The applicant for Pinebridge, DMB Investments, is requesting that the City Council approve a waiver of
fees for the recently submitted application. In 2005, the applicant paid approximately $15,000 in fees
with the submittal of the original Pinebridge application. The original Pinebridge was transmitted,
notices were published, and City Staff did expend some time reviewing and processing the original
application. However, a staff report was not prepared and the Commission never had a complete hearing
on this project because the applicant withdrew the development request. (I should note that the fees were
paid and the original application was submitted under the City's previous fee schedule. The applicant
withdrew the application just as we were shifting over to the new UDC and the new fee schedule.)
Given that Staff didn't spend much time processing the original application up to that point, Staff
discussed supporting the applicant when they made a request to the Council for a partial or even full
reduction of fees. As noted above, the applicant has submitted a new, revised application for Pinebridge
and Staff is supportive of a full waiver of the fees due.
The revised Pinedbridge fees, if the Council does not approve a credit from the original fees paid, would
be $4,717. Staff supports a full waiver of the fees for the revised Pine bridge application.
Please place this issue on the next available City Council agenda. Please feel free to contact me with any
questions. Thank you.

Dan,
If you are ready, can you please submit the Pinebridge application to us? I need to know exactly what
you are applying for so I can let Council know what the fees would be. I say would because based on the
fees you have already paid, and our new fee schedule, I believe you will owe nothing (if the Council
agrees to credit your application). Staff will be recommending that you get credit for the fees you have
already paid, but before I can do that, I need to know the details, like: how many lots you are proposing,
what applications you are submitting, and if any variances, etc. are being requested.
So, I am going to retain your e-mail request for a fee credit until we receive your application. Then I will
go ahead and begin processing your application, and send your credit request to the Council, (with the
understanding that you may need to pay some fees if the Council does not agree to credit your submittal)
prior to the Pinebridge public hearing.
Let me know if we need to discuss further. Thank you,
3/8/2007

Caleb,
We are preparing to re-submit the application for our Pinebridge Development. The fees paid for the development
application that was withdrawn included two fee payments, as follows: on November 17, 2004 a payment of
$5467.00 was submitted to the city of Meridian for the preliminary plat application,conditional use permit, and
annexation with rezone; on March 16,2005 another $10,246.00 was submitted to the city of Meridian for the
planned unit development application. At the time of withdrawal, the city indicated that a majority of the above
stated fees would be applied to the re~submitted application.
Therefore, on behalf of DMB Investments, I hereby respectfully request that the fees for our new applications,
which include a preliminary plat, annexation with rezone, be calculated to include the credit for the unused fees.
Please forward this request on to the Mayor City Council for their consideration.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
