January 09, 2002 City of Colton Civic Center 650 N. La Cadena Drive Colton, CA 92324 C/O Daryl Parrish, City Manager Dear Mr. Parrish: Item #21 RECEIVED JAN 0 9 2002 CITY OF COLTON CITY MANAGER My wife and I moved our 1988 Fleetwood manufactured home from Camp Pendleton, CA to Cadena Creek Mobile Home Park in Colton where we have lived with our two daughters since October, 1992 . March, 2001 marked the conception of a residential construction project involving our manufactured home. Beginning at the Community Development office I asked many questions including, "What are the fees to transport a manufactured home through the city, then place it on a permanent foundation on private property, and perform the necessary improvements to that property required by city ordinance? And, how much will all the fees cost?" I explained that it was very important to obtain accurate information, so that I could develop a project budget to secure a loan. I was furnished with a packet entitled; "City of Colton Community Development Department Development Fees Updated: December, 1994" I was also told that School Fees for my project would be $2.05 / sq.ft.or $2952.00. Two months later I was informed by the school district that School Fees are actually $3.80 / sq.ft or $5472.00., a difference of $2520.00 to my deficit. The school district also informed me that they had sent a letter to the Building Department in September, 2000 informing them of the increase in School Fees. The fees pertaining to my project that were included in this package were planning fees, building permit fees, plumbing permit fees, and electrical permit fees. I paid the planning fee for design review for Manufactured / Mobil Home Review, submitted my documentation and had my project approved by the Design Review Board in September, 2001. At that time all the details of my project were made known to all involved parties. Fee information that was not provided until I received a City of Colton -Buck Slip on November 26, 2001 includes Civic Center Facilities Fee, Fire Facilities Fee, Library Facilities Fee, Parks Fee, Police Facilities Fee, Traffic Impact Fee, and Street Trees Fee. These fees total
