Re: Aaker Phase 1 Subdivision
Concurrent Construction Request
Please accept this letter as a request for concurrent construction of Subdivision infrastructure
and building improvements on Lot 1 of Block 1, Lot 1 of Block 2, and Lot 1 of Block 3 of Aaker
Phase 1 Subdivision (“Subdivision”) as shown on the attached Concurrent Construction Plan.
As currently proposed, the Subdivision consists of a stand-alone project with 5 lots platted for
development. West University, LLC will begin construction of the Subdivision infrastructure as
soon as practical after engineering approvals have been obtained, but infrastructure is unlikely
to be complete prior to Final Plat. It is anticipated that a portion of the Subdivision
infrastructure will be financially guaranteed prior to Final Plat through an Improvements
Agreement.
As soon as possible after Final Plat, West University, LLC is planning on developing three lots
(Lot 1 Block 1, Lot 1 Block 2, and Lot 1 Block 3) in the northern portion of the Subdivision. To
facilitate building permit reviews on these lots, concurrent construction of Subdivision and
building improvements is requested. By the time of building permit approval, it is very likely
that Subdivision infrastructure construction will be well underway.
West University, LLC understands the need for functional Subdivision infrastructure to support
construction activities and commits to the following Concurrent Construction Plan. Subdivision
streets will be improved to a gravel surface and fire hydrants activated prior to vertical
construction on the residential lots. Access to the entire Subdivision will be closed to the public
until Subdivision infrastructure is complete. Subdivision infrastructure and park improvements
will be complete and accepted by the City prior to occupancy of any structure on the
concurrent construction lots.
Prior to the Final Plat application, the concurrent construction request will be supported by the
following project specific conditions and standard conditions per UDC 38.270.30 D and
stipulated in the Subdivision Improvements Agreement.
1. The Subdivision and concurrent construction site projects will be under control of a
single entity, West University, LLC, with a single general contractor for both subdivision
and site construction. There will be no third-party builders until subdivision
infrastructure is complete and accepted by the City.

2. Subdivision infrastructure plans will be approved and financially guaranteed prior to the
Final Plat and any concurrent construction Building Permit issuance.
3. Subdivision streets will be improved to gravel surfacing and fire hydrants will be
activated prior vertical construction on the concurrent construction lots. Access to the
entire Subdivision will be closed to the public until Subdivision infrastructure is
complete. Subdivision infrastructure and park improvements will be complete and
accepted by the City prior to occupancy of any structure on the concurrent construction
lots.
4. West University, LLC will provide insurance, risk acknowledgement, and indemnification
in a form acceptable to the City prior to Final Plat and/or Building Permit issuance.
Please let us know if there are any additional conditions required to enable concurrent
Subdivision infrastructure and residentially zoned building construction.
Sincerely,
Barry Brown
