Dear Ed,
Please accept this letter as a written request for an additional time extension to our
approved site plan and Development Order for Cortina. Our original site plan expiration
date was September 20, 2006, we were granted a one year extension that expires September
20, 2007. K. Hovnanian Homes (fka Town and Country Homes) will not have issued a
building permit by this date.
Based on the ongoing decline in the housing market. K. Hovnanian Homes feels it is
necessary to implement changes to the product type approved at Cortina. In order to meet
the needs of the current market. we are reviewing the current site plan and will be
implementing changes that we feel will assist with the marketing and selling of our homes.
We are, however, creating a product mix to include live/work units, front load and rear load
3 story townhomes, and front load and rear load 2 story town homes along with changes to
the amenities that are currendy proposed. We feel the product mix will create variety in
price and options to welcome a variety of end users. The process of amending the site plan
and revising the recorded plat is estimated to take up to (6) six months therefore we are
requesting a (1) one year time extension to allow for the necessary time to revise and
approve our site plan and plat.
Please note to date, all land development permits for infrastructure and construction
have been obtained with the exception of the Boynton Beach land development permit. .
Reservation fees for Water and Sewer have been paid.
K. Hovnanian Homes has contributed their prorata share to the building of the
common improvements both on and off site for Boynton Village. Approximately 6.8
million dollars will have been spent by K. Hovnanian Homes for their prorated share of the
Site Development Agreement for Boynton Village by the end of 2007. We are and will
