Ruby Apartments Project Update 20150609


On June 9, 2015, I passed on to the Oakbrook Townhouses Board the following communication of Don MacSparran:

"...Folks,

I spoke with the City this morning--the apartments will NOT be built! The building permit applications have expired, and with that, so have the vesting rights by JR Sampson to build multi-family housing. The single family R-3 zoning applies to future development. A letter explaining this is being written by the City to send to the developer as I write this. I'm not sure how this impacts the appeal that is currently in process by the developer, but to me it seems like he may be spitting into the wind.

So, it appears we have prevailed, although I'll hold my jubilation until the Ruby parcel is developed with single family homes or a park.

Cheers,

Don..."
