HomeMy WebLinkAbout132 W. WILLOX - PDP - 19-06 - CORRESPONDENCE - (11)Ted Shepard - RE: 132 Willox Submittal Page 3 We have not paid that as of yet. I do not know how much it would be. We would like to see this fee waived. The project is to replace a previously existing building, damaged in the snow storm of'03 with the exact same size building, same use, same site, etc. Traffic Impact study was waived - This should be straight forward. If the fee is not waived, we would hope that this would be treated as a smaller project. Please let me know how the fees will be determined on this project.

This is Susan in Engineering... just checking to see if you paid the TDRFee for this project. Nancy was on vacation when you submitted and we had a temp that week so I'm hoping you can help me out here. If you paid, could you fax over a copy of the TDRF application you filled out? Or if you haven't paid yet, I need you to fill out the application and pay the fee so that we can review your project. We've been directed not to enter any comments into the system until the fee is paid, sorry Don. You can find the application at: hftp://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php Please call me if you have any questions (221-6605) and I'll be glad to help you. Nice to see you back in again - you were always so nice to work with!! Susan ps... your phone number on the submittal letter didn't work (207-1973) - do I have the wrong one maybe? :D CC: "'Don Bachman"' <DBachman @fcgov.com>, "'Dan DeLaughter"' <DDeLaughter@fcgov.com>, "'Sheri Wamhoff" <SWAM HOFF@fcgov.com >, "Ted Shepard" ed Shepard - RE: 132 Willox Submittal Page 2 Gary >>> Susan Joy 07/20 9:10 AM >>> Hi Gary, I would be happy to except Dan just beat me to it! :D Dan just sent out an email that inadvertently left you off the CC's so I'll forward that to you for your information.

Please feel free to fax over your application before coming in with a check so we can review it and make any necessary adjustments to the final amount. I hope that helps! Susan >>> Gary Diede 7/20/2006 9:00:13 AM >>> Susan, could you briefly explain any credit that might be available on Mr. Brookshire's project for the existing building that could apply to the fees on the new building? I think that might be helpful for him to understand when calculating this net fee for replacing a building. Thanks for your help. Gary Acting City Engineer >>> Susan Joy 07120 8:20 AM >>> Hi Don, Unfortunately these fees were adopted by City Council and it has been determined by the City Attorney's office that the Engineering Department does not have the ability to waive or reduce the fees. If you could provide us with the uses and square footage of the building before it was torn down, we can calculate what the fees would be based on the new proposal. If you would like to calculate these fees or take a look at the fee sheet, you can find it online at: http://www.fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php Please call me if you have any questions Don. You can call me at 221-6605 any time.

I appreciate all you're your assistance in this project. I do believe the fees for this project are exceedingly high. Our PDP Submittal was considered a small project, with the submittal fee of $250.00, which previously covered all the development review fees. Now as I understand it, we owe an additional fee of the following. PDP Fee: $ 2,000.00 Acreage: (.84 acres x $250) _ $210.00 FDP Fee: $1,000.00 Total additional fees = $ 3,210.00 1 will forward this information to my client. I think I do understand the fee structure etc. Again, I think this amount is excessive for the size of project, and wish the City Staff could see this as what it is - to replace a previously existing building that was damaged due to severe weather. The new building will be much more attractive, the city gets land area for right of way, and the site improvements will be completed to meet the new Land Use Code standards. It is also my understanding we will be paying for a fee to dedicated the right of way, as we are currently planning on not submitting a plat. I am assuming that If I were to submit a 300 acre development the $2000.00 PDP and $1000.00 FDP Submittal fees would be the same. Is this fair to compare a project with that scope of work to this? I only point this out, as the costs to the property owner are significant when all work, permits, professional fees etc. are taken into account. Thank you for your consideration.
