INFORMATION: On behalf of Sustainable Properties, LLC, Mr. David Bell has requested an extension of the date on which a previously issued Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would otherwise expire on April 26, 2016. The Board of Aldermen originally granted this CUP on April 26, 2011. The permit allows construction of a major subdivision consisting of 39 residential dwelling units. Construction of the project has not commenced.
The applicant has submitted a letter, included as Attachment B, related to compliance with LUO Section 15-62 and including information about their continuing efforts to build the project. Of note, the letter requests a two year extension in accordance with the recent change to the LUO allowing for up to two years extension time instead of one. The letter also expresses the applicant’s interest in exploring additional funding mechanisms that may allow for the project to be built to serve low income families, which the applicant will further explain during the Board meeting.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The applicant has paid the applicable fee associated with this request. No other impact noted.
RECOMMENDATION:r Town Staff recommends that the Board of Aldermen adopt the attached resolution approving the permit extension request. The new expiration date for the permit would be April 26, 2018.
