RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-11-91 be received;
2 . THAT the attached By-law detailing the fee schedule for various
types of Planning and Development applications, be approved.
1 . BACKGROUND
1. 1 The current fee schedule for various development applications was
last updated on October 17, 1989 . Considerable time has lapsed
since and it is prudent to revise the fee structure in time for the
preparation of the 1991 Budget.
1 . 2 Section 68 of the Planning Act allows the municipality to pass a
by-law to set out the fee structure for development applications
to offset the anticipated cost to the municipality in processing
each type of application.
2 . COMMENTS
2 . 1 The "Anticipated Cost" 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.

miscellaneous office overhead. Staff have reviewed the process
involved with each type of application, taking into account of the
frequencies of having to serve notices, hold public meetings,
conducting various follow-up circulation of applications, etc. and
arrive at an average cost for each type of application. These
costs are provided in the chart that follows .
