Dear Mr. Peterson:
We are currently involved in your review process for a
preliminary P.U.D. on South College Avenue for the Carpet
Exchange project. At this point we have submitted our
drawings in which we have addressed all of the covenants provided
to us by Linda Ripley and other members of the Design staff for
the December 19th P.U.D. meeting. Because we have addressed all
of the staff comments we Feel confident the project will be
approved without significant revisions and be ready to enter the
Final review process.
It is this seven week final review period which has created
a hardship. The owners of this property had discussed with one
of your Planners prior to entering into their purchase agreement,
the review process For P.U.D. projects. Unfortunately they
understood the entire process to be seven weeks, not just the
preliminary review. Based on this information, a timetable for
our project including several key dates, i.e., property closings,
lease terminations and construction schedules, were implemented.
As we now know, our schedule is just half the time required.
For this reason I would like to request a variance to your
schedule for Final approval. Insomuch as our preliminary plan
should be approved with very little, if any, change, the only
additional requirement For final approval are the plat, final
landscape plan and the utility plans. We would like to submit
these drawings by the end of this week, and if at all possible,
get on track For the January meeting.
I realize that this schedule will be extremely demanding and
will take an extra effort for both my firm and your staff, but
we would be very grateful if such a variance were possible.
Thank you for considering this issue. I will contact
you on Tuesday of this week for your response.
Best egards
