So, they obtained a 3‐yr permit 6/2019, which went to 6/2022. Then they obtained a 1‐yr extension to 6/2023. Now they’re asking for another 3 years?? So that would be 7 years of permits, at minimum?! Why would the city allow someone to take that long to build, and allow a 3‐year extension, when the owners have done nothing to show that they are moving forward in good faith, and with intent to complete the project on time? Rick knows…he’s been there countless times. They have not be progressing on the house, since June of 2020, when they almost burned it (along with our home, and the Sizemore’s home) down. Why are they being allowed to request a 3‐year extension when they haven’t done anything for the past 3+ years?

Why would the city allow such a massive 36 month extension? Newport is going to let the developer take 7+ years to build a house in one of the most heavily trafficked areas in the entire city? How about a 6‐12 month extension request and see if they actually do any work (no one has been there doing work for 6 months…and prior to that it was over a year). Years of rotted siding, trash in the yard, overgrown plants, vagrants trespassing on the unkempt property, a serious construction fire, mudslides, view blockage and general eyesore to everyone who happens to be in the vicinity…what have the owners done to earn respect and get the city to entertain such an extension? I thought there were consequences for taking too long to build a home in Newport. It sure doesn’t appear that way. Without question, their inability to complete the project is due to their incompetence and unprofessionalism…not due to lack of time. We will be at the public meeting next week to voice our concerns.

Curiously, was the permit reissuance due to inactivity or a change in contractor/design professional?

Hearing Officer - May 24, 2023 Item No. 1b Additional Materials Received Three-Year Construction Limit Extension 3235 Ocean Boulevard X2018-0411 4 The 3-Year expiration date is from the initial permit issuance date for a project. It carries over to any subsequent permit issued for the project; it does not change. The hearing on 5/24 is for extension of the 3-Year expiration date. The permit reissuance is for when a permit expires due to being more than 180 days of inactivity (not having a qualified inspection) or when there is a change in contractor/design professional. I hope this answers your question.

Looking at the permit records I noticed that Permit XR2023-0602 was issued on March 3, 2023. I can not see the copy of the permit but the description says that it "replaces expired permit X2018-0411." Did their original permit already expire and did the City issue a replacement permit? If so, what is the hearing for on May 24, 2023 if the City has already issued them a permit?

Mr. Jurjis, It has now been another month since your last email and there has been little or no activity on 3235 Ocean Boulevard. Your last email said that there was to be a hearing on an extension for the project. Would you please provide the date, time and location for this hearing.
