Rushford Village planning commission considers revising zoning fees
Summary
Commission members proposed updates to the zoning fee schedule, noting staff time and storm‑damage repair handling; no fee change was adopted at the March 17 meeting and members asked staff to return with specifics.
Rushford Village Planning and Zoning Commission members discussed possible revisions to the village's zoning fee schedule at their March 17 meeting.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Jon Pettit reported that permit processing requires staff time and costs the village money. Commissioners Gordon Johnson and Hamilton Petersen presented suggested revisions to the fee schedule (referenced in the minutes as Exhibit A) intended to better reflect staff time and permit complexity. Johnson and Petersen also raised the question of whether the village should charge for storm‑damage repairs; Pettit noted some cities waive fees for storm repairs and that insurance often covers those costs.
No formal change to the fee schedule was adopted. The commission recorded the suggestions and did not vote on an updated schedule during the meeting; members indicated they would consider the proposed revisions and follow up at a future meeting.
Pettit handled routine permitting updates during the same agenda item and no immediate financial decisions were made. The commission's next scheduled zoning meeting is April 21, 2026, when fee revisions could be revisited.
