RE: Fees for M J Design
Date: April 22, 1994
As requested, I have looked at the fee calculations for M l Design. I spoke with Greg Jones and
am attaching a memo from Greg to myself stating that no fees were waived for M J Design.
However, they did calculate the fees in the warehouse area differently because there was no
mechanical or plumbing. This saved approximately $30,000 on M J Design's fees. Also,
attached is a copy of our fee assessments for M J Design. There was no waiver of fees and
there was a total assessment of $23,852.00 plus the inspection fee. As shown by our
development fee status list, M J Design has already paid $16,867.00 in fees and the remainder
of fees will be paid by the contractor when he obtains the water meters.
The only incentive of any type I could find was an ordinance providing for the exemption from
ad valorem taxation of freeport property. Also, the property was designated as a Reinvestment
zone by Council.
I hope this answers your question of any waiver of fees the City may have allowed in the
development of M J Design. In summary, in the Building Inspection area and the Engineering
area there was no waiver of fees and in the Council area there was an ordinance to provide
exemption from ad valorem taxation and the designation of a Reinvestment zone.
If you should have any questions please feel free to contact me.
