HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.iSeptember 14, 2011 Item No. Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a 100 day extension for recording the Kingsley Shores final plat. Adoption of this motion will provide the development team with an additional 100 days to obtain the necessary financing to allow the Kingsley Shores senior housing project to move forward. Overview Kingsley Shores representatives are requesting another 100 day extension for recording the Kingsley Shores final plat. The City Council approved the Kingsley Shores preliminary and final plat and related planning actions at their March 7, 2011 meeting. Chapter 10 -2 -3E of the City Code (the Subdivision Ordinance) requires that a final plat be recorded within 100 days of City Council approval. The City Council approved an initial 100 day extension to record the Kingsley Shores final plat at their June 6, 2011 meeting. The final plat of Kingsley Shores will expire on September 23, 2011 unless the City Council grants an additional extension. Kingsley Shores is a 101 unit continuing care senior housing development to be located east of the Charthouse Restaurant on the north side of Klamath Trail, west of Kenwood Trail (CSAH 5). Planning Department staff recommends that the City Council grant an additional 100 day extension for recording the Kingsley Shores final plat to January 1, 2012. Primary Issues to Consider What are the implications if this final plat extension request is not granted? The Kingsley Shores preliminary and final plat would become null and void requiring approval of a new preliminary and final plat.

As Andy Auger has communicated, the financing is in process but slightly behind the original schedule. Herbert J Sims, & Co. is currently in the process of arranging financing and we are confident a written commitment to finance the project will be forthcoming within the next 30 days. Accordingly, Charthouse is requesting an extension of the final plat recording date. I would be happy to discuss the financing schedule by telephone if that would be helpful. My direct telephone number is 612- 670 -0830 or I can be reached by email at mlandreville@hjsims.com. As you are no doubt aware, in the current economic environment, lenders are taking their time to process construction loan requests and the delay does not suggest any doubt about our ultimate success. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Sincerely, Mark Landreville Executive Vice President Cc: Andy Auger, Charthouse Senior Living, LLC
