Hello Wes,
Thanks for the update. Understand your timing decision.
There are a couple of optíons:
oPTtoN #¡.
Would you prefer to WITHDRAW the permit application and have it shown in the public record as VOIDED now?
Here's the ímpact: the plan check fee is paid and expended with the initial review, you will owe no buildíng permit fee
for the VOIDED permit, but in future when you do decide to proceed you should expect to submít a new building permit
applícatíon, plans, new plan review fee as one would a new buílding applícation). This, potentially, could be preferred
option for any property ovvner thinking of movÍng and selling their property soon, whereby an OPEN OR PENDING and
incomplete file doesn't show up when a buyer is searchíng property records. The record shows a little cleaner wíth less
hanging over.
oPTtoN #2
Would you like the building application to remain ON HOLD for a period up to six months (to December 220221where I
would keep the project in my workflow queue as PENDING?
Here's the lmpact: if during the next 6 months you decíded to move ahead, you can remit the changes or corrections to
the building plans, I would review and approve them, and the permit would be issued..... whereby you would have a
further 6 months before scheduling your first inspection. Option 2 would gíve you some opportunity to change your
mind. lF in December you confirm you will not proceed you can eíther email an update asking the project be
WITHDRAWN at that time.... Or you just let it expire and lapse when staff would update the record as EXPIRED or
VOIDED out due to lack of activity.
Let me know how you would like to proceed, and l'll take care of it,

Colleen,
Sorry for the delayed response. My wife and I have decided to postpone the garage project for the time being.
Thank you
