SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR TIMELINE EXTENSION -SIDEWALKS
Dear Mr. Sokolow,
When Resolution 06-480 was approved GreeneHill Acres Phase I LP left $34,000 in escrow with the
City to be paid us upon completion of the sidewalks in Phase I (Laura Lane). There are cu~:rently
eighteen homes on Laura Lane seventeen of which are occupied. Sidewalks are in place in front of the
seventeen and the sidewalk for the eighteenth will soon be constructed concurrent with the driveway.
The current housing slump and heightened caution on the part of lenders has caused a slow down in the
construction of homes in our area. As result of this change in housing market conditions, i~t will take
longer to complete the buildout of custom homes on Laura Lane than earlier envisioned.
Resolution 06-480 is dated 11/16/06 and specifies that sidewalks will be built within two years. As of
this date, 8/21/08, it is clear that while construction of several additional homes is about to begin, thirty
walks will not be completed by 11/16/08.
Based on our good faith progress to date despite difficult market conditions, please grant this request for
a two year extension of the time allowable for sidewalk construction and eventual refund of our $34,000.
Best regards,
Ramon Hill and Clint Greene
