While we have continued to enthusiastically move forward on implementing both the land development component of this project and the first 50,000 square foot building, we need to resolve some • issues that came out from the above referenced correspondence before we can start grading and the first building. From past notes of meetings with various city staff members,other correspondence and from our discussions we are requesting reconsideration of the following matters: 1. The requirement for a Letter of Credit. This did come up in discussions, particularly with former City Development Director, Paul Steiman, as well as Peter Beck and we had agreed that no Letter of Credit would he required. I believe it was initially part of the preliminary planning commission plat resolution but was clearly to have been eliminated for the reason that the public improvements were all being installed by the City and assessed to the property. While you indicated that there are some improvements we will be installing, I believe the only thing we have responsibility for is the mass grading, which is also reimbursed from the City. 2. With regard to the surface water management fee,we are in agreement that we have some responsibility in this regard. However,in our meeting of May 12, 1999,when we requested information on a comprehensive list of fees related to this project, it was indicated that the surface water management fee would be $136 per acre. This is less than shown in the draft Development Agreement. 3. We are in agreement that we are responsible for the seal coating fee and it was indicated • that this would be $0.40 per square foot of asphalted road area. I believe a preliminary estimate of that was only several thousand dollars. We would request clarification on this. MG A I cerwTe *111 nfr.DV etf.tit-cc IA I./L'L r,.ACA 11' APt 111 f-kCt,[I/\t.AACk.T
