Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Dustin Johnson, Project Engineer Rick Hixson, City Engineer Chuck Winn, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4248 Storm Water Construction Permit Fee Schedule
MEETING DATE: April 5, 2010
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action
RECOMMENDATION: Commission Resolution No. 4248 to establish a Storm Water Construction Permit Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND: On March 22, 2010 the Commission adopted Ordinance No. 1763 which
outlines and updates the storm water regulations for the City of Bozeman. At the time of
adoption, staff notified Commission that a fee resolution for the storm water construction permits required within the ordinance would be presented to the commission within a few weeks.
Pursuant with Montana Codes Annotated (MCA) 7-7-4404, Commission Resolution No.
4248 establishing storm water construction permit fees has been available for inspection in the
City Engineer’s office. Notice of the proposed fee resolution was published in the Bozeman Chronicle Legal Notices March 21st and 28th of 2010.
The proposed Storm Water Construction Permit fee schedule was established after review
of two factors: First, we considered the Planning fee for each application and elected to not
exceed 10 percent of that fee. This was done in an effort to keep the fees within scale of each other. Second, we considered the time it will take to administer the application, including
inspections. The proposed fee schedule is:
144
Planning Application Storm Water Permit Fee
Major Sketch Plan/COA $25
Major Sketch Plan/COA
Commercial
$50
Final Site Plan $75
PUD – Final Plan $150
Subdivision Final Plat
(minor)
$150
Subdivision Final Plat
(major)
$250
After the Fact Permit $250
FISCAL EFFECTS: The intent of the proposed fee schedule is to recoup the costs of
staff time spent administering these permits. We will track time and costs related to each type of application, and propose future
adjustments as needed.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
