Chs. Trans 231 & 233 - The division of land abutting a state trunk highway or connecting highway.
Summary of Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis:
Section 236.12(7), Stats., allows the Department to establish by rule reasonable service fees for all or part of the costs of the activities and services provided by the Department under that chapter of the statutes. Thus, this proposed rule also establishes fees to cover the Departments costs for reviewing the documents related to land divisions. Both the district and central offices must invest considerable time in verifying and field reviewing each map. An estimation of the amount of time and costs involved determined that $110 is the average cost for this review. In the past, the department has always done this review gratis but, in this current climate of fiscal responsibility, it is felt that the cost should be borne by those creating the need for the review. This charge will be imposed on those who prepare the documents for review. Surveyors, developers and consultants would normally prepare the documents on behalf of the owners. The $110 cost would, in all likelihood, be passed on the owners, some of whom will be small businesses that may recover the costs through the development.
