ORDINANCE NO.: 159
AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING FEES FOR PLANNING AND ZONING
APPLICATIONS TO THE CITY OF SCANDIA AND
REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 138
The City Council of the City of Scandia, Washington County, Minnesota hereby ordains:
Section 1. Planninz and Zoning Application Fees.
(A) Applications for consideration of any planning, zoning and/or subdivision and
zoning requests pursuant to the Development Code of the City of Scandia shall be accompanied
by the fees as specified in this ordinance. No application shall be considered complete until the
fees have been paid. Application fees are not refundable.
(B) In addition to the application fee, applicants shall be required to reimburse the city
for all out-of-pocket costs that are incurred for processing, reviewing and hearing the application.
These costs shall include, but are not limited to: parcel searches; publication and mailing of
notices; review by the city's engineering, planning and other consultants; legal costs, and
recording fees. A minimum escrow deposit to cover these costs shall be collected by the city at
the time of application. The Zoning Administrator shall have discretion to increase the amount
of the escrow for any application at any time if the city's costs are reasonably expected to exceed
the minimum amount. The Zoning Administrator shall also have discretion to require an escrow
deposit even where no minimum amount is specified by this ordinance, if authorized by the
Development Code.
(C) Applications for projects requiring more than one type of review (for example, a
Conditional Use Permit and a Preliminary Plat) shall include the cumulative total of all
application fees specified for each type of review. The minimum escrow deposit shall be the
cumulative total for each type of application required for the project, unless the Zoning
Administrator determines that this amount would significantly exceed the city's reasonable
expenses to review the applications, in which case the amount of the escrow deposit may be
reduced.
(D) After review of the application has been completed and all costs have been paid,
any costs exceeding the escrow balance shall be invoiced to the applicant. Any escrow balance
remaining shall be refunded to the applicant. No interest shall be paid on escrow deposits.
(E) Amendments to previously approved applications shall require the payment of the
same fees as for the initial permit application, except for Plan Modifications not requiring review
by the Planning Commission and City Council or as otherwise provided by the Development
Code.
