2:30 P.M. - FILE AM96-07 - TITLE 12 - PROPOSED REVISIONS TO LAND USE FEE SCHEDULE - BONNER COUNTY is initiating an amendment to the current fee schedule for fees charged for applications, procedures, services and other associated department fees of the Bonner County Planning Department. The proposed changes call for a graduated fee schedule for administration of sureties ("bonds") for completion of development improvements. The amendment retains the current $200 fee for cash sureties of up to $100,000; establishes a revised fee of $250 for non-cash sureties of up to $100,000 plus $10 per financial document; $250 plus the $10 charge per financial document and the actual cost of surveyor or engineer review for agreements between $100,000 and $1 million. Each $1 million increment would require an additional $50, up to a maximum of $500. Other adjustments to the fee schedule include reducing the cost of public hearing compact discs (CDs) to $6.25; setting a fee of 25 cents per page for more than 100 letter-sized copies; including floodplain development permit fees of $25 and $70, which are already listed under Title 11 (building location permit) charges and a floodway review fee of $100; and providing a new fee for stormwater/erosion control revisions and modifications to equal the actual cost of professional services. Copies of the proposed fee schedule are available for review at the planning department. The Board of Commissioners may adopt the fee schedule by resolution.
