Dellwood sets $100 permit recording fee, asks attorney to seek reinstatement on Board of Adjustment
Summary
The council adopted a $100 fee for land-use permits to cover administrative and county recording costs and instructed the city attorney to draft a resolution seeking reinstatement of Dellwood's participation on the county Board of Adjustment and Appeals after an alleged statutory compliance issue.
The Dellwood City Council on July 9 set a $100 fee for applicants who receive land-use permits (variances, conditional use permits, interim use permits, etc.) to cover administrative costs and recording in the Washington County Recorder's Office. Mayor Mike McGill moved the fee, noting recording costs are currently about $52; Greg Boosalis seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Separately, council members discussed a prior county Board of Adjustment and Appeals meeting in which Dellwood's participation was removed due to an alleged failure to comply with an unnamed statute. City representatives who attended that prior meeting deny that Dellwood violated the statute. The council unanimously instructed City Attorney Richard W. Copeland to draft a resolution seeking immediate reinstatement of the city's authority to participate in the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
The minutes do not identify the specific statute referenced; the council asked the attorney to prepare a draft resolution for consideration at a future meeting.
