Dear Michael:
As requested on January 8th, 2020 during a phone call with Ms. Susan Barden, we have expanded our scope of
services to include an additional review of a revised site layout for this project. Ms. Barden indicated that the
driveway and septic system would be relocated to avoid impacts to steep slopes on the project site. An
additional technical review by our office of the revised site layout will include review of stormwater
requirements, required setbacks, and septic system design parameters.
To date, $444.50 remains in the original escrow account and we anticipate that one additional review will be
required to conclude our involvement. We recommend increasing the budget by $1,200 to $4,700 to cover
future efforts.
The additional escrow will need to be funded concurrently with applicant's next submittal. We will schedule our
staff to review the revised material after the escrow has been posted.
The estimated amount is envisioned to cover the cost associated with reviewing the next submittal. We will
continue to monitor the escrow funds and if additional funds need to be posted into escrow, we will notify you
immediately.
Fee Schedule
Chazen will provide all services on a "Time-and-Material" basis and will issue invoices monthly for services
rendered. Chazen will make its best effort to complete this task within the estimated amount, however fees
are dependent upon the responsiveness of the applicant and their professional consultant(s) and the effort
required to provide a comprehensive evaluation as requested by the City. We will not exceed the estimated fee
amounts without written authorization from the City. Reimbursable expenses will be invoiced and include our
direct expenses, such as mileage, overnight mailings, and extensive photocopying and map reproductions.
