permits iii the 3rd Addition. Neither the Site Impro,ement
Performance Agreement or the financial guarantee were Pver
provided, and approximately 30 building permits have been issued
for construction in Quail Ridge 3rd Addition since auproval of
the final plat. The developer does nut agree with staff's
interpretation relating to the 3rd addition.

Bary Persons, co -developer of Quail Ridge, stated it was his
understanding that no Site Improvement Performance Agreement or
financial guarantee was necessary with respect to the private
improvements to the open space outlots. He stated the private
improvements for the 3rd Addition will be completed by the end
of April and that the withholding of permits in the 3rd Addition
Is causing an economic hardship.
Councilmember Ricker asked if misinterpretation of this
Condition of the Development Contract could also occur relative
to the 4th Addition and suggested that the language be amended
for clarification of the Couiici 1's intent.
Mr. Persons stated the language could be interpreted different
ways. He requested that the Development Contract provision
prohibiting issuance of building permits for the 4th Addition
prior to installation of those site improvements be modified to
only the seven lots of the 4th Addition that directly abut the
private open space outlot.
