The city should remove this park and the associated <br /> funding from the list until a suitable parcel is identified. <br /> • The park facility projects list includes$8.1 million for improvements to joint use school facilities. <br /> Has the city checked to ensure that the school district is not charging development for these same <br /> improvements through the payment of school impact fees? If the answer is yes,the projects <br /> should be eliminated from the list. (See Table 9 on Page 13 of the Pleasanton Development <br /> Impact Fee study.) <br /> • A 3 percent administrative fee to manage the capital facilities and transportation impact fee <br /> programs is excessive. A 1.5 percent fee is more than adequate. (Page 3, Pleasanton Development <br /> Impact Fee study.) <br /> Lastly,we would ask that the city mitigate the impacts of only absolutely necessary fee hikes by <br /> spreading out small adjustments over a minimum of two years.This will allow development applicants <br /> sufficient time to factor the added costs into their pro formas and financing plans.Applicants with <br /> projects already in the pipeline should be grandfathered under the existing fee structure,as they have been <br /> working on their developments for some time and cannot absorb the extra costs. Without such a <br /> provision,applicants may have to abandon or substantially postpone these projects. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. Feel free to call with any questions or comments. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Va4 <br /> Lisa A.
