See below.Anything to speed this up will help.
Nicole maybe Cheri can make this determination for your City)should only be making sure all the reports and
documents are submitted per your application.We need get it out and published for public and agency comments,
which will delay another 30 60 days,while the City’s internal departments do their review,if they want.
We should not have to wait for Nicole to go through each of the reports that now total over a 1,000 pages)to make
sure they are again,to her satisfaction”.This is what bogs the system down.Final design will take care of the details,
entitlement will kill the financing if we cant get our project approved in a timely manner.
Remember we submitted this in November.The new reports are only a different packaging of the EXACT same
project!We could be grading by now if we only had a Jerry Hermann again….
Anyway,we appreciate any thing you can do.
Thanks,

response to the incompleteness letter but wanted to touch base to make sure you have everything.

Chris,
We have reviewed the materials submitted,and have the following questions or comments:
1. There are two copies of the Hydrology Study in the MP2019 0004 folder,labeled differently.Please let me know
which is correct,and which I should delete.Both are the same current document.Let’s keep the one titled
2553 Preliminary Hydrology Report 2020 03 30”and delete the other.
2. Please provide,in the MP2019 0004 folder,a copy of the draft Coral Canyon Specific Plan in Word.Word file has
now been uploaded to Trakit.
3. It is Urban Crossroads’practice to provide a response to comments letter when amending their reports.If they
or any of the other sub consultants provided such letters,please email them to me as opposed to uploading
them to Trakit).It will make our second review of technical studies much more time and cost efficient.Nicole
Vann from our office just sent over earlier in separate email.
We have initiated our second review of the application for completeness,and will send our determination
when it is complete.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Nicole,
I received 26 emails for uploads to the Master Project for the Wave.The transmittal that is included in them,however,
does not provide a list of the documents that are supposed to be there.Please provide a list of what documents are
included in the upload,so that I am sure of what has been provided.
