It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-59-93 be received; and
2. THAT the attached amending By-law to By-law 91-2, being a by-
law to prescribe a Fee Schedule for the processing
applications made in respect of Planning and Development
matters, be approved.
1. BACKGROUND
1.1 Section 69 of the Planning Act allows a municipality to pass
a by-law to set out the fee structure for development
applications to offset the anticipated costs to the
municipality in processing each type of application.
2. COMMENTS
2.1 The "Anticipated Costs" in processing each type of application
is not defined in the Planning Act. Most municipalities
generally have taken the approach to meet all costs excluding
staff time. These costs generally include postage, notices,
stationary, photocopying, courier services, site inspections,
travel, phone, fax and other miscellaneous office overhead.
2.2 It has become increasingly more common that applications
through their respective review process are requiring the

necessity of a second and even third "public meeting". This
need has resulted from changes being made to the original
application following the Town's scheduling of "Public
Meeting" pursuant to the requirements of the Planning Act.
2.3 The additional costs for any further public meetings (ie:
notice mail-out and/or newspaper advertisement, postage,
paper, photocopying etc.) was not included in the application
fee schedule contained in By-law 91-2.
2.4 In order to offset the additional cost, it is suggested that
By-law 91-2 be ammended to incorporate a provision that
stipulates that where a public meeting is required in addition
to the prescribed public meeting as noted in the Planning Act,
an additional fee of three hundred ($300.00) dollars is
required for each subsequent public meeting to cover the
town's administration costs.
Respectfully submitted, Recommended for presentation
to the Committee
