Developers required to pay $1,300 consultant fee for planner reviews, Village clarifies
Summary
Council discussed the status of a recent development review on NE 24th Street and the Village Attorney confirmed the developer‑paid review structure: developers pay a $1,300 consultant fee plus application fees; the Village then pays the Planner for review work.
The council discussed recent development review work tied to NE 24th Street and confirmed that major consultant expenses for that review have largely concluded. The developer has been provided the land development application package but has not yet submitted completed materials; council noted that future developers may trigger additional consultant review.
Village Attorney Pamala Ryan clarified the planner‑review cost structure: developers are required to pay a $1,300 consultant fee in addition to application fees. Developers remit payment to the Village as part of the application process and the Village then pays the Planner for review work. Council said this practice helps ensure the Village does not absorb most planner costs associated with development applications.
