City Council Memorandum
To: Mayor Hicks & City Councilmembers
From: John Hinzman, Community Development Director
Date: October 15, 2018
Item: Public Hearing\2nd Reading: City Code Amendment – Community Development
and Building Fees
Council Action Requested:
Hold a public hearing and consider 2nd Reading and Ordinance Adoption of the attached
amendment to Hastings City Code Chapter 34.03 – Fee Schedule. 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. Zoning Permit fees
have not been raised in nearly 10 years.
