Work group adopts waiver-fee resolution setting $245 minimum fee for requests
Summary
The work group adopted a resolution establishing a waiver fee table for universal design waiver requests, with a stated minimum fee of $245 plus a 5% technology fee; resolution will be added to DPIE's fee schedule and can be adjusted by future resolutions.
The Universal Design Work Group adopted a resolution to establish administrative fees for universal design waiver requests, formalizing a minimum fee of $245 plus a 5% technology fee.
Kathy Canning explained the bill does not set the exact fee, so the linked resolution and attachment adopt the fee table. "The minimum fee is $245," she said, noting the fee table is attached to the resolution and that future fee changes can be made by updating the table rather than amending code.
Staff clarified that the fee is assessed per waiver item, per dwelling unit; if one applicant requests three separate waivers for a single dwelling unit, the per-waiver fee applies to each requested waiver. The work group voted to move the resolution forward to the County Council, and the motion carried.
Members described the resolution approach as consistent with county practice of adopting fee amounts by resolution so that future fee updates do not require code changes.
