<br />lishment of the study committee, saying a review could possibly suggest ways for saving <br />time and money in the planning department's work. He expressed the opinion that the PUD <br />procedures were far more restrictive than originally intended and that the registered <br />professionals required in that type of development should be allowed a free rein. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />Public hearing was closed, there being no further testimony presented. <br /> <br />Manager discounted the impression that the proposed fee increase would fund the entire <br />planning function. He said it would produce about $60,000 whereas the estimated budget <br />for the 1974-75 planning work was $280,000. He felt it should be understood that the <br />planning process also included cost of public works, parks, and legal departments' review <br />of complicated development applications. He said becuase of the question raised in his <br />mind about the portion of the planning budget which should be supported by public funds <br />he would not be reluctant to postpone consideration of the portion of the revenue study <br />having to do with planning fees for review by a subcommittee made up of city staff, <br />Council members, and industry. It seemed a legitimate question, he said, about benefits <br />from certain types of planning applications on which there should be consensus. <br /> <br />Councilman Keller asked for a cost figure on appeals handled by the planning department, <br />and a comparison with county fees. It was brought out that there was no breakdown between <br />original applications and appeals filed. And that the information presented had to do <br />with PUDs only so could not be compared with county fees. <br /> <br />Councilman Wood felt there was not time available at this meeting to discuss details and <br />favored creation of a subcommittee. He moved seconded by Mr. Williams to adopt that portion jii <br />of the fee schedule change not relating to planning, and that the planning department fee .., <br />changes be referred to a committee to be appointed by the Mayor and returned to the Council <br />with recommendations.
