Council unanimously approves Reliant Homes' permit extension until March 31, 2027
Summary
Council approved a permanent extension for Reliant Homes' land-disturbance permit to 03/31/2027 after staff said the company sought the date to avoid winter grading and erosion risks; the vote was unanimous among members present.
Council voted to approve a permanent land-disturbance permit extension requested by Reliant Homes, allowing the developer to shift major clearing and grading work into drier months. Joe read the developer's written request, saying "Our current permit is set to expire August 2026" and that Reliant sought an extension to "03/31/2027" to avoid erosion and winter clearing.
Council members asked detailed questions about the cause of delays, including two freight/stream crossings that required U.S. Army Corps permits and several redesigns. Staff and the applicant said the issues stemmed from required stream-crossing permits and reengineering designs to avoid wetland mitigation credits. The motion to approve the Reliant Homes permanent extension passed unanimously among members present; the council recorded a unanimous voice vote after discussion and a request that staff provide meeting minutes or memoranda of project coordination to the council.
Staff noted a fee applies to the requested extension (Joe read that there is a fee "$100 plus 25% of the permit cost") and said the applicant understood the cost. Council thanked the developer for attending and asked staff to circulate meeting notes and to follow up on the project schedule so the city can track progress.
