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, 2020. 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 and also mentions that this very likely will be the last extension request unless Mr. Bell is able to partner with someone to build the project in a manner similar to what was expressed and discussed with Council members during the last extension request in 2018.
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, 2022.
