(
December 2, 2002) The Larchmont Village Board of Trustees
plans to vote on proposed increases in the fees charged
for various building permits at their regularly scheduled
public meeting on December 9, 2002.
“The fee increases are substantial,” announced
Mayor Ken Bialo at the last Board meeting on November
19. He explained that fees have remained stable for
a long time, and the hefty hikes will put Larchmont
in line with communities that have “kept up with
the times.”
Earlier in the year, the Board boosted parking permit
fees by approximately 5% for most categories. (See the
2003 Parking Permit Price List
below.) For building fees, the increases under consideration
will lead to a doubling or tripling of many charges.
