Subject: Extension of approvals
John,
As we discussed, because the condo market is basically nonexistent and appears that it will remain so for the
next several years, I respectfully request an extension of the approvals from July 31, 2008 to July 31, 2010. If
possible, I would appreciate a three year extension to July 31, 2011 as I don't expect that the market will recover
in time to market and obtain presales in time to commence construction by July 31, 2010.
For your and the council's information, I continue to seek other acceptable uses of the property. However, 1 have
yet been unable to find anything that is financially feasible. As I have a significant investment in the Project and
the property and a commitment to Hastings, I continue to explore alternatives.
I appreciate the staffs and council's attentions to this matter. If I can answer any questions or provide any
information, please let me know.
Respectfully,
Bob
