CH o � HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF CENTRAL MISSOURI .July 1, 2011 Ron Davenport, Division Director Building Regulations Division,Department of Community Development ,John G. Christy Municipal Building 320 Past McCarty Street Jefferson City, MO 65101 Director Davenport, On behalf of the Home Builders Association of Central Missouri, I would request your consideration of revising the current building permit fees ordinances (Sec. 8-20) to include a new fee structure for miscellaneous projects within the City that do not provide for construction of any permanent residential or commercial structure. For example, the creation of a new fee structure for parking lot expansions, landscaping improvements or any other property improvement that does not require extensive site inspection due to limited public safety risks. Since we do not believe these projects generally require substantial time for your staff to conduct on-site inspections, we would suggest the fee be at a reduced level. The HBA would suggest this fee be set at 0,00125 (0.125°/x), which is exactly half of the current residential building permit fee. It has come to our attention that several projects have been moving through the City process and we would like to assist in finding a suitable solution for both your staff and our members that takes all concerns into consideration. Your consideration is greatly appreciated and please do not hesitate to contact me if I could be of any further assistance in this matter. Regards, Heath Clarkston HBA of Central Missouri 101 E.
