RE: Preliminary Plat Extension/Alexander Court
Dear Ms. Diamond:
I have spoken thismoming with your attorney, Mr. David Ritter. and he has asked me to send
you this letter by way of confmnation of our request for an extension of the viability of the
previously approved preliminary plat for the Alexander Court !lubdi vision and to request that the
extension oftime be in an amount of nine (9) months. It is my understanding that nine (9) months
is the maximum extension possible and we would like to do this in order to allow a variety of
pending issues to all be resolved although I do hope that the time for getting the preliminary plat
superceded by the finaJ plat will certainly not take that long.
It is my understanding that this specific request is sufficient for the purposes of the Planning
Department and the City and J am also including a copy which we sent several days ago requesting
the extension of time on the preliminary plat, in general, and hope that these two (2) together will
be sufficient to ensure that this matter is processed by the City.
Obviously, if there are any problems or anything further is needed, please do not hesitate to
contact us or to contact Mr. Ritter and have him relay such infoonation.
Very truly yours, '1
