Hillsdale board sets $350 application fee for non‑town events
Summary
After debate about administrative costs and deterrence effects, the board voted to set a $350 application fee for non‑town events (replacing prior zoning-board fee practices).
Board members debated whether the application fee for non‑town events should match the zoning-board fee or be increased to better reflect administrative costs. One member said fees "are supposed to cover the administration costs," and several suggested the town is currently undercharging compared with comparable towns.
The board ultimately moved to establish the application fee at $350 for non‑town events and approved the motion. Members noted that the fee structure and other planning fees should be reevaluated at the start of the next budget cycle to ensure they reflect administrative effort.
