meeting so there is a lot of detail in it. The focus is the first page which is the summary. The <br /> prime goal is to enhance planning services. We want to get all the planning services under one <br /> (1)umbrella. We are probably one (1) of the only communities in the State that does it the way <br /> we do it. It's not bad but it is definitely not as efficient as it could be. We hope to get all the <br /> planning functions under one (1) department and we feel the Area Plan Commission could <br /> absorb two (2) responsibilities. The first being the administration of the Area Board of Zoning <br /> Appeals and the second transferring the Zoning Administration from the Building Department to <br /> the Area Plan Commission. The impact is denoted on the two (2) spreadsheets provided <br /> (available in the Office of the City Clerk). This makes it much more efficient to the petitioner. A <br /> lot of the administrative functions come to APC as well. We would propose some fee increases <br /> with this as well. They are not substantial but are a net-wash from the total they would be paying <br /> anyway. This would also create a single point of contact for any questions the petitioner may <br /> have. <br /> Councilmember Tim Scott asked, Part of Building has to come before Council for budget <br /> purposes and can we talk about it then? <br /> Chuck Bulot, Building Commissioner for the Building Department with offices on 125 S. <br /> Lafayette Boulevard, confirmed, Yes, that is correct. <br /> Councilmember Scott then asked, And how many inspectors does the Building Department <br /> have? <br /> Mr. Bulot replied, I have seven (7) inspectors currently. We are trying to get one (1)more for <br /> 2018. <br /> With no other business, Committee Chair Davis adjourned the Zoning and Annexation <br /> Committee meeting at 5:58 p.m. <br /> Re ittme <br /> e Chair <br /> 3 <br />
