This request should be addressed to Public Works and Parks Director Cary Roe with a copy sent to the Community and Economic Development Department. EXTENSION CRITERIA The applicant has provided responses, in bold, to the FWRC 18.05.080(2) extension criteria. In the interest of clarity, the answers are paraphrased from the written request. (a) Circumstances beyond the applicant's control prevent compliance with the time limits of the subdivision code; An ownership change with the firm providing surveying services has delayed the resubmittal of the revised short plat document and lot closure calculations. (b) The applicant is making substantial progress in responding to the request for information so that review of the application can be furthered when that information is submitted; The applicant has been in contact with new staff at the surveying firm to ensure all financial obligations are addressed and the release of items requested will be expedient.

The applicant has requested a 90-day extension to resubmit requested materials. ti Ij Mr. Gehring June 30, 2011 Page 2 CLOSING Please contact Matthew Herrera, Associate Planner, at 253-835-2638 or matt.herrera@cityoffederalway.com if you have any questions regarding this letter or your short subdivision application in general.

We ask that an extension be granted based on the following: a. The project was delayed by circumstances beyond our control. As you know, all City comments have been addressed with the exception of an updated Plat Map. This is due to an ownership change with the company that provided the surveying services for our project. b. We are in communication with the new staff to ensure that all financial obligations are addressed so that they will release the revised plat map so that we can submit it for your review. c. We request a 90 day extension. We appreciate your assistance with this matter. Please feel free to contact me at (206) 715- 8830 if you have questions regarding this resubmittal.
