Notes:

1 Cost recovery—Applicant is required to pay consultant’s fees to review specialized designs, including but not limited to structural walls and bridges. County will send the consultant’s bill to the applicant; total amount must be paid before the project is approved or finalized.

2 The preliminary engineering fees section was previously part of Table 6.110A.010.

3 Previously combined with planning fees.

4 Fee is in addition to stormwater and transportation fees associated with a land division and/or site plan.

5 Includes stormwater and transportation fees.

6 “Impervious surface” is defined in Section 40.385.010(D).

7 Fees reflect changes to Section 40.550.010, Modifications to Road Standards, per Ordinance 2011-01-01.

8 There is no fee for minor road deviations requested at the same time as a related land use or engineering application. This minor road deviation stand alone fee applies to applications not associated with a land use or engineering permit.

9 The hourly rate fee is calculated using a standard annual hourly rate schedule (by job classification) multiplied by actual staff hours spent on the project. The hourly rate includes salary, benefits, and program overhead. County will send a final itemized billing, less any initial deposit, that must be paid before the project is approved or finalized.

10 This fee only applies when development engineering review is requested by community development.

11 When the application requires both a transportation and stormwater review, only one (1) issuance fee is required.
