Mayor Uzpen and Gem Lake Council Members.... <br />A question about re -zoning fees for the new Garden Overlay District (to: Trevor Oliver), <br />Thank you! <br />Tom Hansen <br />From: "Tom & Beth Hansen" <tmheah@comcast:net> <br />To: 'Trevor S. Oliver" <toliver c keilyandlemmons.com> <br />Cc: "Beth & Tom Hansen" <tmheah©comcast.net>, "Jerry Filla" <jfilla a@pfb-pa.com> <br />Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 10:24:18 AM <br />Subject: RE: Gem Lake Garden Overlay Fees: Question <br />Trevor, <br />It seems reasonable to me, that the fees ($4,000, plus escrow $4,000, plus) charged for <br />the "re -zoning to Garden Overlay District, ought to correlate in someway to the costs to <br />do the re -zoning by the City and not necessarily reflect the standard costs for re -zoning <br />process to other land classifications which would be far more complicated and require <br />exponentially more time and effort from staff. I believe it is important to re-evaluate the <br />fees the. City has appropriated to this process. Could it be that we up -front the $8,000 <br />(as noted for fees and escrow) and at the conclusion of the re -zoning process, be <br />reimbursed for the total unused portion of the fees and escrow? It certainly should not <br />cost $4,000 plus to do a "simple more streamlined re -zoning for this particular issue. <br />(as discussed at last night's. Council meeting). It t seems like a lot of money for a <br />process, which for all practical purposes, is currently in compliance with the use it is <br />being "re -zoned" for. <br />Thanks again! <br />Tom <br />
