Ruby Apartments Project Update 20150115

Don Macsparran has provided the following update on the Ruby Apartments proposal:

Folks,

I spoke with the City (Dave Bugher) this morning--NO date has been set yet for the hearing for the Design Review Appeal filed by the HOA on January 2nd. They expect a response soon from the hearing examiner. (cold and flu season)

Also:

1. An arborist (I think that's what he is) was on the Ruby site yesterday afternoon surveying and marking trees in relation to the survey markers putin the ground last week to mark the perimeter of the proposed buildings, etc.
2. The contractor's (JR Sampson) license still shows as suspended by L and I as his insurance expired on 1/1/15.
3. Lawsuit update posted with Superior Court: on 1/13/15 (Tuesday) CONFIRMATION OF JOINDER OF PARTIES, CLAIMS AND DEFENSES; which in legal terms means the lawsuit has passed the preliminary stages, with issues clearly laid out, with one side asserting the truth of each point, and the other side asserting the falsity; as well as identifying all identified parties.

Thanks,

Don
