RE: Request for Time Extension

DATE: September 7, 2010
Attached is information related to the request by Marc Mariano, AICP, Cardno TBE, Agent for
BVG Acquisitions, Inc. (owner), for an extension of time relative to the above referenced project
located at 2855 Gulf to Bay Boulevard. This application was originally approved by the
Community Development Board on October 21, 2008. It is noted that, pursuant to Section 4-407,
the Planning Director has previously granted a one-year time extension in 2009. A one-year
extension is being requested which would expire on October 21, 2011.
Pursuant to Section 4-407 of the Community Development Code, extensions of time "shall be for

"may include but are not limited to an unexpected national crisis (acts of war, significant
downturn in the national economy, etc.), excessive weather-related delays, and the like." In this
particular case, the applicant has indicated that the project is being delayed for economic reasons
as it relates to the downturn of the local and national economy.
The Code further directs that the Community Development Board may consider whether
significant progress on the project is being made and whether or not there are pending or
approved code amendments that would significantly affect the project

CDC Section 4-407 requires the application for a building permit within one year of the date the
CDB approved the request (October 21, 2009). This same Section allows an extension of time to
initiate a building permit, provided good cause is shown and documented in writing within the
original period of validity. The Planning and Development Director may also consider whether
significant progress on the project is being made and whether or not there are pending or
approved Code amendments that would significantly affect the project.
On October 12, 2009, you submitted a request for a one-year time extension to apply for a
building permit to construct the improvements on this parcel. Your letter cited the problem of
the significant downturn in the local and national economy.
In accordance with the provisions of CDC Section 4-407, I APPROVE a one-year time
extension to October 21, 2010, to submit an application for a building permit to construct the site
improvements on the property at 2855 Gulf to Bay Boulevard.
In the event you are unable to proceed with the project by submitting for the building permit, the
CDB may approve one additional extension of time to initiate a building permit application. Such
extension shall not exceed one year, shall be for the project originally approved (or as approved
through the Minor Revision process) and shall be for good cause shown and documented in
writing. The CDB must receive the request for this extension within the time frame granted
by the Planning and Development Director (period of validity after the original extension
approved by the Planning and Development Director, which means that any time extension
request must be submitted with sufficient lead time to be placed on the CDB agenda that
precedes the above expiration date). Good causes may include, but are not limited to, an
unexpected national crisis (acts of war, significant downturn in the national economy, etc.),
Px!`PCQIVP W(athPr-rP1ntP(d df-lavC and the lT1hP CM may al-,n cnncidPr thPcP came Cwif-
amendments enumerated above, whether significant progress on the project is being made and
whether or not there are additional pending or approved Code amendments that would further
significantly affect the project.
Please be aware that the issuance of this Development Order does not relieve you of the necessity
to obtain any building permits or pay any impact fees that may be required. In order to facilitate
the issuance of any permit or license affected by this approval, please bring a copy of this letter
with you when applying for any permits or licenses that require this prior development approval.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Wayne M. Wells, AICP, Planner III, at
727-562-4504.
Sincerely,
ert
