Department: Erosion Control Contact: Andrew Crecca acrecca@fcgov.com Topic: Erosion Control Page 5 of 10 Comment Number: 4 02/14/2025: APPROVED: Thank you for providing the requested erosion control plans, report and escrow calculation. All submitted erosion materials are accepted. You will be notified via email with instructions to submit fees and escrow along with the required forms. This email will also have instructions for requesting an initial erosion control inspection when you are ready you start your project. If the nature, scope, size or design of this projects deviates from the submitted materials, updated Erosion Control Plans, Report and Escrow calculation may be requested as well as a recalculation of Erosion Control and Stormwater inspection fees. 02/14/2025: FOR RECORDING: Please provide a P.E. signed and stamped Erosion Control Report with the recording docs for this project. 02/14/2025: Fees: The City Manager’s development review fee schedule under City Code 7.5-2 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. Based on the proposed site construction associated with this project we are assuming 1 lots, 17.00 acres of disturbance, 1.5 years from demo through build out of construction and an additional 3.00 years till full vegetative stabilization due to seeding. Which results in an Erosion Control Fee estimate of $1,879.20 . Please note that as the plans and any subsequent review modifications of the above-mentioned values change the fees may need to be modified. I have provided a copy of the spreadsheet used to arrive at these estimates for you to review. Please respond to this comment with any changes to these assumed estimates and why, so that we may have a final fee estimate ready for this project. The fee will need to be provided at the time of erosion control escrow. At this time Stormwater Inspection Fees appear to not be applicable, if for some reason the designs change please provide updated list of Stormwater LID/WQ devices that are being used so that we may quickly update the fees."
