BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Brent A. Cross, Building Commissioner
312 Cayuga Heights Road
As you can see from the attached (on back) letter, the owner's of the above referenced
property have requested a refund of their zoning/building permit fee. Although I have
invested an about an hour of time in the issuance of the permit(s), no follow-up
inspections were performed since the work was never started. Therefore, I recommend
that we grant a full refund of the fee as requested.
Suggested Motion:
The Board of Trustees hereby instructs the Village Clerk to issue a check in the amount
of $600 to Danyel Logevall as a refund (in-full) oi fees paid for a zoning/building permit,
dated 611105, on a project that has been abandoned before the workwls started.

Dear Village Officers,
IVIy name is Danyel Logevall and my husband and I, along with our two young children,
live in the village at31,2 Cayuga Heights Road.
On June 1,20A5 we applied for, and were granted, a brriiding permit (#80531 - see
attached copy) to put an addition on our house. It would have increased the living space
ofthe house by about 900 square feet.
We solicited bids from two contractors. Both wanted actual working plans in order to be
able to give us an accurate bid. We worked with a local architect, Vince Mulcahy, and
had the plans drawn up and approved by Brent Cross.
Since receiving the bids, however, we've decided we simply cannot put such an amount
of money into the project. We have only lived irr the area for about 1 year and were
perhaps a bit naive about what such a project would cost.
Thereforeo we've opted to abandon the project altogether and are requesting a refund of,
the $600.00 that we spent on the building permit. We understand the amount of effort it
takes to get the necessary paperwork and apologize for the inconvenience to the Board
and to Mr. Cross.
Thank you for your time.
Si4.cerely, n I
