The District refutes <br />many of the assertions in the ERLC letter regarding the posture of the ongoing discussions on <br />mitigation payments. As a result, the District is compelled to correct facts in the record before <br />the Board of Commissioners. ln the District's view, it appears that ERLC is simply trying to drive <br />its Project foni'rrard, after exchange of only a few letters, and without actually considering the <br />impacts the Project has on the District and fire and emergency response services to the broader <br />community. <br />The last communication proposing mitigation came from the District in a letter dated June 25, <br />2021 , to which ERLC has not responded. The District's June 25, 2021 , offer of mitigation terms <br />included the following terms: <br />. ERLC pay Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($875.00) per residential unit <br />(The definition of a unit is a single-family residential structure, garage or shop <br />with living quarters or home, a duplex is 2 units, and a triplex is 3 units). <br />ERLC pay Fifty Cents ($0.S0) per square foot of commercial and industrial <br />occupied space. (The definition of an occupied space would include RV storage <br />units, recreational, campground or park buildings, and other structures inclusive <br />of storage spaces). <br />a <br />1 For the purposes of this letter, the reference to ERLC refers to the applicant or proponent at any stage <br />of the Project. <br />1500 Railroad Avenue <br />Bellingham, WA 9A225 <br />pl 360.671.1796 <br />ft 360.671.3781
