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

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 has discussed the need to adjust the fee schedule to
compensate the county for resources needed in excess of the fee estimates included in the

WHEREAS, the Board has exempted the development of affordable housing

fee for applications for waivers to a front yard setback to be granted by the Planning
