CASE # <br /> <br /> ADOPT ORDINANCE TO. RATIFY 2003 <br />BUILDING CONSTRUCTION, PLANNING, SUBDIVIDING AND PLATTING FEES <br />By: Community Development Director Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On January 14, 2003, the City Council introduced an ordinance to ratify the rates and charges <br />that were established last November. Those rates included building construction, planning, <br />subdividing and platting fees. State law requires that these types of rates be established by <br />ordinance. When Council introduced the ordinance at their last meeting, it was specified that the <br />building valuation used to calculate building permit fees would be based on the May 2002 rates <br />established by the Building Codes and Standards Division of the Minnesota Department of <br />Administration. The May 2002 table has been referenced in the draft ordinance. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Since the introduction of the ordinance, the Building Official has received verbal communication <br />that the Building Codes and Standards Division will be recommending a plan check fee of 25% <br />of the Building Permit fee for like plans. That revision has also been included in the ordinance <br />draft and will be verified prior to the Council meeting. Also, the Community Development <br />Department has found it necessary to establish a rate for copies of the Ramsey Business List. <br />The proposed fee would be $20.00. <br /> <br />The City Attorney has been advised of these changes and has determined that a re-introduction <br />of the ordinance is not necessary. According to the City Charter, the ordinance is now eligible <br />for adoption. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends adoption of the ordinance to ratify 2003 rates. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember and seconded by Councilmember <br />adopt Ordinance #03- to ratify the 2003 building construction and planning fees. <br /> <br />Roll Call Vote: <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br />Building Official & Inspectors <br />Finance Officer <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />Councilmember Pearson <br />Councilmember Strommen <br />Councilmember Elvig <br />Councilmember Kurak <br />Councilmember Zimmerman <br />Councilmember Cook Orl./ <br />Mayor Gamec t~ <br /> <br />to <br /> <br />CC: 01/28/03 <br /> <br />-79~ <br /> <br /> <br />
