REGULAR P'IEETING OF THE ORONO COiJrICIL, FEBRUI�RY 13, 1979 Page 11 2lavor Van Nest moved, Butler seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION �995 Resolution #995, Additions To The City Of Orono Park Fee Schedule -,. Fee Schedule For 1979. PTotion, Ayes (3) - Plays (0) . (Continued) tir. Alan Olson, City Planner, entered into the RE�'UND - PARK FEES � record the rec�uest for a refund of Park dedication Glenn Upton fees paid by Glenn C. Upton, dated October 16 , 1978, which states: The attached notice is a request for refund of a . $1, 000 park dedication fee paid with buildinc� perriit #3721 on l�iarch 13, 1978. The house has been cor.lpleted and was issued a Certificate of Occupancy on� July 24, 1978. This notice is the first word we have had concerning the question of a refund. The perr►it was issued pursuant to receipt of a variance for lot area and lot width (Case No. 301) issued on Septeriber 26 , 1977. There was a prior house on the site which burned several years previously. There is no record of any park fee being paid except with this building per-rtit. The staff has been charging park fees based upon the authority of Ordinance No. 184. Park fees have been charc�ed at the tine of final subdivision �.3 approval or, on previoulsy platted lots, at the � tir.ie of a building permit. I think there are two areas for policy decisions and/or possible ordinance revisions: 1. The practice of charging fees with subdivisions on the lot or lots which have existing dwellings. _ I suggest charging fees only on the new building sites. . 2. The practice of charging fees with building pernits on previously platted lots. I suggest that if any fee is charged, it be the riinimum fee (r.iaybe $100) . Either would be some contribution but would not be out of line with the reriaining part of the permit fee. 3. A separate issue is establishing some type of fee for comr_iercial or industrial developr�ent. ' Staff Update - January 30, 1979 �IY�en the new park dedication fee schedule is adopted, I would recommend refunding to t3r. Upton the , difference between the $1,000 he paid on 24arch 13, ' 1978 and the new fee for existing lots. � (Continued)
