same date of November 1, 2020. We recognize your legitimate desire to have the trail completed when families living in Phase I desire to have trail access to Acorn Creek Park. We plan to complete the Phase I sidewalk concurrently with the construction of Phase II roadway improvements. The reason for this is that there is efficiency in doing the concrete improvements concurrently with the construction of Laramee Lane, and also that constructing this sidewalk following heavy construction on Phase I will result in less damage to the sidewalk during Phase I home construction. We will construct the Phase I sidewalk improvements sooner if Phase II is delayed and families living in Phase I need access to the sidewalk. We request that you extend the deadline for completing the Phase I sidewalk improvements to November 1, 2020. With respect to the ponding of water at the development site, we do not think that the ponding of water bears any connection to the concerned resi pump water from the pond simply to be good neighbors. I would note that 2019 was the wettest year since record-keeping commenced in 1871, and we also had an unseasonably wet 2018 season. Additionally, this neighborhood is part of a low and wet area. As you know, this past weekend we went to the site and effectively pumped water out of all areas where water had collected. We see pumping as a sensible solution until we are able to develop Phase II. As noted above, we expect to have a much clearer picture for 2020 development activities by early June, after hearing from our builders about their plans to purchase lots. Please let me know of any additional questions. We are doing our best to provide a first-class residential development in Centerville. We hope you agree, and we look forward to continued cooperation and good relations until we complete the entire project. Sincerely, Jim MacKinnon Elmcrest Vistas, LLC
