HomeMy WebLinkAboutCUP 90-6 Palm Lakes Golf Course Staff Position Development Fees INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Richard J. Folkers, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director
SUBJECT: CUP 90-6 -- PALM LAKES GOLF COURSE AT COOK STREET & SHERYL AVENUE--
MELVIN CURCI
DATE: July 26, 1990
RECOMMENDATION:
Affirm the staff's position with respect to development fees for Conditional
Use Permit 90-6.
BACKGROUND:
On May 24, 1990, the City Council reviewed a request by the developer of the
above-referenced project for waiver or adjustment of fees. The specific fees
were drainage, lizard mitigation, and TUMF. The Council directed staff to work
with the developer in an attempt to reach an equitable solution. After reviewing
the applicable fees, staff met with Mr. Curci and Mr. Dave Evans and presented
the following:
Lizard Mitigation Fee: As stated in the May 24, 1990, staff report, the
fringe toed lizard fee is a result of the Federal Endangered Species Act and the
need to acquire habit area for the lizard. The imposition of the $600 per acre
fee is required on all disturbed land north of the Whitewater River without
regard to ownership, lease arrangements, etc. The subject property includes
approximately 15.42 acres north of the river. This would result in a lizard
mitigation fee of $9,252.
Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee: This fee is applied on a regional
basis as a result of local legislation actions last year. Fees paid as a result
of this action are applicable to all developments regardless of ownership, lease
arrangements, etc. Developers objecting to the imposition of this fee have a
right of appeal through the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG)
who administer the TUMF program. The fee for this type of development (golf
course) is $549.78 per acre or approximately $28,808.47, for the 52.4-acre site.
Drainage Fees: A substantial portion of this project (approximately 37
acres) lies within the Whitewater River Channel . The balance of the site (15.4
acres) is adjacent to Master Plan drain lines as identified in the Northside Area
Drainage Master Plan. In order to facilitate the construction of these lines,
the developer will be required to pay fees of $4,000 per acre on the 15.4 acres
north of the Whitewater River. This would result in a drainage fee of $61 ,600.

The developer has expressed his reluctant agreement with the fees, as
identified above, and is anxious to proceed with the development; therefore, it
is requested that the Council affirm staff's position with respect to the
development fees for this project.
