The Redwood City staff has also reviewed these fees and <br />has found that they do adequately cover the costs for landscape review and <br />inspection. Another alternative instead of fixed fees is to bill for the <br />exact amount of time spent on each project. This would require additional <br />staff time to administer each application, perhaps 200 applications per year, <br />and would most likely increase the total cost to each applicant, making it <br />more costly than the fixed fee. This fee may seem high, but it allows the <br />staff to inspect the construction of the landscaping improvements just as a <br />Building Permit allows for the inspection of a building as it is constructed. <br />
