The City Council considered 1st Reading and Ordered the Public Hearing at the October 1st Meeting. A simple majority is necessary for action. Background Information: Proposed fee changes include the following:  Increasing the current $50 fee to $75 for all zoning permits including accessory structure, above ground swimming pools, and decks. Changes are consistent with the $75 fence fee increase as part of the 2018 budget; proposed changes were intended to take place at that time.  Establishing a Home Occupation Permit Renewal Fee of $50.00 consistent with the existing permit.  Increasing the fee for a zoning ordinance from $12.00 to $20.00  Eliminating the Fence Fees currently under the Building Department. The fee is currently charged under the zoning department. A comparison of the proposed fees to neighboring communities is shown below: City Decks Pool Fence Apple Valley 158 119 119 Burnsville 69 138 69 Cottage Grove 77.5 50 Farmington 25 105 105 Hastings - Proposed 75 75 75 Lakeville 50 50 Rosemount 100 150 75 South St Paul 21 25 30 Financial Impact: Fee increases better reflect staff time in processing permits.
