If granted, the request will allow the completion of construction within five (5) years of the effective date of this amended Ordinance, with the possibility of an administrative time extension of an additional five (5) years, for a maximum of ten (10) years to complete construction. The proposed project consists of converting two (2) existing single-family dwellings into office spaces, with the potential of demolishing them and constructing a new commercial building on the subject site. This project consists of three adjacent parcels, totaling 28,002 square feet. In the original request, the applicant submitted a site plan depicting the following: • Proposed conversion of an existing 1,288-square foot single-family dwelling with an existing carport into office space on TMK: (3) 2-2-028:030.

The granted administrative time extension gave an additional year, or by April 12, 2008. Several factors affected the ability and focus of the applicant to develop the property, as the applicant and her parents were to develop this project together. However, a death in the family shortly after the approval of the original Change of Zone request took the energy and focus out of developing the subject properties. Despite having to pay higher county real property taxes, the easiest option for the applicant was to continue renting the two (2) existing dwellings for residential uses. The unanticipated global economic meltdown and the financial crisis started in 2008, when things were settling down for the applicant, which made securing any of the proposed project financing difficult. As trends now indicate a growing economy, the applicant remains committed to completing the construction and related improvements for this project. The applicant feels that the -3-
