17 <br /> NORTHEN, BLUE, ROOKS, THIBAUT, ANDERSON & WOODS, L.L.P. <br /> Ms. Mary Willis <br /> November 6, 1996 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Mr. Bailey would not be opposed to dedicating the entire park tract now if the <br /> Commissioners could bind themselves to approve the remaining phases if submitted in <br /> compliance with all requirements of the ordinance. However, since the Board cannot make a <br /> binding commitment along these lines, I have advised Mr. Bailey not to take the financial risk <br /> inherent in dedicating the entire park tract in advance of the approval of the balance of the <br /> development. <br /> I hope the Commissioners do not interpret the phasing of University Manor as lack of <br /> commitment on Mr. Bailey's part to complete the development. Rather, the phasing is the <br /> product of the logistics of preparing and processing an application for preliminary plat <br /> approval. As you know, the Planning Staff encouraged Mr. Bailey to phase the project just to <br /> make the project more manageable and he agreed to do so. However, Mr. Bailey fully intends <br /> to submit the remaining phases for approval as evidenced by his substantial expenditures to, <br /> date for soil studies, engineering work and traffic studies covering the remaining phases of <br /> the development. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Davi 1I.
