Present Pee Schedule On May 25, 1970 (M&C C,-257=1), a policy was adopted governing the encroachment of signs, marquees, etc. , into public property. This policy regulates the height: at which these items may be placed and the distance they may extend into the right.-of-way. It further sets tho inspection fees for such encroach- at $75 initially and r encroach- ments annually thereafter for the term of the consent agreement. Inspection fees for encroachments such as over-street- and below-street building spaces have been established by City Council action for consent agreements presented to the City Council for its approval. A list of these ai3reements currently in effect and the annual fees charted is attached. On April 19, 1971 (hK C-1354), a consent agreement was approved with the Fort Worth National Bank tot earl a =vcr head and under-strpert encroachments to be constructed as p ait of the bink's new building. he fees charged were recommended by ra City staff c t t"I t tee, and r hr Council was advise,] at that time that the staff would study xisil > vnnronchmont policy and recommend a uniform, equirzabLe method of riUng fees, for all current and feature encroachments, commensurate with the costs of pro,essing, raplalica Ions and performing annual inspections.
