<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Similarly, our board puts a deadline of two years in their covenants, when one is provided for surety. If the deadline passes without completion, or an extension request from the developer, most of the covenants
call for an automatic rescission of approval. In those cases, which I haven’t dealt with yet, I would imagine we’d have the developer come back for a definitive plan approval and I’d consult legal on any tricky issues, like zoning changes enacted since the
original approval. Does your subdivision have a covenant recorded?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
