A Stipulated Consent Order was entered with Weseman Development, LLC in which the developer agreed to restrict installation of permanent irrigation in a future development phase and in turn, the County agreed, contingent upon approval of the Board, to waive a $100 After the Fact Approval Fee for 94 parcels ($9,400) and a Fee refunded for 24 parcels ($2,400) for which fees have already been collected. Although this will result in forfeiting $11,800 in fees from the General Fund, there is benefit in increased water conservation and improved water quality by the irrigation restriction.
The Irrigation Approval Fee ($50) and Inspection Fee ($85) will still be paid for all 118 parcels, resulting in $15,930 fees collected for these lots. Fees collected through implementation of this Code do not directly support this program but do benefit the General Fund.
