MEMORANDUM
TO: City Engineer
FROM: Associate Civil Engineer
DATE: March 20, 1981
SUBJECT: CARLSBAD TRACT 76-12 (CALAVERA HILLS) PAYMENT OF PLAN CHECK AND
INSPECTION FEES.
It has recently come to my attention that the developer of CT 76-12, Pacific
Scene, was overcharged for their plan check and inspection fee in the amount
of $49,665. It appears their fees were originally computed on the basis of
a total improvement cost of $3,268,400, which included the bonded cost of
the on-site and off-site grading work. Since our plan check and inspection
fees are based solely on a percentage basis of the total improvement cost,
we erroneously overcharged the developer on this project.
The actual bonded amount for which fees should have been collected are as
follows:
Site improvement bond $ 911,400
Edinburgh Dr. extension improvement 62,300
Glasgow Dr. extension south improvement 17,000
Glasgow Dr. extension north improvement 10,000
Off-site Tamarack Ave. improvement .612,200
Total improvement cost $1,612,900
The required plan check and inspection fees for this project should, there-
fore, be as follows:
Required plan check fee (\% of 1,612,900) $ 16,129
Required inspection fee (2% of 1,612,900 32,258
Total plan check and inspection fee required $ 48,387
Total plan check and inspection fee collected 98,052
Amount overpaid $ 49,665
It is our recommendation that this sum of $49,665 either be refunded to the
developer or credited towards their future development fees in the City.
