River Ridge Circle, Suite 100, Burnsville, MN 55337 Ph: 952-882-1112 Fx:952- 882 -1531 April 21, 2010 John Burbank Senior Planner City of Cottage Grove 7516 80th Street South Cottage Grove, MN 55016 Re: Oak Cove Addition Request for One Year Final Plat Extension Mr. Burbank, Summit Ridge Two Company is hereby submitting a request for a one year extension of the final plat approval of Oak Cove Addition. Last year we were seeing the builders go under while they made attempts to reduce their inventory. This year we are seeing the banks go under while they make attempts to reduce their inventory. Construction costs remain high and we are not in a position to speculate on finishing the lots without some level of interest from a buyer. We have seen many situations where the construction assessments placed on property that hasn't sold, is greater than the price buyers are willing to offer. The City Council's consideration of this request is greatly appreciated.
