The Bourbon Town Council members were presented with an ordinance at their most recent meeting that would create a fee schedule for permits and processes for the Board of Zoning Appeals and Plan Commission.
Bourbon Building Commissioner and Zoning Enforcement Officer Chuck DeWitt explained that when the application fee is obtained, a fee will be due at that time. He said other municipalities have a similar ordinance in effect and encouraged the council to consider passing the ordinance on first reading.
Plan Commission fees would include $75 for a zoning ordinance change or rezoning, a minor subdivision application fee of $100, a major subdivision application of $150, and a plus subdivision application fee of $2.00 per lot. A Planned Unit Development (PUD) application fee would be $150 and a plus is $2.00 per lot.
Board of Zoning Appeals fees would be $75 each for a special use/exception, a use variance or a variance of developmental standards.
The proceeds would be receipted to the General Fund in the line item “Other Services and Charges”.
DeWitt said the Plan Commission members gave a favorable recommendation of the ordinance to the Bourbon Town Council.
The Bourbon Town Council members approved the first reading of the ordinance and will hold additional readings at their next meeting in September.
