Latta introduced a resolution in regard to waiving permit fees for local taxing bodies. The question arose, .should we not limit the waiving of permit fees to local taxing bodies no more than once a year? Also in the paragraph stating, "Plainfield shall not waive.Building, Plumbing ar Electrical Inspection Fees", should also include, "any other professional costs", Attorney Harvey requested this resolution be tabled until next meeting for his review and investigation. M. Latta stated she met with Officer Bennett today and he agreed with the sign or- dinance changes she and Arlo Simmons made. J. West stated one copy of the draft of the Zoning Ordinance came in today from the Attorney, copies must be made for each Board member. The maps are not part of this draft. Also missing are the index, definitions and residential section. It was agreed the Board would discuss the sign portion of the ordinance at the Work Shop, Monday, June 25, 1984. PLAINFIELD VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Regular Meeting June 18,.1984 Page two. M. Latta reported abandoned gasoline tanks were discussed at the .last wark Shope Meeting. zt was decided to table the problem. because it is very possible the State. Fire Marshal is changing the law and we will check into it in the near fu- ture. M. Latta introduced the Olson Agreement. Mr. Olson agreed to the 10 years for re- covery. The other question the Board had was that the Village would be responsible for collecting the $5,616.63 tap-on fee recovery for Mr. Olson. It would be .very difficult in 8 or 9 years to remember the tap-on is $..5.,:616,63 and not the present fee of $1,000..00. Attorney Harvey stated it would certainly be to Mr. Olson or his successor to remind the Village of his recovery fee when and if a tap-on was made. If the Village col ected the $5,616,63 and then refused to pay Mr. Olson- the recovery f'ee, we would then be in violation of the agreement. We will try to red flag the "water permit procedures" on recovery far Olaon's property,-Bada/ Whispering Creek and Bond property. M.
