Dear Honorable Mayor and respected Common Council Members:
The purpose of this letter is to request a waiver of Parks and Recreation
fees associated with the construction of our personal residence to be
located at 5536 N. "E" Street in San Bernardino. We believe the ordinance
associated with this fee is 15.56.040. Although we have not personally
read this ordinance, we have been told by various City officials (Deputy
City Attorney Michael Dooey, Parks and Recreation Director Anne .Ramos, and
others) that no provision is evident that takes into consideration houses
destroyed by fire. We purchased our lot in July of 1987 for $32,000 from
Mr. & Mrs. William Dahlquist. Mr. Dahlquist is a former Fire Marshall of
San Bernardino. We were told at that time by the respected city agencies
that these various fees associated with new construction were not pertinent
in cases of fire. The house on our property wes completely destroyed by
the Panorama Fire on 12-24-80 (see attached report).
o
We have thus far recei ved waivers from the Seno,,::' District for achool fees
and the Municipal Water Department for sewer capacity fees (see attach-
ments). These agencies gave us credit because we are replacing a residence
which was destroyed by fire. We believe the Parks and Recreation fee should
also be waived because of the same reason 0 The process of us constructing
a hQuse on this property in no way represents an expense to the Parks and
RecreaUon Department. If this house would not have burned and if we pur-
chased it today, n0 fee would apply. Why should a fee be charged now that
we are constructing a house? The property is still just changing ownership
the same as in a sale.
We understand the concept of collecting this fee for construction in new
areas (where the city's population increases). In this case the Parks and
Recreation Department r.eeds to incraase the capacity of its' facilities
to meet the demand of an increased number of users. This is not the case
in a change of ownership. We can't believe that when this ordinance was
adopted that a revenue projection was made based on fee income earned by
new construction which is the result of a natural disaster. An additional
1% fee based on assessed property value is a very substantial expense.
We thought one of the benefits of buying a lot in an established neighbor-
hood is the exemption of these fees. The City should appreciate the fact
that we are improving this vacant lot that has been an eyesore since its'
destruction. Everyone on the block we have spoken to is very excited to
here that we will be building soon.

Please respectfully consider our request to waive this Park and Recrea-
tion fee so that we may obtain our permits and begin construction
on our proposed date of 8-01-89.
Thank you so much for your time.
Sincerely:
Any questions can be forwarded to:

-------------------------------------------------------------
This is to serve as notice that there was/is an existing
sewer service at the address listed below. The Water Depart-
ment's policy is that if a single family house exists or was
demolished and was connected to the sewer system, there are
no sewer capacity fees due if the new structure is a single
family dwelling unit. The address listed below meets this
criteria, therefore, a sewer capacity right does not have to
be purchased.
