Page 2 of 3 <br />Brief Description of Request (please also include a typed, detailed letter explaining the project): <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Filing & Information Requirements <br /> <br />The City requests that you make a pre-application meeting with the City Planner to discuss the application <br />process, requirements, and deadlines. Unless waived by the City Planner or Planning Commission, a certified <br />survey of the property is required for all applications. A checklist with additional application requirements can be <br />found at www.cityofardenhills.org/landuseapplications. <br /> <br />Complete/Incomplete Applications <br /> <br />An incomplete application will delay the processing of land use requests. The application ap proval time <br />commences and an application is considered officially filed when the City Planner has received and examined <br />the application and determined that the application is complete. A decision on whether the application is <br />complete or incomplete shall be made within fifteen (15) working days following the submittal of the application. <br />When the application is deemed to be “complete” it shall be placed on the agenda of the first possible Planning <br />Commission meeting provided that all required public notices have been sent and published. <br /> <br />Payment of Fees and Escrows <br /> <br />The undersigned acknowledges that she/he understands that before a land use application can be deemed <br />complete, all required fees and escrows must be paid to the City. Each separate land use request shall be <br />charged a separate administrative fee and escrow even if submitted on the same application. Costs expended in <br />reviewing and processing an application will be charged against the cash escrow and credited to the City. <br />Charges to the escrow may include planning and engineering staff time, City Attorney and consulting fees, and <br />mailing costs. If, at any time, a required cash escrow is depleted to less than 20 percent of its original amount, <br />the applicant shall deposit additional funds in the cash escrow account as determined by the City. The City may <br />withhold final action on a land use application, withhold building permits, and/or rescind prior action until all fees <br />have been paid. Unused portions of an escrow are returned to the applicant upon successful implementation of <br />an approved plan. The escrow may be reduced or increased by the City Planner on a project by project basis. <br /> <br />Notice of Meeting Attendance <br /> <br />In order for the Planning Commission and the City Council to consider any application, the applicant or a <br />designated representative must be present at the scheduled meeting. If not, the matter may be tabled until the <br />next available agenda. <br /> <br /> <br />*IMPORTANT* <br />• Certain applications are subject to review and approval by the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br />Contact RCWD directly at 763-398-3070 for additional information. <br />• The land use application fees do not cover building, sign, or other permit fees that may be <br />required upon approval of a land use application. <br />• All applications will be subject to additional fees for reimbursement of consultant costs <br />associated with filing, reviewing, and processing of application in the form of an escrow to the <br />City.
