Commission approves one‑year permit extension for 200 13th Street; deliberates on extension fee
Summary
The Commission approved a one‑year permit extension for 200 13th Street but deferred a decision on whether to charge the ordinance‑permitted extension fee (up to 10% of the permit fee) until the next meeting.
The commission approved a one‑year permit extension for the property at 200 13th Street and asked city staff to return at the next meeting with a recommendation on associated administrative fees.
Building Official Tony Loreno explained the extension request and noted the city's ordinance authorizes charging up to 10% of the permit fee for extensions; he said contractors automatically qualify for extensions during certain storm events. Commissioner Tom DiFransico said the contractor appeared to be making a good‑faith effort and proposed waiving the additional fee. After brief discussion, the commissioner withdrew an amended motion and then moved to approve the extension while deferring the fee decision to the next meeting; the motion passed by unanimous roll call.
Loreno said he would research comparable administrative charges (noting the City of Marathon charges $250 for permit extensions) and return with a fee recommendation for the commission to consider.
