The fee paid shall be applied towards the total cost of the

with the project, the City will retain the fee. Applications for the
preliminary review of projects will be accepted under the same
condition. The remainder of the applicable fees shall be
payable prior to issuance of a Building Permit.

be inspected accessible and ready at the time the inspection is
called for, an additional fee of $150 shall be charged for each
