These fees are currently 20 for plan review, and 3% for permit fees , of the estimated construction costs . This fee schedule is fair and equitable for normal size projects . However, it is possible for this fee on large projects to amount to more than the actual costs incurred. For this reason, we recommend that the Director of Public Works/City Engineer be authorized to accept a deposit to cover the" estimated plan review and permit costs for large projects . Large projects are defined as those in excess of 5 acres, or the estimated construction cost of the on-site improvements is in excess of $500 , 000 . Any balance remaining, after deducting the actual costs incurred, will be refunded to the applicant. In the event that the actual costs exceed the deposit, the applicant will be billed for the overrun. We recommend that the option of accepting a deposit for large projects be approved. URGENCY CLAUSE: This action needs to be accomplished as soon as possible, in order that prospective developers can finalize their decision on proposed developments . 7-27-93 75-0264
