one fee of $1,000 (combine a & b,  residential /Non-residential)  One 
flat fee for either/or of $1,000. 
 
The recommendation is to consolidate Real Estate fee categories.  
Currently, disposition of roadway or easement fees are $400 for 
residential and a $1,000 fee for non-residential.   The process for 
vacating roadway is essentially the same whether it is residential or 
non-residential.  They are both time consuming and each requires 
council approval. The higher fee amount of $1,000 is recommended 
irrespective of type.
