Manning broughtup the question of whether the Comprehensive Plan should
be updated only at regularly scheduled times or each time there is a change.
The point was also made that there is a choice: Addressing the Comprehensive
Plan (when there is an impact ot:- a whole area) or simply a zone change (affecting
150 surrounding site).
C. Manning recommended that an applicant going through both the processes
of zoning and comprehensive plan change do so simultaneously and that the fee
structure be based accordingly. C. Springer moved, C. Palmer seconded,
Committee passed.
Discussion of fee structure: C. Manning recommended charging $200.00
for simultaneous zone and comprehensive plan change. The question was asked
whether it was fair that the applicant pay actual costs? Committee requested
information from those setting fee structure concerning actual costs. C.
Manning asked Stan Pine and Don Berringer, who were present, how they felt
about this and they indicated they would prefer being notified up front
of the amount. A further consideration was the short-term (actual costs) vs.
