II TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager ..;� FROM: Paul Krauss, Planning Director I- 10 i I DATE: January 9, 1991 II SUBJ: Development Fees r_ _ I BACKGROUND I have been made aware that it has been a period of at least five years since the City has last re- evaluated it's schedule of I development fees. This list covers the charges we require for submittal with applications for development reviews, variances, planning related actions and planning publications. '' 1 Re- evaluation of this schedule on a relatively constant basis should be undertaken to ensure that fees are consistent with those II being charged by similar communities elsewhere in the Twin Cities. In addition, due to budgetary constraints that we are all familiar with, it may behoove the City to consider looking into having new development pay the full cost of the city review procedure. I Traditionally, the Planning Department has operated from General Fund Revenues charging development review fees that are nominal and do not approach covering the costs in staff time associated with II review of the proposal. This has been viewed in the past as having a positive approach towards development in the community which is certainly a worthy goal. On the other hand, it has resulted in essentially having existing property owners in the city subsidize I the cost of reviewing new development. In this time of budgetary constraints, a number of communities are looking into alternatives that would result in more accurately reflecting costs of I development on the applicant. A third reason for reviewing the fee schedule is that as administrative procedures and ordinances are refined, there are new actions requiring fees such as the new II grading and mining ordinance, interim use permit ordinance, administrative site plan review and involvement of the City Attorney in filing of plats and other development approvals. 1 Our reviews of the fee structure are predicated upon the goal of maintaining low cost access to the City for individual homeowners II 1 Development Review Fee Schedule • January 9, 1991 Page 2 and small property owners. Consequently, costs associated with applications such as those which we normally review from these individuals are proposed to be kept artificially low. The following constitutes our recommendations for a revised fee schedule for 1991. 1 ITEM 1 - DEVELOPMENT SIGNS As the Council may recall, late last summer an ordinance was ' approved requiring the posting of development signs on projects undergoing rezoning, comprehensive plan amendment, site plan review, conditional use permits, interim use permits or platting of more than 3 lots. The purpose of this ordinance change was to ' require the posting of signs that would help in notifying adjoining property owners of development proposals being reviewed by the • city. Towards this end it would supplement the publication of legal notices and mailings that are already undertaken. The City Council decided that the signs should be acquired by the city and rented to the applicant for a fee of $100 with a damage deposit of an additional $100. Under the approved program, the applicant would be responsible for obtaining the sign from the city, installing it and returning it to the city at the completion of action of the proposal. The Council authorized the acquisition of 11 20 signs to initiate the program. Staff ordered the signs and related installation materials in December and expects to receive them shortly. The signs read, "Proposed Development - This Site - 1 Contact the City of Chanhassen for Further Information" and are white with a background of the City Maple Leaf logo. The original fee structure was based on the assumption that the 1 signs would cost $200 each. Ultimately, we were able to procure them for substantially less. The signs and related materials cost $110 a piece. Therefore, we are recommending that a $50 rental fee be required along with a $100 damage deposit that will be returned when the sign is received back in good condition. ITEM 2 - ADMINISTRATIVE SITE PLAN REVIEW Last year the site plan review ordinance was amended to recognize that staff may sometimes be in a position to approve limited additions or modifications to site plans. These are extremely limited in scope and do not represent new development on parcels. An example of this would be the addition of pollution control equipment on The Press Building and Instant Web and addition of a canopy and modified parking currently being reviewed for the Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. Since this is a new item, no fee structure has been established for it. Given the relatively small amount of staff time involved in reviewing these items and administering them, we believe the fee should be set at $100 per 1 1 Development Review Fee Schedule January 9, 1991 Page 3 application. ITEM 3 - GRADING AND MINING ' Last spring, the City adopted a new ordinance regulating all grading, excavation and mining activities within the city. The scope of activities covered by this ordinance ranges from a homeowner who wishes to move more than 50 cubic yards of dirt to a request to move several hundred thousand yards of clay for the Eden Prairie Landfill. To undertake this work, staff has been relying on the fee schedule for these activities specified in the Uniform Building Code. This has worked rather well except for the fact that because the fees are not established in the City Fee Structure, they have only been assessed as a part of an approval and are not obtained as an up front cost with the submittal of the application. The UBC fee schedule be established as outlined below: TABLE-- NO.70 -B - GRADING PERMIT FEES 50 cubic yards or Tess $15.00 51 to 100 cubic yards $22.50 101 to 1000 cubic yards - $22.50 for the first 100 cubic yards plus $10.50 for each additional 100 cubic yards or fraction thereof 1001 to 10,000 cubic yards - $117.00 for the first 1,000 cubic yards, plus $9.00 for each additional 1,000 cubic yards or fraction thereof 10,001 to 100,000 cubic yards - $198.00 for the first 10,000 cubic yards, plus $40.50 for each additional 10,000 cubic yards or fraction thereof 100,001 cubic yards or more - $562.50 for the first 100,000 cubic yards, plus $22.50 for each additional 10,000 cubic yards or fraction thereof Other Inspections and Fees: 1 1. Inspections outside of normal business hours $30.00 per hour (minimum charge - two hours) 2. Reinspection fees assesed under provisions of Section 305 $30.00 per hour 3. Inspections for which no fee is specifically indicated $30.00 per hour (minimum charge - one -half hour) The grading fee schedule works well with applications for more than 100,000 cubic yards that require approval of an interim use permit. However, staff processes a large number of these applications for smaller amounts of material such as may be requested by a homeowner or contractor undertaking a small job. For these we are recommending that a $50 fee be established since we are not trying 1 1 Development Review Fee Schedule January 9, 1991 Page 4 ' to be punitive but are desiring to be in a position to work with these individuals so that problems associated with their grading activities may be avoided. ITEM 4 - CITY ATTORNEY FEE STRUCTURE FOR FILING PLATS AND OTHER DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS 1 From time to time in the past, staff has outlined to the City Council numerous problems that have developed due to our present ' system of relying on the applicant to file plats, easements and other development approvals. There have been numerous instances where easements that were required as a part of the approval were either omitted or incorrectly filed, where outlots that were to be 1 deeded to the city were not properly conveyed, where easements that were expected were improperly drafted and .did not convey or meet the city expectations. The city has attempted after the fact to ' have conditions of approval filed against parcels unsuccessfully only to find out that the property owner is now refusing to cooperate or to provide the city with the required title documentation. -Most communities I am familiar with avoid these 1 problems entirely by controlling the process from start to finish. What these communities do is require that the filing of all documentation be handled by in -house staff so that reliance on the ' applicant is omitted. A proposal on these lines has been discussed with the Council and Planning Commission on several occasions and is a goal that has been established for 1991. Staff has had 1 several meetings with the City Attorney to work out procedures that would be applied and also to develop a fee schedule that hopefully shifts the cost burden away from the small property owner or homeowner as much as possible. The filing costs that are being proposed in the attached memo from the City Attorney are not entirely new costs for the applicant since they often have to pay their own attorney to undertake the same work. We are confident ' that handling matters in this manner will result in a more efficient approval and documentation process and more effective management of new development for the city. It should be noted ' that this filing program is based upon the applicants having their attorneys draft up accurate easement language and providing the city with the required title documentation. Failure to undertake these efforts will result in additional work effort by the City 1 Attorney which we anticipate billing back to the applicant. ITEM 5 - INTERIM USE PERMIT 1 The interim use permit ordinance is a new one that was approved in 1989. As you may recall, it was designed to provide for uses that 1 require special review and considerations such as conditional use permits traditionally had done but are temporary in nature. For example, horse stables in the RSF District are allowed as interim 1 1 1 Development Review Fee Schedule January 9, 1991 Page 5 use permits. There is no commensurate fee structure established for interim use permits so staff simply started charging an identical fee with the conditional use permit requirements. We are recommending that this be the case and whatever fees are charged for conditional use permits are also charged for interim use permits since they are quite similar in nature. ITEM 6 - GENERAL FEE STRUCTURE 1 As was noted in the opening statements of this memo, costs associated with development review have traditionally been born by the General Fund and therefore, by existing tax payers in the city. Costs associated with development reviews include all those functions of the Planning and Engineering Departments relative to developing a project, taking it through the approval process and ensuring that it is properly constructed and maintained. To a certain extent, some of these costs are offset by excess revenue generated by the Building Permit Fee Program but this is generally not taken into consideration. As budgetary constraints grow on local units of government, they are seeking new and innovative ways to cover costs. Chanhassen has generally adopted a policy that new development is intended to pay it's own way relative to hard capital costs associated with supplying a development with new utilities and streets, etc. However, this has not been the case with staff time associated with project reviews. Staff is aware that other communities are considering methods to charge these costs back directly to the applicant for development proposals and undertook an informal survey of a number of communities that have had similar experiences. The communities that were contacted generally fall into two groups. Those who undertake a traditional approach towards fee structure similar to what is already in place in Chanhassen and those that have either raised their application fees to recover costs or who require the escrow of funds by the applicant which are then drawn down by the city as costs are incurred. Contacted communities that operate under the traditional approach include: 1 Apple Valley Plymouth Rosemount Fridley Burnsville Of those communities, Burnsville noted that they require payment for all consultant fees relative to an application. Apple Valley indicated that they had considered charging developers and thought it was a worthy idea but that administratively the billing 1 Development Review Fee Schedule January 9, 1991 Page 6 procedures and verification procedures were too cumbersome. Plymouth indicated that they had considered such a system in the past but found it to be too cumbersome and have rather taken the approach of trying to keep their fee structure current with inflation. The City of Rosemount indicated that they charge out for engineering staff and other consultant reviews since engineering is undertaken by outside consultants in that community. ' However, they also indicated that they are on the verge of undertaking an increased fee structure to cover costs. Fridley indicated that only consultant fees are billed to developers. ' The communities that indicated that they have revised their fee structure along the guidelines of having new development pay it's own way include the cities of: Eagan Champlin Bloomington ' Eden Prairie Woodbury Cottage Grove Maple Grove A summary of these communities' programs follow. Champlin requires ' the deposit of escrow fees in addition to application fees which are drawn down as costs are incurred. For example, the escrow fee for a 10 to 50 acre subdivision is $1000 which is in addition to the $325 plus $10 per lot application fee. Site plan approvals are $250 application fees plus a $300 escrow. We find that many of the communities that undertake such fees handle them in a similar manner. The City of Eagan charges back the costs of plats with an ' escrow fee arrangement and consultant fees as well. Eagan has considered charging for other types of review such as site plan reviews and conditional use permits, however, it has not yet ' embarked on a program to raise these fees. It should be noted that Eagan has had problems with their fee program since their accounting procedures were not up to the task. They essentially wound up overspending the escrow deposits and then were unable to ' collect from a number of developers. Since these funds had been budgeted, the city wound up with a fairly significant shortfall in revenues that they have thus far been unable to resolve. Eden Prairie has raised their application fees to cover these costs. The Community Development Director for the City of Cottage Grove has indicated that he managed a program in Brooklyn Park in a prior job that required the escrow of funds to cover costs. In Cottage Grove they are requiring the escrow of funds for platting as well as an increase in permit application fees for other planning functions. Maple Grove requires, for example, a $250 fee plus $5 per lot cash deposit to be applied for staff review expenses relative to preliminary platting. An escrow for attorney fees and 1 • 1 Development Review Fee Schedule January 9, 1991 Page 7 engineering expenses is also required. The City of Woodbury has established a fairly straight forward program where they require the payment of an initial application fee and then have sliding formulas for the creation of an escrow fund to cover staff expenses. Plats, lot divisions, site plans, conditional use permits and other requests are all charged back to the applicant. Of the cities that responded positively to this survey, the City of Bloomington provided the most interesting information. They indicated that they had investigated the potential of requiring the escrow of funds but ultimately went with a program of raising application fees to cover the application process and costs. They appear to have taken this approach due to the cost and complexity associated with developing escrow funds and administering them. They provided a calculation of 1988 department revenues relative to proposed revenues when the new fee schedule is adopted. They experienced a 290% increase in fees from $25,000 per year to $98,000 per year. The Bloomington fee structure, for example, establishes a $500 charge for conditional use permits, plats cost $300 plus $50 per lot for single family subdivisions and final plats being $250 plus $10 per lot, thus the total charge is 1 equivalent of $550 plus $60 per lot. PUD costs are $2,500. Based upon the foregoing information and my personal discussions with the planners of these communities, I believe that our fee structure is in need of being overhauled. The amounts we charge are apparently low when compared with other communities and do not even attempt to cover our costs. However, I am reluctant to suggest a program that relies on the depositing of escrow funds. Most of the communities that utilize this approach have had difficulties relative to administering the escrow funds. I know that having worked with our Accounting Department in Chanhassen that we are already taxing their time and .capabilities to keep track of bonds, letter of credits and other financial guarantees required with applications already and am reluctant to burden them further. I believe that the Bloomington approach has considerable merit and have accordingly developed a revised fee structure for those applications that hopefully reflects costs to a greater extent then is currently the case. In keeping with prior city policies, fees for applications that would normally be received from a homeowner are not proposed to be significantly altered. It is hoped that by keeping.fees for variances, grading permits for small amounts of material and small plats to a minimum, the city can keep these procedures available at moderate costs to our residents. 1 ITEM 7 - PUBLICATIONS.

Although the survey was competed, I thought a more detailed explanation was necessary. , The City of Champlin requires a developer to submit an escrow fee with the initial application submittal for subdivisions, site plans, rezonings, etc. This escrow fee is intended to cover all principal staff time when working on a specific application (principal staff includes myself, the City Engineer, the City Administrator, and the Senior Engineering Tech). This escrow fee ' does not, however, cover secretarial time (this is included in the application fee, as are all the public hearing notification costs) . Because the application escrow is only an estimate of the review costs that will be charged to a project, there is a possibility that the escrow deposit could become deficient, at which time a developer would be required to submit a second escrow deposit. The City has adopted an Ordinance that stipulates a project review may be suspended if a developer's escrow account becomes deficient. I hope this information is of benefit to your study. If I could assist you in any way in the future, please contact me at 421 -3055. Sincerely, Steven P.

Regarding your question on consultant fees, almost all of these fees are relative to public improvement projects which are always administered by the City. Consultant fees for feasibility or traffic studies, etc. are allocated to their appropriate project and assessed accordingly. Although not much of it is relevant to development fees and charges, I have attached Chapter 5 of the City code which relates to all city fees, charges, and rates. The section most pertinent to your survey can be found in Section 550, Planning and Zoning Fees and Charges. I hope this information will be helpful. Should you have any questions or need ' further information, please feel free to contact me.
