A.
Findings.
1.
The City of Cottleville hereby finds and determines that the
fees heretofore imposed in connection with building permits and certain
zoning, rezoning and permit applications and requests for plan and
plat reviews and site inspections for projects and construction within
the City of Cottleville are not sufficient to maintain funding of
the services, programs and activities related to review and issuance
of such applications, permits, requests for review and site inspections,
including, but not limited to, the activities of the Director of Public
Works and the Planning and Zoning Commission. It is therefore necessary
to increase such fees to assure that the City recovers a sufficient
amount to pay for the services, programs and activities provided by
the Director of Public Works, City staff, and the Planning and Zoning
Commission.
2.
The Director of Public Works has prepared a statement of the
costs necessary to maintain the funding of such services, programs
and activities which indicates the service, program or activity supported
by the fees and has conducted a review of the BOCA Code and other
associated costs to determine the appropriate range of fees for services
provided by the City.
C.
Schedule Of Zoning and Subdivision Fees. The Director
of Public Works shall prepare a Schedule of Zoning and Subdivision
Fees, to be adopted by the Board of Aldermen, by ordinance. The City
Clerk will maintain a copy of the Schedule of Zoning and Subdivision
Fees on file with City Records. Any revision to the Schedule of Zoning
and Subdivision Fees must be approved by the Board of Aldermen, by
ordinance. The Director of Public Works and City staff are authorized
and directed to collect the foregoing fees from all applicants for
permits, reviews and authorizations.
