Re: Building Permits -JIIKJlij,lif:iis ,
Dear Kevin:
This letter is a follow up to our meeting on Thursday (6/28/01) regarding a number of building
related question/issues. Listed below is a recap of our conversations and lor City Council
actions in conjunction with final plat approval.
1. Our sales/land office was proposed to be constructed on an Outlot C. Since City
Ordinances prohibit construction of a dwelling on an outlot we requested and received
City Council approval to replat Outlot C into a Lot and Block to resolve the this issue.
2. A copy of the final plat has been sent to Ms. Linda Goeb, City Administrator for
addressing.
3. Our sales trailer will be 2- GE Modular units put together and located on Lot 1, Bk. 1. We
are preparing a site plan to submit to the city council for review and approval. The sales
office will be a temporary structure (hopefully 2yrs) after which it would be relocated to a
future phase. As discussed, tie downs in lieu of concrete foundation or pillars may
anchor the building.
4. The city limits deviation from the developments approved grading plan plus or minus 0.20
feet. Deviation greater than that will require city approval (City Engineer-SEH). An
as-build survey of the final lot grades will be required on each lot prior to issuance of the
Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.).
5. The City Council approved early starts for building model homes and the sales center
conditioned upon the streets being graveled (CL 5) and the final plat being recorded.
6. Landscape escrows will beretained/released by us in an effort to minimize the city's
involvement/work load in this process. I believe a condition to this effect was
incorporated in the Developers Agreement. We will be please to work with staff in
preparing a sign off form or check list to review prior to issuance of the C.O.

7. We will have an architectural review committee (arc) review and approve all home
building plans prior to construction. We request that the city not issue any permit before
arc has approved the design. Again, we would be happy to work with staff in developing
a submittal process i.e. form or stamp on' the plans to help monitor.
8. Due to our landscape requirements, we request that the building department withhold the
issuance of an occupancy certificate until you have received an approval form from us.
This constitutes my understanding of our meeting. If I have misstated any of our discussions
please inform me immediately. Good luck in your future endeavors.
