RE: Chambers Addition
Dear Mr. Smith:
On January 8, 1993, I sent a letter to Chamber and Schaffer, Inc. concerning the need to pay
escrow for Bethel Road adjacent to the Chambers Addition. A copy of that letter is attached.
After the letter was mailed, I received a note from Mr. Ratliff, stating that I should check with
you to determine if we should send the original letter. I waited in following up with that
direction to ascertain if they paid their escrow. I am currently withholding signatures on their
plat, as the Floodplain Administrator, until the escrow issue has been resolved. I know that
recently you have stated that you have concerns about our escrow policy and that we might need
to be headed in the direction of a street and/or traffic impact fee.
By virtue of this letter, I am requesting direction on how I should proceed with this. Should I
follow-up with Chamber and Schaffer, Inc. requesting the payment of the escrow, should I sign
the plat and let it be filed at the county without the payment of the escrow, or should I persue
any other option that you perceive as being correct?
If you should have any additional questions concerning this issue please feel free to contact me
at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Ken: eth M. Griffin, P.E.

RE: Chambers Addition
Dear Sir:
This letter is written as a follow-up to mv January 6, 1993 telephone conversation with Mr. Pete
Hennessey in which we discussed the fees for the Chambers Addition. It was noted that at the
September 24, 1992, Development Review Committee meeting, the amount of the fee for the
street escrow was passed on to the representatives for the Chambers Addition. The final plat
has since come through for my signature and my investigation shows that the water and sewer
impact fee was paid but the street escrow for Bethel Road has not been paid. Bethel Road is
shown on our thoroughfare plan as a C2U. The street escrow for a C2U street is $110 per
linear foot of frontage. This property has 84 feet of frontage on Bethel Road, therefore, the
street escrow is $9.240.00.
Until the street escrow fee has been paid, the final plat for this project can not be signed by the
Engineering Department. If you should have any questions concerning this issue, please feel
free to contact me at .,,'our convenience. //.~/~, ..~
