Re: Project #OS-00044141
Refund of Plan Check Fees
Dear Mr. Ortega:
I am writing this letter pursuant �o my conversation
today with Mr. Homer Croy of your office.
On March 4, 2008, we sent our check to the City for
$3,668.00 for plan check fees. Due to a unforseen
medical condition, we cancelled our proj ect and
asked the City to refund ou.r check. This request was
made within 24 hours of submitting the check.
The fact that i� took four month's to receive our
refund is one thing, but then we only received SO% of
our check. This means that $733.54 was withheld by
the City for their cos�s. We feei this amount is
unconsc�onable.
By this letter, we ask that you reconsider this amount
and enurnerate for us any amount that is to be held.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Sincerel
Albert Gudel
p.s. I spoke with three different people in your offices
and they were most cooperative.
