SUBJECT: Extensions for MountainGate Phase 4 and Quarry Reclamation
Number of pages including this page: 3
Hello Jim:
ll13Ilks for your request for the correspondence regarding extensions for MountainGatc
and your offer to arrange a meeting with ~tafC
I'm sending the 8-17-05 letter from Mike Evans requesting extensions for approval
periods of the MountainGate Phase 4 and the Quarry Reclamation project, as well as the
email respon~e frum Me! Ober~t.
I'm not quite clear on the provisions for extensions in 35.090 (l)(a)(b) Subdivision Plat
Submittal Requirements. While (b) appears to apply to subdivisions subject to Master
Plan approval, I gather the time line extension as specified in (a) is required. And while I
am sensitive to tbe time frame in (1 )(a), I presume we can use the appeal deadline date of
March 12, 2004 as the date of approval of the Tentative Subdivision for Pbase 4.
Sinee (I )(a) requires the applicant to demonstrate how the Subdivision Plat application
will be submitted within the requested extension time line, perhaps it would be best for
me to delay writing the letter until we meet and I <:an eonfirm speci'fic application
requirements and projected dates for submittal with staff assistance. I would also like to
bring along Mark Vukanovieh - he is generally in town Wednesday through Friday - and
if you could set up II meeting that would be great.
Thanks for your assistance. -dr

RE:
Extension of Approval Period, MountainGate Phase IV/SUB 2003-00062
Extension of Approval Period MountainGate Quarry
ReclarnationlZON2004-0006
As you aware Springfield Development Code Article 35.090 has been revised to allow
new phasing timeframes and extensions for subdivision approvals. When I asked at our
meeting prior to the new code adoption. Me! and Gary Karp indicated that I might be able
to take advantage of the new provisions for Phase IV of MountainGate. My
interpretation oftbe new code provisions is that a two-year extension ma
the Phase 4 approval but t~at a . cation u division a ro would be
required to take advantage ofthe phasing timeframe aUowed under subsection (b). If you
concur I will plan to submit. an applicatiori to the director. for a two-year extension of the
Phase 4 approval.

The Discretionary Use Permit granted by the Hearings Official for quarry reclamation
was approved for two years, until June 2006. Reclamarion activity was conducted in
2004 to the extent possible until prepared material~ can be removed 'and placed through
the construction of Phase IV. Permits for construction of Phase IV have. not yet been
issued and reclamation can therefore not be completed within the 2 year permitted
timeframe. I spoke with the Heilrings Oilicial about the procedure for extension of the
permit. He suggested making a request for extension which would be acted upon by him
without reopening the hearing. Notice and an opportunity to comment however, would
be provided to neighboring property owner~. 1 would like to follow this procedure if
acceptable to the City. Almost certainly a processing fee for each request would be
required but I couldn'tlocilte them in the elirrent fee schedule.
Thank you for your consideration and I'll look forward to YOllr response.
