OF PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE PARTIES RECEIVING
THE BENEFITS OF SUCH SERVICES; LOWERING THE COST
FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL; PROVIDING FOR
LIMITED REFUND; REPEALING ANY OTHER FEE

WHEREAS, the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners wishes to
provide the citizens of the County with the best possible service in the most cost effective
and reasonable manner; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that it would be in the best interests of the general
public to charge the true cost for such services, thereby placing the burden of such costs
directly upon those parties deriving the benefit from such services; and,
WHEREAS, the updated fee schedule prepared by the Growth Management
Director for providing these services includes the estimated direct costs and reasonable
indirect costs associated with the review and processing of planning and development
approval applications and site plans, on-site biological reviews, administrative appeals,
preparation of official documentation verifying existing development rights and other
processes and services; and
WHEREAS, the Board heard testimony and evidence presented as to the
appropriate fee schedule during a public hearing on May 20,2009; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners wishes to reduce the fee for
administrative appeal to a cost that will not prevent warranted appeals from moving
forward and that will not inordinately burden the applicant;
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners acknowledges that a reduced
administrative appeal fee to the applicant will not reduce the cost to Monroe County for
the provision of the service.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY FLORIDA:
Section 1. Pursuant to Section 102-19(9), the following schedule of fees to be charged
