For single-family residential, $200 will be charged for a variance request and $300 for a zoning or special-use request.
Patrick Grill, community development director, whose proposal to triple some fees was rejected by trustees, said fees were last increased in 1987.
Grill told the board the village spends more to process variance, zoning and special-use requests than it generates in fees.
