Wathen is preparing a memo to the City outlining the aesthetic changes to Basin A resulting from the slower than anticipated percolation of surface water. Other than the aesthetic changes, Wathen asserts that Basin A is constructed, and functions as engineered, designed and approved. Wathen understands that the aesthetic changes could impact the CFD cost and will include that in the memo. Interim Fire Station: The Chevron project is delayed as a result of matters with the RWQCB. As a result, the construction and operation of Station 5 will be delayed. City Fire Chief, Todd Tuggle, is conducting a standard coverage analysis to determine current needs. Wathen and City would prefer not to construct the interim fire station. City will continue to evaluate alternatives with the assistance of the results from the coverage analysis. The existing obligation is to have the fire station in place/operable by the 361 residential unit. (Note: Wathen does not anticipate reaching the 361st residential unit until January 2026.) Mapping Issue. Processing Condominium Plan on the six (6) R-3 lots following recordation of the Phase 4 Final Map. Codron and Fleishman met following the Wathen Fleishman 12/12 meeting. Codron will work with staff to determine what conditions the City may have required, over and above the existing project conditions, if Wathen were to separately and independently process a tentative map for condo purposes. Codron will present those conditions, if any, to Wathen for discussion and consideration.

Impact Fees.  Wathen and the City discussed the various issues relating to the Development Impact Fees being charged to Wathen. In summary, The project vested in September 2017 when the City Council approved the entitlements, including but not limited to the Development Agreement. Water and Wastewater: The parties agree that with respect to Water and Waste Water, Wathen is obligated to pay the Water and Wastewater Impact Fee as established as of 2017, adjusted annually by the Consumer Price Index, Greater Los Angeles Area. Public Safety Fees (Police and Fire): Part of the conversation. Traffic: With respect to Traffic Impact Fees: Wathen provided City with a list of traffic improvements to be constructed by Wathen and traffic impact fees to be paid by Wathen. Wathen then identified those traffic improvements which Wathen has completed, and which remain to be complete. Wathen also identified the traffic impact fees which have been paid in full. City is going to prepare an analysis of the status of the projects for which Wathen is paying fees, the estimated completion date of those projects, and identify short comings, if any, based on the fees Wathen is to pay, as adjusted by the Consumer Price Index, Los Angeles. Upon completion of the analysis, Wathen will evaluate and consider those short comings, if any, and respond. Section 5.04.2(e): With respect to both Water, Wastewater, and Traffic Impact Fees, the parties need to address the language in Section 5.04.2(e), which provides in part: If the City amends any existing Development Impact Fee (DIF) program to include additional projects or costs for the benefit of the Project (either new projects or increased costs for projects included in the analysis supporting existing fees) for improvements necessary to satisfy Project requirements, Developer will be required to pay the amended fees. . . . Fee Credits. The issue of fee credits was discussed for traffic improvements which are complete, or which have been bonded for. Dan Garson and Luke Schwartz are currently working together to resolve the issue of fee credits and reimbursements. The City will be applying fee credits going forward with respect to the LOVR add on fee. City agrees to provide credits against the LOVR Add-On Fee (Avila Ranch) ~ $2566.05 as an offset against the bond for the LOVR meter ramp project. City agrees to also provide credits against the City-wide Traffic Impact Fee (LOVR Subarea) for traffic improvement projects that are complete. DG will provide a memo identifying the completed projects and project costs to Luke as soon as possible (but no later than the week of 12/19) which will allow City to provide credits on permits being pulled going forward. The Wathen team will provide full reimbursement packages on the above completed in Q1 2023. To be clear, City will provide credits up to 90% of the bonded amount. City will provide credits up to 90% of the amount noted in the DG memo until the reimbursement packages are reviewed and accepted.
