On June 30, 2023, Chris Fenton submitted a Mills Act Contract application for the property located at the northeast corner of Forest Road and 8th Avenue in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) District. The application fee was $3,584. On July 21, 2023, Chris Fenton submitted a request to withdraw the application.
This item is on the Council’s agenda to authorize a refund of 75% of the permit fee cost in accordance with CMC Section 17.02.120 (Fees), which allows a partial refund of fees in the amount of 75% for applications that are withdrawn before a determination has been made as to whether the application is complete.
CMC Section 3.06.060 (Return of Funds) requires refunds of $1,000 or more to be approved by Council. Specifically, Section 3.06.060 states that “from time to time it becomes necessary to refund certain permit fees, taxes, licenses, etc., in the normal course of City business. Upon recommendation from the Assistant City Administrator, the City Administrator or his/her duly authorized representative is authorized to approve such refunds in an amount not to exceed $1,000. All refunds over $1,000 shall require approval by the City Council.”
