E S E 7'i , MEMORANDUM TO: Mark Greenwood, P.E. Engineering Manager City of Palm Desert FROM: Nizar Farhat DATE: May 7� 4 RE: Stone Eagle Drainage Fee CC: Ted Lennon, Bill Munson, John Fitzpatrick, Bob Williams Dear Mark, 1 am writing to you in reference to the City Planning Commission's Resolution No. 2155, Condition of Approval, Item #1, Department of Public Works, which states the following: Drainage fees, in accordance with section 2649 of the Palm Desert Municipal Code, and Paim Desert Ordinance 653, shall be paid prior to recordation of the final map or issuance of the grading permit. Stone Eagle Development is requesting a waiver of the above referenced drainage fees for both the golf course and the residential development. The justification of this request is based on the following: Stone Eagle Development will be constructing a comprehensive drainage facility to contain the flow through a series of flood control weirs, drop structures, lakes, and collection basins. This facility was approved by CVWD and Bechtel for the existing and proposed conditions. The Stone Eagle development will not dump or direct any flow which may occur on any of the city's property, nor on any other property adjacent to the Stone Eagle site. Also, we will not be increasing or contributing to the flow to the CVWD White Water Channel. Please see the attached construction costs for the new flood control facility we will be constructing throughout the project to contain and control the flow of any water. Stone Eagle Development therefore requests a waiver of the above noted fees. We appreciate your consideration of this request and look forward to working with the city of Paim Desert throughout the construction and development of this project.
