Re: Austrade Office Building: Request for Extension to Variances Granted (Application VAR-02-17)
Dear Ms. Zacarias:
Please accept this letter as a formal request on behalf of Bartl Real Estate, LLC (the "Applicant"), for an
extension to the variances granted by the Village Council on March 10, 2017 (the "Variances") for the Austrade
Office Building (the "Project") by way of the attached Order of the Village Council (the "Order') for Application
VAR-02-17.
The Order contains a condition that states "The variance shall expire within six (6) months from the date of
grant unless a building permit based upon and incorporating the variance is issued within the six-month period
and construction has begun thereafter." Based on an original approval date for the Variances of March 10,
2017, the current expiration date for the Variances is September 10, 2017. Sec. 78-68 of the Village Code of
Ordinances entitled Time limitation on variances states, in part, "The planning and zoning board or the village
council, as applicable, may grant one six-month extension to any variance time limit upon written request of the
applicant made prior to the expiration of the original time limit."
As you are aware, the Applicant and Project team have been diligently pursuing site plan approval for the
Project by the Village, and the Project is expected to be heard by the Village Council for final consideration of
the pending site plan application at its August 10, 2017 meeting. In order for a building permit to be issued and
construction commenced on the Project, the Applicant must prepare civil and vertical construction plans and
secure the requisite civil and vertical construction permits from those applicable authorities having jurisdiction.
The Applicant has commenced preparation of the civil construction plans and will be submitting permit
applications to the appropriate agencies in the month of July 2017. Further, the Applicant will commence
preparation of the vertical construction plans for the subject building pending and immediately upon approval
of the Project by the Village Council. Given the timeframes noted above, it is anticipated that the first building
permit for the Project that would incorporate the Variances approved (site work permit) would be issued
around October-November of 2017. Accordingly, please accept this letter as a formal request for a six (6)
month extension to the aforementioned September 10, 2017 expiration date for the Variances in order to
provide sufficient time for the Project team to secure the necessary permits required for construction.
We look forward to bringing a first class office building project to the Village. Should you require any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
