e) The zoning permit fee for those development projects for which no
building permit is required but which requires site plan review and a
zoning permit, shall be based on the value of the proposed development

engineer, architect, landscape designer or contractor. These estimates
may include, but are not limited to, grade and fill of the site, paving,
placement of utilities, lighting, landscaping, and other site

preliminary plat fee. A public notice board is required for a major alteration.
