It looks like residents of Davidson will have to wait a little longer to see how the Town will respond to the lawsuit seeking to reverse the approval for the Griffith Street hotel.
According to information obtained by aShortChronicle, the Town asked for another extension before replying to the claims brought by residents near the project on Griffith Street. This latest request which was granted goes until April 12th.
The developer's attorney did respond last week however - submitting a 156 page document, all but 15 pages of which are appendices containing copies of various documents, mostly meeting minutes. In the core 15 pages of the response, the developer effectively denies the claims that there was anything wrong with the process. As one might expect, the developer response was the equivalent of saying move along, nothing to see here.
It is interesting to note that the response from the developer denies the claims that anything was done wrong procedurally, but then does not actually specifically address the details of the various claims made by the plaintiffs. How that will play out at upcoming hearings will be interesting to watch.
Hearing dates are currently set over the next two weeks to hear various motions. It is unclear at this point if the lack of a response from the Town until April 12th will cause any delays in these hearings.
Check back next week for more updates as they become available.
