Wallsburg planning commission asks council to consider waiving $200 fee when applicants need only one appearance
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to forward a recommendation to the town council that the $200 permit deposit be waived when applicants only need a single appearance before the commission; the commission asked staff to present the proposed change to the council.
At its Aug. 19 meeting, the Wallsburg Planning Commission voted to forward a recommendation to the town council asking that the $200 application deposit be waived when applicants appear only once before the planning commission.
Members debated whether a council policy or fee-schedule update would be required. One commissioner noted that the fee schedule had not been updated recently and suggested the council should decide whether to implement an exemption. A motion to recommend the waiver to the town council was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; commissioners asked staff to include the recommendation on the council agenda so the council can take formal action.
The commission did not change the fee itself; it approved only a recommendation for council consideration. No specific effective date or administrative language for a waiver was specified in the planning commission discussion; staff were directed to convey the recommendation to the council.
