RE: Extension Request of HPC Resolution No. 18, Series of 2009 `_T"~'cE(lM
Deaz Saza:
As you are awaze, HPC Resolution No. 18, Series of 2009 granted Major
Development Conceptual Approval, View Plane Review Approval and Commercial
Design Review Approval for 434 East Cooper Avenue. The resolution was approved on
August 12, 2009 and provided that a development application for a Final Development
Plan must be submitted within one (1) yeaz of the date of the approval, and that failure to
file such an application within this time period would render the Conceptual
Development Plan approval null and void. The resolution further stated that the Historic
Preservation Commission may at its sole discretion and for good cause shown grant a one
time extension of the expiration date for the Conceptual Development Plan approval for
up to six (6) months provided a written request for extension is received no less than
thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date.
We have been diligently working with the City Council to receive Subdivision
approval for the development. The next meeting with City Council is not scheduled until
September 27, 2010, over one month past the date required in the resolution for a Final
Development Plan. Notwithstanding the consistent and diligent work of all involved, the
applicant cannot propose a Final Development Plan before HPC for their approval prior
to receiving the necessary approvals from Council. Thus, we hereby respectfully request
that an extension of six (6) months to February 12, 2011 be granted before the Conceptual
Development Plan approval is deemed null and void.
If I can be of further assistance in any way, or if you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me. You can reach me at the phone number provided, or
by email at mhaas@sopris.net.
Yours truly,
