Commission reaffirms Reading School District plan; staff to obtain letter of credit and finish signatures
Summary
The commission reaffirmed the Reading School District’s plan (Reading Knight/Thomas Ford project), clearing the way for plan signatures once the district provides the required letter of credit and signed documents; staff noted a 10% city inspection line item in the cost estimate.
The Reading Planning Commission on Feb. 25 reaffirmed the Reading School District’s plan for the Thomas Ford / Reading Knight Accelerated Academy (hydroponics center referenced in the filing) and instructed staff to coordinate signature execution and submission of the required letter of credit so recorded plans and permits can be released.
Aristides, an applicant representative, said the draft agreements reviewed by the district’s attorney were returned to city staff on Dec. 11 and that the contractors are ready to begin work within weeks; contractors’ permit applications are reportedly pending final plan approval and recorded agreements. Staff confirmed the city had approved the cost estimate and that the estimate includes an inspection fee typically represented as 10% of the improvements estimate; that inspection amount is expected to be covered through the improvements agreement and the city inspection arrangement.
Commissioners moved and approved reaffirmation of the Reading School District plan; staff instructed the district contact and project manager to provide the signed agreements and the letter of credit for the approved amount. Once staff receives executed agreements and the letter of credit, the commissioner signatures and plan recording can proceed and permit releases can follow.
