   Kelly Templin, College Station's development services director, said the city has worked hard to keep local developers up to date on the potential fee increases, which were proposed to be implemented over a three-year period beginning in 2001.In August of 2001, the council voted to raises fees by an average of 80 percent.The three-year plan was designed to help the city recover between 80 and 100 percent of its cost for development.
   
   Developers were reminded that fees would be going up at a developer's breakfast this summer and the city e-mailed a list of potential increases before they were presented at a council workshop last month.
   
   The increases are based on a 2000 study compiled by DMG-Maximus for the city that compared development costs in College Station to those of 19 other similar cities - Bryan, Arlington, Carrolton, Denton, Flower Mound, Georgetown, Grand Prairie, Irving, Lewisville, Longview, Lubbock, McKinney, Mesquite, North Richland Hills, Plano, Richardson, Round Rock, San Marcos and Southlake.
