AT OUT hes ROS TET RESS} ak {a 70d All Clients Bill Buholzer | DATE March 11, 1994 RE APPLICATION FEES - BARE LAND STRATA SUBDIVISIONS { Effective April 1, 1994, the Bare Land Strata Regulations under the Condominium Act are amended to remove municipalities and regional districts from the fee structure set out in the Regulations for examination and approval of a bare land strata subdivision. This amendment necessitates review and possibly amendment. of the bylaw by which each local govarnment imposes subdivision application fees, since after April 1, 1994 the Bare Land Strata Regulation will impose no fee for examination and approval of a bare land strata application that is not submitted tod a district highway manager. | Under the current wording of s.19(2)(a) of the Bare Land Strata Regulations, every application for a bare land strata subdivision must be accompanied by an examination fee of $25 plus $10 for each strata lot intended to be created. After April 1, this fee will increase to $100 plus $100 for each strata lot, but the fee will only apply to applications submitted to a district highway manager. As a result, the only fee applicable to an application submitted to a local government will be that fee imposed by bylaw under s.988(1)(c) of the Municipal Act. Each municipality and regional district should review its subdivision or development application fees bylaw to determine whether examination and approval fees applicable to bare land atrata subdivisions are sufficient to replace the $25 plus $10 fele which after April 1 will no longer be required by the Bare Land Strata Regulation. In some casas, the wording of the bylaw mal be sufficient to cover bare land strata applications and amendments to the fee levels only might be considered. In other cases, revision ef the charging section of the bylaw may also be necessary to ensure that fees are properly imposed for this type off subdivision application. In either case, local governments may wish to consider imposing the $100 plus $100 fee that M.O.T.H. approving officers are now authorized to collect. (8423PW) ITEM.
