Hills of Lake Eden - master plan fee refund and master
plan approval by Commission
Please recall that the $1,000 master plan fee paid to your office
by the above-referenced applicant was for subdivision master plan
approval for the property under conventional zoning. Staff
conducted one review and therefore incurred cost to review this
submittal. A refund of this fee by your department is within your
discretion, however I can tell you that my department does not
refund fees if the applicant has progressed far enough into the
process such that departments, other than mine, have been involved
in the review.
I cannot refund the second fee that was paid because this covered
review of a brand new application (rezoning), which also required
a master plan to be submitted. Incidentally, there have been more
than the customary two reviews of the master plan submitted under
the rezoning. Therefore, if I had to calculate the city's cost to
review and advertise this rezoning/master plan approval I am
confident that the $1,500 collected would not cover our cost.
I can offer you one more suggestion if you still feel the above is
not fair. Since the fee schedule allows the pre-application plat
fee (even though no pre-application was filed) to be credited to
the plat fee, you could hold the $1,000 fee you collected and apply
it to what they would owe when they submit for platting.
Regarding your concern about the LDR omission of a reference within
the master plan section to Commission approval of master plans, I
still believe that LDR Chapter 1.5, Section 6 covers this to
include Commission approval as the final authority to all Planning
and Development Board decisions. Please realize that the current
master plan is not affected by this omission and should not be
confused with a subdivision master plan because the current master
plan is a rezoning having its own procedure set forth in the PUD
regulations and zoning code.
