to reduce the size of the structure to a proposed 8,900-square foot,two-story office <br /> building, including one(1)residential unit and a 36-stall parking lot, two (2)of which <br /> will be ADA accessible. <br /> 3. Reason for the Request: According to the applicant,Final Plan Approval and a building <br /> permit were issued in 2011. However,based on cost considerations and the economy just <br /> coming off of a recession, construction was delayed, and plans were abandoned. The <br /> applicant subsequently submitted revised building plans in 2013,but due to a <br /> misunderstanding with the Department of Public Works(DPW), a building permit was <br /> never issued. In 2014, DPW issued a site work grading permit and some site work <br /> subsequently occurred. However,misunderstandings between the applicant and the then <br /> contractor resulted in lengthy litigation between the parties and construction was <br /> suspended during that time. With the litigation resolved, a new grading permit was issued <br /> in 2019 and site work re-commenced. Upon receipt of this time extension approval, a <br /> new Final Plan Approval can be obtained, a new building permit can be finalized, and the <br /> applicant intends to complete the project within 24 months. <br /> (P.D.
