Subject: Waiver of San Joaquin Hills Transportation
Corridor Fee for #7 Upper Newport Plaza
Dear Mr. Davis:
This is to advise you that the City Council of the City of
Newport Beach during its regular meeting on March 24, 1986
waived the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Fee
for #7 Upper Newport Plaza in the amount of $17,212.00.
Based on this waiver, Permit No. 4986 for #7 Upper Newport
Plaza issued on January 6, 1986 is fully valid and your construction
may proceed as planned.
Very truly yours,

BUILDING DEPARTMENT - MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager
FROM: Building Director
SUBJECT: #7 Upper Newport Plaza (SJHTC Fee)
DA TE: February 25, 1986
Departmental investigation reveals that Permit No. 4986 for #7 Upper
Newport Plaza was issued on January 6, 1986 without collecting the
San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Fee of $17,212.00.
Collection was missed because plans 1were approved and ready to be
issued on November 26, 1985; SJHTC Fee became effective December
72, 1985 and the Building Permit was subsequently issued January
6, 1986 without noticing that an additional fee was due. By the
attached chronology you can see that permit issuance on this project
was an extensive and laborious process spanning over a ten month
period (February 28, 1985 to January 6, 1986).
It is my opinion that this Fee is due and payable whether we collected
it or not at the time of permit issuance. With your concurrence I
would like to write a letter to Mr. Davis informing him that his permit
is suspended until the $17,212.00 for the Transportation Corridor Fee
is paid. Please advise. Thank you.

At the end of November the owner attempted to "pull" the project permits
and was informed by the Building Department that some of the departmental
signatures were not in place in the city's project file. After repeated
attempts to clarify this issue the architect was requested to assist the
owner in resolving this issue. Syr o v pL os- lvoic4rc s%o0A- Mrs ,N P"cE

During the first week in December the architect met with the city and
confirmed that each of the required city signatures was in place. It was
the understanding of the architect that all necessary signatures were in
place at the time of the August 12, 1985 meeting with the Fire Department.

I contacted Mr. Garcia by telephone after
letter to explain that we intended to detail in
we believe are special circumstances regarding the
permit and the hardship of the Corridor Fees
at this time. oNL-y
In October we received notice by mail that our plans were Grddiny� "^it
permit ready. The notice requested that we pay our fees and(C�,Yct mat ed
receive our stamped plans.
On October 24, 19852 I obtained the necessary checks payable to
the City for the grading permit. Please find enclosed copies
of the checks dated October 24, 1985. I picked up the Grading
Permit on November 5, 1985.
By November 8, 1985, I had obtained the remaining checks for
fees, permits and deposits payable to the City of Newport Beach
for our Building Permit. Please find enclosed copies of these
checks dated November 7, 1985.
On November 11, 19850 I tried to pick up the Building Permit;
however, the clerk at the front counter stated that the
landscape plans had not been signed off. I contacted Steve
Malefyt, our Landscape Architect. He stated that he was
informed by the City that they had been signed off. He
contacted Jack Brook, who stated that they were signed off
him and that he had sent the plans over to the front desk;
however, his approved landscape plans had been lost or

received approval from Jack Brook. Steve Malefyt and myself
picked them up and hand -carried them over to the front desk. u4f

Around November 20, 1985, I attempted to pay our Building
Permit fees, but again was denied. This time I was informed
that several signatures from the Building Department were
missing. I contacted Brian Dougherty, our architect. He sent
his representative to the City to correct the problem and
obtained the signatures needed.
Around November 29, 1985, I again went to the City and was
again told that I still didn't have all the signatures needed.
I contacted Brian Dougherty's office again. He called the City
Building Department and was told there must have been a mistake
at the front desk, and in fact the plans were permit ready. �ff1 6
i VIM�—
On December 100 1985, I again went to obtain our building
permit, and again I was told that not every Department Head had
signed our plans. The girl at the front desk contacted the
Department Heads in the Building Department while I was
present. Each man who came out had jigned the plans and showed
the staff at the front desk. One of the gentlemen stated that
he had signed several times. After having received the
signatures, I was told we needed to pay an additional $1,109.97
because the plan check fee had expired. I put in a check app�«,,,¢ had a(A'ded
request for the fee the next day. fev. ;t' (&. cl��� -to
e)COJU
On December 12th I left on my Christmas through New Years
vacation. Upon returning, I was finally able to obtain the
Building Permit.
Please find the enclosed copy of the Memorandum from our
architect, Brian Paul Dougherty of Dougherty & Dougherty, and
the copy of the letter from Stephen J. Male£yt, our landscape
architect collaborating my recollection.
Paying the Transportation Corridor Fees is a severe financial
hardship. I believe that under the unique and very special
circumstances which I have outlined above, that in fairness we
should not be required to pay this fee. We would very much
appreciate your understanding in this matter..
Thank you.

RE: 7 Upper Newport Plaza
Dear Sirs:
Please be advised that on December 12, 1985, the imposition of fees
required to construct the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor
became effective on new construction. The date of issuance of your
permit (PC 287-85) was January 6, 1986, and is, therefore, subject to
assessment of the above fee.
Staff failed to collect the above mentioned fee at the time your
building permit was issued; however, this error does not relieve you
from payment of Corridor fees. The attached document indicates that
based on a proposed 13,240 square foot office building the San Joaquin
Hills Transportation orridor Fees would require a contribution in the
amount of v37�"A6. 17,z�Z.ao
We apologize for the staff's error; however, we would appreciate a
prompt response. Please submit a check to the building department
for fees due. Please include address (7 Upper Newport Plaza) and plan
check number on check (PC 287-85).
Please contact me at the above number or make the required payment
within five (5) days of the date of this letter. Should you fail to
do as requested, the permit could be void and the matter referred to
the Office of the City Attorney. Thank you for your cooperation in
resolving this matter.
Very truly yours,

RE: 7 Upper Newport Plaza
Dear Sirs:
Please be advised that on December 12, 1985, the imposition of fees
required to construct the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor
became effective on new construction. The date of issuance of your
permit (PC 287-85) was January 6, 1986, and is, therefore, subject to
assessment of the alcove fee.
Staff failed to collect the above mentioned fee at the time your
building permit was issued; however, this error does not relieve you
from payment of Corridor fees. The attached document indicates that
based on a proposed 13,240 square foot office building the San Joaquin
Hills Transportation Corridor Fees would require a contribution in the
amount of $17,2�2-0617,2�2.ov
We apologize for the staff's error; however, we would appreciate a
prompt response. Please submit a check to the building department
for fees due. Please include address (7 Upper Newport Plaza) and plan
check number on check (PC 287-85).
Please contact me at the above number or make the required payment
within five (5) days of the date of this letter. Should you fail to
do as requested, the permit could be void and the matter referred to
the Office of the City Attorney. Thank you for your cooperation in
resolving this matter.
Very truly yours,

RE: San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Fee (Municipal Code
Section 15.42.010) for 7 Upper Newport Plaza in the amount of
$17,212.06.
Dear Sir:
Pursuant to our telephone conversation of January 20, 1986, you
assured me of action on the above stated matter in 72 hours. Since I
have had no communication from you concerning the fee, I must conclude
that you have not solved the problem.
Please contact me within five (5) days of the date of this letter to
inform me as to how you intend to resolve this problem.
I must reiterate that a stop work order or void of the issued building
permit would not benefit either your company or the City of Newport
Beach.
Please contact me at the above number or make the required payment
within five (5) days of the date of this letter. Should you fail to
do so the matter will be referred to the Office of the City Attorney
for further action.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Re: San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor Fees
Dear Mr. Hewicker:
I am writing in answer to your letter to Myers-O. Hill Ltd.
dated January 15, 1986, a copy of which is enclosed for your
convenience. I contacted Mr. Garcia by telephone after
receiving the letter to explain that we intended to detail in
writing what we believe are special circumstances regarding the
delays in our permit and the hardship of the Corridor Fees
being imposed at this time.
In October we received notice by mail that our plans were
permit ready. The notice requested that we pay our fees and
receive our stamped plans.
On October 24, 1985, I obtained the necessary checks payable to
the City for the grading permit. Please find enclosed copies
of the checks dated October 24, 1985. I picked up the Grading,•
Permit on November 5, 1985.
By November 8, 1985, I had obtained the remaining checks for
fees, permits and deposits payable to the City of Newport Beach
for our Building Permit. Please find enclosed copies of these
checks dated November 7, 1985.
On November 11, 1985, I tried to pick up the Building Permit;
however, the clerk at the front counter stated that the
landscape plans had not been signed off. I contacted Steve
Malefyt, our Landscape Architect. He stated that he was
informed by the City that they had been signed off. He
contacted Jack Brook, who stated that they were signed off by
him and that he had sent the plans over to the front desk;(W%kK
however, his approved landscape plans had been lost or
misplaced. We once again submitted landscaping plans and
received approval from Jack Brook. Steve Malefyt and myself
picked them up and hand -carried them over to the front desk.

February 11, 1986
Around November 20, 1985, I attempted to pay our Building
Permit fees, but again was denied. This time I was informed
that several signatures from the Building Department were
missing. I contacted Brian Dougherty, our architect. He sent
his representative to the City to correct the problem and 9
obtained the signatures needed. s'
Around November 29, 1985, I again went to the City and was
again told that I still didn't have all the signatures needed.
I contacted Brian Dougherty's office again. He called the City
Building Department and was told there must have been a mistake
at the front desk, and in fact the plans were permit ready.
On December 10, 1985, I again went to obtain our building
permit, and again I was told that not every Department Head had
signed our plans. The girl at the front desk contacted the
Department Heads in the Building Department while I was
present. Each man who came out had signed the plans and showed
the staff at the front desk. One of the gentlemen stated that
he had signed several times. After having received the
signatures, I was told we needed to pay an additional $1,109.97
because the plan check fee had expired. I put in a check
request for the fee the next day.
On December 12th I left on my Christmas through New Years
vacation. Upon returning, I was finally able to obtain the
Building Permit.
Y
Please find the enclosed copy of the Memorandum from our
architect, Brian Paul Dougherty of Dougherty & Dougherty, and
the copy of the letter from Stephen J. Malefyt, our landscape
architect collaborating my recollection.
Paying the Transportation Corridor Fees is a severe financial
hardship. I believe that under the unique and very special
circumstances which I have outlined above, that in fairness we
should not be required to pay this fee. We would very much
appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Thank you.

1.2 At this point in the chronology it was indicated that all approvals were
in place. This information came from the Building Department.
1.3 At the end of November the owner attempted to "pull" the project permits
and was informed by the Building Department that some of the departmental
signatures were not in place in the city's project file. After repeated
attempts to clarify this issue the architect was requested to assist the
owner in resolving this issue.
1.4 During the first week in December the architect met with the city and
confirmed that each of the required city signatures was in place. It was
the understanding of the architect that all necessary signatures were in
place at the time of the August 12, 1985 meeting with the Fire Department.

RE: 7 Upper Newport Plaza
Dear Sirs:
i
Please be advised that on December 12, 1985, the imposition of fees
required to construct the San Joaquin Hills Transportation Corridor
became effective on new construction. The date of issuance of your
permit (PC 287-85) was January 6, 1986, and is, therefore, subject to
assessment of the above fee.
Staff failed to collect the above mentioned fee at the time your
building permit was issued; however, this error does not relieve you
from payment of Corridor fees. The attached document indicates that
based on a proposed 13,240 square foot office building the San Joaquin
Hills Transportation Corridor Fees would require a contribution in the
amount of $17,212.06.
We apologize for the staff's error; however, we would appreciate a
prompt response. Please submit a check to the building department
for fees due. Please include address (7 Upper Newport Plaza) and plan
check number on check (PC 287-85).
Please contact me at the above number or 'make the required payment
within five (5) days of the date of this letter. Should you fail to
do as requested, the permit could be void and the matter referred to
the Office of the City Attorney. Thank' you for your cooperation in
resolving this matter.
Very truly yours,
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
