This is a request for an extension on a deed of subdivision for 45 South Springfield Avenue, block 1402, lot six. Good evening, Mr. Hail. How are you? >> Good evening, Madam Chairwoman and board members. Thank you so much for coming out this evening on St. Patrick's Day.
Uh but uh yes, this is uh we were before the board as you recall uh and received minor subdivision approval and site plan approval for the uh subdivision of the the old parochial school at St. James Church. You know, the uh and we did have
the representative uh and we're going to be closing at some point soon with the Winston school so they can renovate that school and make it a school for special needs uh children. So, uh, under the the law, and I'm sure C able council can
explain, when you do a minor subdivision, you must record the subdivision deed within 190 days. Uh, this was delayed somewhat. A lot of times a minor subdivision is just a house. You have two lots. It's a little more complicated because we had to deal with D issues which impact slightly the
subdivision lines and took a little while for EKA to get us the descriptions. We now have the descriptions. the deed has been provided to the to the board and also we provided there Mike had a couple of questions on
the description. We've made those revisions and the deed is now here and available to sign. We hope to record it as soon as possible. So, uh we appreciate the board entertaining us and looking forward to uh this project moving forward recording the deed and then the transfer of the property and
and the site improvements not only for the Winston School but for St. James Church. Okay. Thank you. Are there any questions from members of the board? >> You want to add to it? >> Um I I will only say that the statute
does um allow this extension at the discretion of the board. Um I think Mr. Help through your letter you're requesting 60 days extension. >> Yeah. Does it go retro? Let me just see.
>> It would run from the original >> Yeah. >> deadline of February 25th. >> Yeah, that expired on February 25th. So, even 60 days from that, February 25th is fine. I'm sure it'll be much less because we now have the deed signed and just have to get together with the the
church and I think I might need a signature of the arch dascese. >> Okay. So, >> 60 days is adequate. >> Sure. Yeah. If not, we'll be back, but I hope not. >> Um, okay. So, if we're in favor of
granting the 60-day extension, I'll uh entertain a motion. >> Motion to grant ahead. >> Motion to grant extension. >> Vice Chair Cunningham. >> Yes. >> Sorry, >> Mr. Hawking. Yes,
>> Mr. Wexeen. >> Yes, >> Mr. Fersenbound. >> Yes, >> Miss Napano. >> Yes, >> Mr. Shewitz. >> Yes. >> And Chair Cow. >> Yes. >> Motion. >> Thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> Um, Madam Secretary, I think did you did
