chair Price said she does not understand the logic behind this. <br /> 18 Craig Benedict said he would review with staff, and get back to the Board. <br /> 19 Chair Price asked if the Board can express its intent to approve, if there are additional <br /> 20 changes pending. <br /> 21 Bonnie Hammersley said the Board could still do an intent to approve the budget, and if <br /> 22 there are changes they can be included on the 15th <br /> 23 <br /> 24 A motion was made by Chair Price, seconded by Commissioner McKee, to approve the <br /> 25 fee schedule. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Roll call ensued <br /> 28 <br /> 29 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 30 <br /> 31 4.
