(b) Plan Checking and Field Inspection Fees. At the time such plans, profiles, and specifications are submitted for review, the City Engineer shall prepare an estimate of cost for office checking of all improvement plans. The subdivider shall thereupon deposit with the City an amount of money equal to such estimated cost. All work done by the Engineer in connection with checking, computing and correcting such plans for improvements shall be charged against such deposit. Plan checking fee shall be based upon the following schedule:
$200.00 plus $50.00 per Acre for the initial review.
$200.00 for each additional review. Major field changes involving extra work or material may require a recalculation of the fees at the discretion of the City Engineer.
The subdivider shall also pay to the City a fee to defray the cost of field inspection of the improvements. The inspection fee shall be determined by the City Engineer based upon the following schedule:
Flat fee of 1% of the estimated construction cost. Said fee shall be calculated using the engineer’s itemized cost estimate and shall be the same cost estimate used in calculating the performance bond amount as required in Section 1113.02. Major field changes involving extra work or material may require a recalculation of the fees at the discretion of the City Engineer. Said additional extra work shall be billed to the developer at $45.00/hr.
The subdivider is held responsible for inspection fees which will be payable upon commencement of improvements. The performance bond posted by the subdivider guarantees the payment of all inspection fees and no bonds will be released until all inspection fees have been paid in full.
(c) Recording Fees: The developer shall be responsible for any and all fees charged to the Stark County Auditor and Stark County Recorder regarding the recording and transfer of the final plat and related documents.
