REQUEST:
The Community Development Department-Code Enforcement Division requests
the City Commission considers adopting Resolution No. 2000-13 amending
Resolution 600 dealing with Arbor inspection fees.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this agenda item is to request the City Commission considers adopting Resolution
No, 2000-13 amending Resolution 600, dealing with Arbor inspection fees.
APPLICABLE LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY:
Under current regulations, the Arbor inspection fee is $25.00 for any residential single-family lot,
and $200.00 for any other lot up to 25 acres, and an additional $200,00 for each 25 acre
increment thereafter. There is no fee for inspection of dead, diseased, or invasive trees There is
no charge for additional trees. For example, an inspection of thirty-five (35) trees would cost the
same as an inspection of one (1) tree,
CONSIDERA TIONS:
On March 13, 2000 the Commission directed Staff to address the Arbor inspection fees and 'bring
back some suggestions for us to modify that somewhat".
The inspection fee covers the cost of handling the request for the permit, the cost of an on-site
visit by a knowledgeable staff person to evaluate the site and the trees, and the cost of completing
and recording the permit. Currently the cost is not increased with an increase of trees to be
inspected, Staff recommends that in addition to an initial inspection fee, an additional fee be
charged for each tree to be evaluated,
The inspection fee as set forth in the current resolution makes a distinction between residential
single-family lots and all others, "All others" would include Multi-family units, Homeowner

Association-owned common areas, such as entrances, and Commercial sites. The Multi-family
units and Homeowner Association-owned common areas generally require a longer inspection.
Commercial sites generally require even more staff time in plan reviews. A review of the past 12
months reveals only one (1) request from a Multi-family or Homeowner Association that would
result in an inspection fee,
Staff recommends that an additional ten ($10,00) dollars per tree be added to all permit fees
and that Multi-family and Homeowner Association-owned property be amended to one hundred
($100,00) dollars. Staff recommends that Commercial property remain at two hundred ($200.00)
dollars,
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission adopt Resolution No. 2000-13.
