Update on Ruby Apartments 20140929

The following information regarding the Ruby Apartments Contractor, J. R. Sampson & Company, was received September 29, 2014 from Don MacSparran, who has been watching the issue closely:

"...I just checked the Labor and Industries website (https://secure.lni.wa.gov/verify/Detail.aspx?UBI=603077596&LIC=JRSAMSC890C4&SAW=). It shows his license was suspended on September 27, 2014 as he does not meet current L & I licensing requirements (his bond expired). I'm waiting for Dave Bugher to respond to determine if there are any repercussions which may possibly delay or nullify SEPA, building permits, vesting etc. The HOA attorney should review probably be made aware of this information.

 

I did speak with Dave Bugher at 2:00 pm today. He provided an update on the SEPA and design plan review progress. He expects the City's review and determination on both around October 10th.

 

There is no City Council meeting this week, but there is a City Planning Advisory Council meeting on Wednesday at 6:30 pm. This is the meeting the PAB should vote on the rezoning of the Ruby property. I will attend this meeting.

 

There is also hearing in Superior Court, Dept 12, Room 217A, Judge Arend on Oct 3 @ 9:00 AM (14-2-12055-4) Cedar Grove Organics Recycling vs JR Sampson Co for a $4,962.26 claim. I'm planning on attending if they'll let me in--it should be public.

Cheers,

Don..."
