But when we are sitting in a situation with a plant that has many technical issues associated with it because of its age, the way it was put together, the lack of records, etc. he felt we would set ourselves back considerably by changing consultants on this project. BUILDING PERMIT MORATORIUM Acting City Administrator Rupp stated DISCUSSION this item was tied to the water treat- ment plant item and that several of the builders had been asking what the status of their permits were. Dennis Drumm, 1536 Taft Ct. Mr. Drumm stated that the commitment that Louisville, Representing Columbine Homes had made verbally to the Columbine Homes City to purchase water taps this year and next year as well as 1986 still stands. It ha s, not been put in writing and hope- fully the other builders could meet with staff and Homart so whatever written com- mitments are made it will be a total pack- age. He expressed the urgency from Colum- bine Homes' perspective of lifting the building permit moratorium because of their plight in terms of development loans, con- struction loans, etc. needed for them to proceed with their project. The next phases of development at Hunters Ridge have been proceeding and proceeding as what is called out of pocket and the pockets aren't deep enough to go a whole lot further without the bank. They will co ntinue to operate in good faith and they certainly would appreciate any consideration that Council could give them at least in terms of 1984 that will allow them to proceed with the loans. Mr. Drumm commented, secondly, in antici- pation of perhaps Council not making a decision on this item this evening, the request is if the moratorium is not released tonight, two weeks is really creating a real problem for Columbine and that Council schedule a special meeting to consider re- scinding the moratorium so that it can be done as quickly as possible if not done tonight.
