Erosion ControlComment Number: 1 02/11/2021: INFORMATION ONLY:Thank you submitting ESC plans at PDP level, these meet the City's criteria for Erosion Control plans.Please
indicate the total disturbed area on the plan with a note.Response: Noted, Thank youFOR FINAL PLAN:Please provide an erosion control security estimate, if it was already posted as part
of the overall Mosaic development, this would be for documentation only in case this project lags behind the rest of the site or vice versa and a partial reimbursement is sought by the
developer.The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.52 was updated to include fees for Erosion Control and Stormwater Inspections. As of January 1st, 2021,
these fees will be collected on all projects for such inspections. The Erosion Control fees are based on; the number of lots, the total site disturbance, the estimated number of years
the project will be active and the Stormwater Inspection Fees are based on the number of LID/WQ Features that are designed for on this project. Based on the proposed site construction
associated with this project we are assuming 1 lots, 1 acres of disturbance, 1 year from demo through build out of construction and an additional 1 year 'til full vegetative stabilization
due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $ 900.46. Based on no Stormwater LID/WQ features on this site there is no LID/WQ Inspection fee. I have provided
a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for your review.Response: Noted, Thank youDepartment: Stormwater EngineeringContact: Wes Lamarque, 9704162418, wlamarque@fcgov.comTopic:
