HomeMy WebLinkAbout4D - 1995 Fee ScheduleCONSENT AGENDA #: 4 (d)
PREPARED BY: RALPH TESCHNER, FINANCE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF 1995 FEE SCHEDULE
DATE: JANUARY 3, 1995
INTRODUCTION:
The purpose for this agenda item is to consider Council approVal of the
1995 City of Prior Lake Fee Schedule.
BACKGROUND:
A significant number of the fee amount changes are associated with
development charges and related building permit fees. Attached is a table
illustrating how our proposed development related fees compare overall
with the average contained in the most recent available Association of
Metropolitan Municipalities Municipal License and Permit Survey.
DISCUSSION:
Outlined below are those development related fees that are recommended
to be increased and represent dedicated funds separate from the General
Fund and outside the scope of the 1995 Operating Budget revenues:
Fee Description
1994 Amount 1995 Amount
Trunk Acreage Fee $3,000.00 $3,500.00
Collector Acreage Fee $1,250.00 $1,500.00
Park Dedication Acreage Fee (}~esiae,aa~) $800.00 $1,200.00
MWCC SAC $800.00 $850.00
City SAC $450.00 $500.00
City WAC $450.00 $500.00
Collector Street Fee $350.00 $400.00
Water Tower Fee $600.00 $700.00
Park Support Fee $650.00 $750.00
If these proposed charges were implemented
they wot~ld increase the
single family building permit fee for a $100,000 house from
approximately $4545 to $4945 (excluding the retainer amount of $1500
that is normally refunded). This represents an increase of 8.80% which is
virtually identical to the average estimated tax increase on existing
property of 9%. This is consistent with the Council position that the cost
for community development be borne, to the extent possible, by new
residents.
Attached is the proposed 1995 Fee Schedule which lists virtually all
license fees and service charges. Fees identified to increase are indicated
in bold alongside their present amount. In addition to the above list, other
fee changes and new fee charges are identified in the list below:

The Planning Department has determined through the use of surveys and
calls that our fees as recommended with respect to zoning and subdivision
issues are very comparable with other cities. The new fees are for those
reviews that are fairly time consuming. Staff feels it is appropriate to
reimburse such costs and is consistent with the Council perspective that
costs associated with development be recovered.
Since the majority of the larger increases affect the building permit cost, a
letter was sent to contractors, which do business in the community,
informing them that these proposed changes would be discussed by the
Council on January 3rd.
The City SAC and WAC charges along with the water tower fee are
implemented by ordinance within the Prior Lake City Code. Therefore it is
necessary to approve an ordinance amendment to effect their respective
increase. Such ordinance has been prepared, which includes a number of
housekeeping amendments, for your review as the next scheduled item on
this agenda.
The following alternatives are available to the City Council:
.
Adopt the 1995 Fee Schedule as part of the consent agenda if
no one in the audience desires to comment on the proposed
fees.
RECOMMENDATION:
ACTION REQUIRED:
REVIEWED BY:
,
Approve the 1995 Fee Schedule subject to any specific
Council amendments, after removing the item from the
consent agenda for further discussion.
3. Delay action on the Fee Schedule if additional information is
required by the Council.
Staff would recommend that the City Council approve either Alternate #1
or g2 with respect to the proposed 1995 Fee Schedule at this time so that
the above referenced changes may be applied effective on January 1, 1995.
The exception are those fees changed by ordinance which shall become
effective following date of publication (1/9/95).
