4. WORK PROGRAM ITEMS 
 
4.1 Fees Strategy and DAI Bylaw – RFD 
  Director Marlor presented the RFD.  Discussion included: 
 need for message to be sent to applicants ensuring them that their application 
is being processed and/or ensuring online availability of status; 
 application fees could be set by Trust Council rather than by individual Local 
Trust Committees; 
 need to provide an option of a fee decrease in case of hardship; 
 need to provide an option of a fee decrease in case of some environmental or 
community benefit; 
 approximately 40% of a planner’s time is devoted to processing applications; 
 discrepancy between fees received and actual costs (staff time) for processing 
applications results in the public (taxpayers) subsidizing developers; 
 an annual report to Trust Council in regards to application fees; 
 need to balance potential fee increases with resultant perception that only 
wealthy developers can afford planning applications; 
 a wider conversation is needed to discuss how development might be impeding 
the goal of preserving and protecting the LTA.
