The Gladwin County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 25 to raise commercial zoning permit fees for solar, wind and marijuana projects from $75 to $5,000.
Justin Schneider, zoning official, requested the fee increase during the meeting, saying staff workload and project review complexity justified a higher fee. Commissioner Mike Visnaw moved to adopt the higher fee schedule; Commissioner Tami O'Donnell supported the motion and the board approved the change.
The fee change applies to commercial projects for the three categories named and was approved as part of the board’s finance and claims section. The transcript minutes do not list a phased implementation date or an accompanying fee schedule in the record; those details were not specified in the minutes and will require staff follow-up for effective dates and administrative guidance.
The board made the decision by motion during its regular meeting; no recorded opposition was noted in the minutes.
