Any person, firm or corporation submitting a request to the Planning Commission for a review of plans or plats and the like shall deposit with the Planning Commission through the Clerk of Commissions, cash or a certified check in the minimum amount of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), which deposit shall be given to the Director of Finance and placed in a special deposit account. The Director of Planning shall coordinate the plan review with the Director of Engineering, Director of Inspections, Fire Chief, Police Chief, City Architect and other City consultants and departments as deemed necessary by the Planning Commission.
At the time the report is completed by the Planning Commission, the Clerk of Commissions shall prepare a schedule of costs incurred and shall itemize such costs and submit the same as an attachment to the report. The costs as described herein shall be the actual costs of time spent on the matter referred and will be separately billed by the expert or agency to which the matter had been referred. The costs shall be deducted from the amount of the deposit and the balance, less any minimum fees to be paid by the applicant, shall be returned to the applicant by the Director of Finance. Any costs incurred above the deposit shall be paid by the applicant.
The above fees shall be considered to be minimum fees and, in addition thereto, the applicant for approval of such plans shall reimburse the City for all costs incurred for publication, postage, notice and review by the City Architect, the Director of Engineering, the City Engineer Consultant, the City Traffic Engineer, the Regional Planning Commission, the City Planner or other experts. The fees for the plans set forth herein shall be separately paid for consideration or preliminary approval and for consideration of final approval irrespective of the fact that the Planning Commission recommends approval or disapproval.
