P,O, Box 310
Boynton Beach, Florida, 33425-0310
RE: Time extension for The Arches ("Project") - MSPM 05-008 & HTEX 05-006
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
On behalf of Boynton Ventures I, LLC ("Petitioner") please accept this letter as a follow-up to the
letter dated September 5, 2008 requesting to extend the Ma~ter Site Plan (MSPM 05-008) and
Height Exception (HTEX 05-006) approvals for the Arches project.
The current residential market coupled with credit crunch have. posed severe constraints on the
Petitioner to develop the Project in a timely manner. Efforts to obtain financing through the
market as well as through Tax Increment Financing (ITIF"l opportunities with the City's
Community Redevelopment Agency have been difficult. As you know, the Strand v, Escambia
case in 2007 initially ruled that TIF bonds could not be sold without referendum, This ruling put
a hold on the TIF financing that was promised to the Petitioner to assist in funding the Project.
On September 18, 2008 the Strand v. Escambia ruling was overturned, thus now allowing TIF
financing to become available once again without the need for referendum. The TIF bonds that
were once available now must be reallocated as the City's Community Redevelopment Agency
sees fit.
Additionally, the credit crisis has greatly impacted the Project's ability to obtain additional
needed financing as well as impacted potential buyers interested in the Project, Everyday news
reports and articles indicate that the economy is headed deeper into the present recession.
Banks are no longer lending money to one another and the public is being squeezed as a result.
As companies across the state and nation are unable to borrow, they begin to cut jobs, cease
investment, and begin defaulting on their debt in large numbers.
In addition, the number of foreclosures has begun to surpass the number of homes being sold
on the market. This inequity greatly affects the sales of new homes within new developments.
Consumers looking to tighten their own wallets in the face of a recession are beginning to
"bargain shop," This new trend affects the price at which new homes can be sold in order to stay
competitive with the rest of the homes on the market.
The Petitioner is caught in the middle of the downturning residential market and the existing
credit crisis. Before the crisis threw the market "out of whack," a developer could work with
Wall Street investment banks to acquire financing, but are now feeling squeezed as their
funding comes from the same pool of money as individual home owners.
The Petitioner needs the requested time extension to acquire additional funding as well as let
the market to begin to recover. The additional residential units proposed by the Petitioner will
contribute to the amount of residential units currently flooding the market. This overflooded
market will be detrimental to the City of Boynton Beach in the short term. Postponing the
addition of new units into the market will hopefully allow the supply and demand for housing to
balance out.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me
at (561) 237-1524.
