1361.01 BUILDING, DEMOLITION AND REMOVAL FEES.

   (a)   Fees to be Collected for Buildings and Structures Together with Certain Appurtenances and Equipment. The fees to be collected for permits issued for the construction, additions to, alterations, repair and demolishing of buildings and structures together with their appurtenances and certain equipment shall be as follows:

(Ord. 47-1984. Passed 4-23-84.)

      (1)   Removal and Demolition:

 

Sanitary sewer cut-off      $75.00 All buildings          40.00

         (Ord. 155-2005. Passed 11-28-05.)

      (2)   New Structures or Additions and Alterations to Existing Structures or Change of Use and Occupancy: Before a permit is granted, the Commissioner of Building and Zoning Inspection shall determine the fees for plan examination and building permits by one of the following methods:

         A.   Square footage method: Work that can be determined on the gross square footage of the building or structure, the fees for plan examination and building permits shall be determined by the following formula:

               SF x GAM x PFM x CF

            1.   SF (Square Footage) = See plans = The gross area shall be the floor area within the perimeter of the outside walls of the building under consideration and any areas covered by roof or overhead structures or any porches, decks, landings or similar structures greater than six inches above grade.

               (Ord. 98-1997. Passed 6-9-97.)

            2.   GAM (Gross Area Modifier) = 70 = The value which, extrapolated from the national construction estimating standards, reflects the overall average cost per square foot of all building construction as adjusted for the City.

               (Ord. 155-2005. Passed 11-28-05.)

            3.   PFM (Permit Factor Multiplier) = 0.0050 = The value, calculated by the City based on annual reports, which reflects the calculated value of the department budget times the percentage of department revenue to be collected through permit fees divided by the annual value of construction reported.

            4.   CF (Type of Construction Factor) = See Table = The value extracted from the table that follows.
