Our family owns this land, all 30-acres.., My neighbors would be very upset if we were to do a project that did not live up to our goals.., Our family could have developed the project many years ago but waited until the proper time... Now we are in a downturn and no one knows how long it will last. When we started this project with the former Planning Director extensions of time were no problem you just request them. Now after we have spent $70,000,00 in engineering and plarming we have to worry whether you're going to allow our project... Our plans are complete and we could record pending bonds and a couple of utility agreements. We have worked with FMTUA and designed a sewer system and water system, Your engineering department should have copies of all the work we have done... We do not need nor does this area need a bad project. Our family has been in the development business for generations and we can tell you that timing is everything in this business, Our family also loves the river and we have recreated here for decades, We will not do anything to jeopardize what this place means to us or our neighbors", and WHEREAS, a Final Plat was received by the Planning and Zoning Department on May 10, 1993, The Planning staff sent a response letter to the engineer requesting changes to the Final Plat on May 21, 1993.
