Description) Finance: Council Notes: 31y196 75-0262 Agenda Item No. CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT A letter dated 2-7-95 was submitted from Joe Lacko of Gifford Industrial Park, Ltd. , requesting that the $13 , 275 Storm Drain Construction Fee be waived. These fees are a requirement of the parking lot constructed to serve the U.S . Postal Encoding Center on Parcels No. 4 & 5 of Parcel Map No. 7405 . Our Storm Drain Master Plan shows a 42-inch storm drain in Central Avenue. A condition of approval was imposed on Parcel Map No. 7405 that the master plan storm drain be con- structed to East Twin Creek. In view of the considerable cost for construction of this storm drain, an alternate condition was imposed to allow construction of a retention basin on a portion of Parcel No. 1 to reduce the storm water runoff to the same or lesser degree than before development. Mr. Lacko states in his letter that the cost for con- structing this retention basin was $250 , 000 , plus annual main- tenance of the landscaping, taxes and insurance premiums. The request by Mr. Lacko is that the cost for constructing the retention basin offset the $13 ,375 in Storm drain Construction Fees . We are not aware of any legislative authority to waive this fee. Therefore, we are unable to recommend approval of this request. A copy of the letter from Mr. Lacko is attached for reference. 2-15-96 1J4. 629 Camino De Los Mares, Suite 206, San Clemente, CA 92673-2831 (714) 489-0450 FAX (714) 489-0454 February 7, 1996 Mr. Roger Hardgrave, City Engineer City of San Bernardino 300 North "D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 VIA FAX: (909) 384-5155 Re: Gifford Industrial Park Dear Roger, I hereby make the request for a credit to Gifford Industrial Park for providing public drainage facilities. The credit is based on the fact that we have had to dedicate and build onsite storm drain facilities that receive storm water off of public streets into a private facility. We recognize our obligation under the current City Ordinance to pay for storm drain mitigation fees in the current amount of $13,375.00 for the parking lot installed at the new Postal Encoding Facility. It is appropriate, however, for the City to give an offset for our private system that was required in lieu of a public system. Our cost of land and development expense for our onsite private facility is in excess of $250,000.00, plus annual maintenance, taxes and insurance cost. I hereby request that the Mayor and City Council approve our request to offset the $13,375.00 due for the Post Office parking area as a credit against our above referenced expense for onsite facilities. I appreciate your consideration. Sincerely, G oe acko i d Industrial Park, Ltd. J Ule GIFFCITY.LTR
