Subject: Fwd: SUB202000094 St. Francis Avenue Subdivision Plat - 2nd Review Comments
Keane and Justin,
I am concerned by this review letter.
2. The Deed of Dedication for the SWM and open space easements have been executed and notarized by
Nicole, we did this on July 7. Nicole has the documents.
7, 10 & 11. These were supposed to have been addressed when we resubmitted. Did anyone verify all the
changes had been made to the plat before resubmitting? Dave, can you jump on these revisions and get
something back to Shimp Engineering asap. Please also send me a pdf version of the revised documents.
12. We submitted the fee payment 6 weeks ago.Can you give me an idea on how long this process typically
takes and what is involved with the "test results"?
13. Full Soil Studies were sent to you all on 6/24. Do we need to call VDH?
14. Are we still good here? We got a response from Adam on Thursday last week that he was satisfied. I assume
he hasn't sent his approval to Cameron yet? I'm concerned with this since his original letter was dated June 17
and Cameron didn't get it to us until July 17.
15. Looks like we left out the Road Maintenance Agreement from the prior submission. Frustrating considering
there was an effort by all of us to expedite the document for the resubmittal. Nicole now has the fully executed
and notarized agreement, I dropped it off last Wednesday Aug 5.
Guys, I need to get this wrapped up. Next month will mark 3 years since we have started this project. After the
first 2 years of effort, we learned that our preliminary 4 lot application was allowed to expire and now nearly 8
months since we audibled to a 2 lot division because it was supposed to be the "quick resolution". I have been
politely and patiently pushing this effort but can't afford to let more time slip. It's not cheap to carry the debt on
this indefinitely and I have had a significant amount of cash tied up in a bond for 12 months now. What can I do
to help push this to the finish line? What can we do to get the County to expedite the next review?
Thanks,
IC .
