(a) Permit fees.
(1) A permit fee in the amount of $25 shall be paid to the Director of Finance and Public Record when a permit is issued.
(2) No permit fee will be required for nonfarm, earth-disturbing activities which have been provided for in an already-approved stormwater management plan (i.e., home construction on a lot in an approved subdivision with an approved stormwater management plan).
(b) Plan checking and field inspection fees.
(1) A person who obtains a stormwater management permit, upon approval of a stormwater management plan which involves design and construction of stormwater management facilities, shall submit design plans, quantities and itemized cost estimates for the facilities, prepared by a registered professional engineer or registered professional architect, to the City Engineer for review and approval. A certified check in the amount of $150, or 1% of the project construction cost estimates, whichever is greater, not to exceed $5,000, shall be paid to the Director of Finance and Public Record before issuance of the stormwater management permit, to offset the costs of plan review and field inspection of the construction to assure its conformity to the plans. A record shall be kept of the actual costs incurred by the City Engineer for the inspection. The costs shall be charged against the amount deposited. Any remaining money shall be returned to the developer.
(2) If the stormwater management facilities to be constructed are part of a subdivision being developed under the Subdivision Regulations of the city, and the filing, plan review and inspection fees for stormwater management facilities are included under § 1242.05 of the Subdivision Regulations, then this provision of this chapter shall be waived.
