Also, the microfilm and scanning fee was removed as a line listing because hard-copies of applications are no longer accepted and all filings are applied for online. Members of the Commission raised concern on the increase of the fee for a Hazardous Tree Removal permit, from $25 to $75, and the negative effect it might have on those willing to submit a permit application for such a request. Ms. Mullins responded that the $75 is technically less than submitting a Request for Determination of Applicability for tree removal, however staff will monitor and assess this fee increase and modify it if necessary. On a motion by Ms. Samuels and seconded by Ms. Ladd, the Commission voted 6-0 by roll call vote to approve the revisions to the Lexington Wetland Protection Filing fee schedule.
