The Master Plan indicates a concrete lined trapezoidal channel, 10 feet wide at the bottom and 6.5 feet deep. Bonds posted for this tract included an amount of about $150,000 for construction of this trapezoidal channel. ' Storm drainage fees paid by the subdivider amount to about $35,000. These fees are required to help install downstream drainage facilities to handle increased runoff from developments. However, in this case, Bailey Creek discharges directly into the Flood Control District's Devil Creek Spreading Grounds. The subdivider has submitted an appeal for waiver of these fees, since the City has no responsibility for the downstream drainage system. A copy of the letter from the Forecast Corporation is attached for reference. Two previous appeals have been submitted on this same basis. Both were denied by the Mayor and Council. Bailey Creek is to be improved as each tract that it traverses is developed. This arrangement has resulted in protests from these subdividers, because of having to bear an inordinate cost for the improvement of this channel. There is also the extended exposure to potential flooding due to the fact that Bailey Creek is being built as the various tracts are developed. The improvement of Bailey Creek will not be completed until all of the tracts that it traverses are completed. One property owner has expressed an interest in having an assessment district establ ished to improve Bailey Creek. The advantages to the .sub- dividers impacted are that the cost would be borne by a larger number of properties and they wouldn't have to upfront the funds. Flood protection would be provided to the entire area at an earlier date, which would be another advantage. 75-0264 o o o o CORPORATION Construction I Developmen t , ' . , /<:," ....,'..~ ; , ' ~. /'......../ h"'.......,.. ,- ~_....

June 4, 1986 City of San Bernardino Public Works Department 300 North "D" Street San Bernardino, CA 92418 Attn: Roger Hargrave - Director of Public Works Dear Roger: In regard to the storm drain fees for Tract 10979, it is our firm belief that this is a double fee based on Ordinance Mc452.
