To Whom It May Concern:
Please consider my request for an extension on Building Permit #05020017, issued for
Lot # 5 in Shelbourne Estates, 12989 Pontell Place.
Unfortunately, I found it necessary to delay starting construction on the property. By the
time the required documents were completed and the permit issued, there were nineteen
completed 'spec' homes in a subdivision with only forty-two building sites. Extensive
over building in an area causes a loss of value to all the homes/properties. It not only
harms the businesses that are building but also the individual homes and properties that
are already sold. I had three existing sold homes and concerned homeowners in
Shelbourne Estates. I decided that I should not contribute to the problem.
The 'spec' homes did not start to sell at an acceptable rate until the start of 2006, but are
now generating interest and selling. The prices and values are stabilizing and beginning
to appreciate. I am ready to begin construction immediately with an approximate finish
date around August 31, 2006. The type, size, and price range of my home will be an
asset to the area.
It should be noted that no work, other than plan review, was performed by the DOCD on
the existing permit. There should be no loss of time or money to the City of Carmel.
Also, this is my company's first extension request in thirty-eight years of building in
Carmel.
Please consider my request. I will appreciate your approval as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
LLr-~J~fN41
