MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                  Mayor and Town Council

 

FROM:            W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:       Response to Petition Regarding Application Fees for Master Plans

 

DATE:             June 14, 2004

 

 

At the Council’s May 24 meeting, Mr. Jack Smyre brought a petition to ask for review of development application fees that apply to joint submittals of Master Plans and accompanying Special Use Permits.  The petition requested revision of the fee schedule to correct a double-counting when such applications are submitted and processed simultaneously and to provide a cap for Master Plan application fees.

 

We agree that the fee schedule should be amended to correct this situation.  Our proposal (a component of tonight’s budget) would require one fee rather than two if a Master Plan and Special Use Permit are submitted simultaneously for the same property and establishes a cap for Master Plan application fees.

 

 

Attachment:  May 24, 2004 Petition from Mr. Jack Smyre
