(303)536-2010 3.1 /WELD February 8, 2010 Commissioner Douglas Rademacher, Chairman Weld County Board of County Commissioners P.O. Box 758 Greeley, Colorado 80632 (fax) 970-352-0242 Subject: Weld County School District Re-3J "Cash-in-lieu of land dedication" Dear Commissioner Rademacher: Currently the"cash-in-lieu of land dedication" fee is paid to the School District for each new unit allowed under the County's Recorded Exemption Process. This cash is to be collected by the School District before the Recorded Exemption is approved by the County. Members of the development community have requested that the collection of the "cash-in-lieu of land dedication" fee take place as a part of the Building Permit Process rather than the Recorded Exemption process. The School District supports this change,provided that the fee is paid before the Building Permit is approved by the County, and as a condition of such approval. We anticipate that the process would be the same as is currently done with the Recorded Exemption.A property owner would first pay the fee to the School District, receive a Receipt of Payment from the School District, then take that Receipt to the Planning Department when applying for the Building Permit. The fee would be part of the Building Permit checklist and the Planning Depai tment would not issue the Building Permit unless and until it receives verification from the District that the fee has been paid. This change recognizes that the potential impact to the School District is more certain when improvements are constructed on the property as evidenced by the application for a Building Permit. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions concerning the School District's position in this matter, or if you need additional information. Sincerely, // u,M,111)1C _— Ms. Susie Townsend Superintendent of Schools Weld County School District Re-3J 2010-0367 L C1/92/) /W,(//Delis �0 P L c Hello
