Thanks for the quick response Ken.
We have #1 and #2 and can fulfill #3-#5 very quickly. We'll keep in contact
with you.

Mr. Jarrell
We will allow early grading under the following guidelines:
1 ) Some type of approval has been obtained through Planning/Zoning or City
Council. This could be a plat or site plan approval. We can review this on
a case specific basis if needed. We have this to ensure that there really
is a development that will take place once all the vegetation has been
removed and dirt has been moved.
2) A set of plans need to be provided that includes a grading plan and an
erosion control plan. These are reviewed but the review typically takes
only a couple of days. We perform the review of the grading to ensure that
the work will not cause drainage problems either upstream or downstream.
3) An NOI must be provided.
4) The inspection fee must be paid. We access a 2% inspection fee on the
value of the dirt work. We will calculate and collect the remaining
inspection fees as the project moves forward. The rate is 4% for any public
improvement (anything within an easement or in the right of way) and 2% for
all private improvements (generally anything outside the footprint of the
actual building / within the footprint of the building is inspected by
building inspections and they access their own building permit fees).
5) The erosion control plan must be installed.
Once the above items are complete we will issue an early grading permit.
If you have any additional questions please let me know.

Ken,
Thanks again for all of your help on this deal.

What are the requirements to get a grading and utility permit for this
development? Because of Torch's timeframe, we may need to start our
dirtwork early (before we have our building permit set) to keep their
interest and make their schedule. I know we put together a very thorough
set of Civil drawings for our Site Plan Approval package. It would seem
that all the grading and utility work is ready to go.
Your thoughts?
Albert

Mr. Jarrell
Sorry for the delay in my response. We did not bid 10" meters last year so
I had to obtain a price. I then had to modify our program to incorporate
the 10" meter.
I hope I haven't delay you. If you have any other questions please contact
me.

Thanks for the thorough feedback Ken. This is very helpful.
Can you quote us a 10" water meter instead of the 2" and 6". When we looked
at this at another building, a 10" meter was required to allow the 60,000
gal/hr through the meter.
We will still need the 2" irrigation meter.
Thanks and have a good weekend.

Mr. Jarrell
I noticed that Mr. Jones, Building Official, has responded to several of
your inquiries. Hopefully this will address the remainder.
The water and sewer system is adequate to support your operation at the use
of 60,000 gallons per hour and the discharge of 300,000 gallons per day. I
had our consultant model our water system on the peak hour with 60,000
gallons and the peak day with 1,440,000 gallons. In both cases there was
very little impact to the system.
The cost of water is $2.60/1000 gallons and sewer is $1.80/1000 gallons. We
charge the sewer based on the water use, with no cap. However, in
situations where we have a large water user returning only a portion of the
water back to the system, we recommend that they meter their sewer so they
are only charged for the amount returned to the system.
i've attached a portion of Article 11-15 of our Code of Ordinances that
discusses allowable B.O.D. I would recommend that you visit
www.municode.com <http://www.municode.com> to review the entire Adicle 11
of our Code of Ordinances entitled "Industrial Waste and Sewer Use
Regulations".
I have also attached an excel worksheet that shows preliminary fees. I had
to make several assumptions: 1) 2" domestic and 2" irrigation meter; 2) a 6"
meter for the additional water (this is shown as an additional irrigation
meter because our program has no other place to note an additional meter
not sure if a 6" is adequate it is a guess on my part); 3) I classified the
use as "other industrial not specified" (if the use is "light industrial"
only, then the roadway impact fee would be $159,000 not the $391,500 as
shown - more information on the use is needed before we can make that
determination).
I hope this information is helpful. If you need any additional information,
please let me know. I will be out of the office on Friday 4/9/4 but back on
Monday.

Ken,
Could you also help us estimate impact fees for water, sewer, roadway, etc
for this deal?
You know the water and sewer usage, but I'm not sure what you need to
calculate any other fees. The building would be 500,000 SF initially with
10,000 SF of office.
Thanks,
