Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Haas Steffen, <br />Zimmerman, Anderson and Hendriksen. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case/t4: Waiver of Fees for Senior Housing Project <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sherman reiterated that the City of Ramsey, in <br />conjunction with the Anoka County Housing and Redevelopment Authority, are in the <br />process of constructing a senior housing project. Early on, it was discussed that the City <br />fees for the project would be waived, however, no official action was taken to waive the <br />fees during the site plan process. Ms. Sherman observed that the development of the <br />project is publicly financed and it makes sense that we would not charge our fees on a <br />project that we are financing. The fees to be waived include the permit fee, water area <br />charge (WAC), and the sewer area charge (SAC). The fees we will not waive include the <br />plan check fee, state surcharge fee, and metropolitan sewer charge because we have to <br />pay the fees to other agencies and they were included as a project cost. The total fees for <br />the project are $90,426 and Ms. Sherman proposed waiving $53,921 of the total. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hendriksen inquired how the City will get reimbursed for the project to <br />which Mr. Norman responded that we would not. <br /> <br />Councilmember Haas Steffen commented that the City wanted to keep this housing <br />affordable, so we did it with the understanding that the City would be putting in some <br />tangibles. That was known from the beginning. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Haas Steffen and seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman <br />to waive the fees for the City permit, City WAC, and City SAC, totaling $53,921 on the <br />Senior Housing project, and that the record indicates that these fees were waived. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
