A.
Administrative Fees. In the administration of the provisions of this
Chapter, the Building Department shall collect all fees for all permits
issued in relation to water, sewer, excavation and building projects.
1.
The administrative fees for building permits shall be collected
at the time of the filing of a petition or an application and shall
be non-refundable. Administrative fees for residential-related permits
shall be forty dollars ($40.00), and for commercial and/or industrial-related
permits the fee shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00).
B.
Cost Of Building Permit. The fee for a building permit for buildings
and structures of all use groups and types of construction as classified
and defined in this Chapter of the Building Code shall be according
to one (1) of the rate schedules listed below. The fee for all building
permits shall be based on the gross square footage and/or the total
construction cost.
All building permits must be obtained prior to the start of
any construction. Any request for building permits made after construction
has begun will be subject to a fee of three hundred dollars ($300.00)
or twice the normal building permit fee, whichever is greater.
1.
Residential. The following formula will be used to determine
the permit fee for new all residential buildings (new construction,
additions, renovations, or alterations) within the City of Byrnes
Mill. Using the total cost of the project and applying the multiplier
of 0.0035 determines the permit fee. If the project has a contract
bid that has been accepted, that will be the total cost. If no contract,
a total cost will be supplied by the permit applicant, compared to
the total cost determined by using the IBC formula for determining
total construction cost. A minimum permit fee of fifty dollars ($50.00)
applies.
2.
Commercial Or Industrial. The following will be used to determine
the permit fee for new commercial and industrial buildings within
the City of Byrnes Mill. Using the total cost of construction and
applying the multiplier of 0.005, the permit fee is determined. If
the project has a contract bid that has been accepted, that will be
the total cost. If there is no contract, the permit applicant will
supply a total cost, compared to the total cost determined by using
the IBC formula for determining total construction cost.
a.
The IBC formula for determining construction value is:
(Gross Area x Gross Area Multiplier x Type of Construction Factor).
b.
In addition, any additional electrical, plumbing, mechanical
and/or footing/foundation inspection anticipated above the normal
amount can be added to the permit fee at the rate of fifty dollars
($50.00) per inspection.

excavated. This deposit shall be returned to the depositor not later
than six (6) months after the work has been completed, inspected,
and the place restored to its original condition. The six-month time
frame will serve as a warranty period. If the excavation is not restored,

Such excavations shall first be backfilled with proper bedding material
recommended by the Public Works Director. The remaining backfill of
the excavation shall be accomplished by lifts of six (6) inches in
depth of Type 1 aggregate as specified in the Missouri Standard Specifications
for Highway Construction. Each lift shall be compacted to ninety-five
percent (95%) of standard proctor density. An optional method of backfilling
of the excavation may be accomplished by the use of concrete flowable
fill. Backfill material shall be brought to the level of the bottom
of the pavement surface or three (3) inches below the top surface
of a bituminous pavement, whichever is more. Prior to paving, saw
cuts shall be made on straight and true lines on all sides a minimum
of one (1) foot beyond the trench and backfill area limits. The pavement
material shall match the type of pavement material existing on the
street, whether bituminous material or concrete material as currently
specified by the Public Works Director. All right-of-way restoration
shall be completed within two (2) weeks of permit approval unless
an extension is approved by the Public Works Director for weather
or other reasons.
