What are they up to now? What properties do they want to trade or exchange, and for what are they gaining?
"Applicant requests extension of certain deadlines relating to certain transfers between the parties, the sale and re-acquisition of certain properties, and other related matters."
This is a red flag for the City of San Ramon. The City and Sunset Development company are both the joint owners and joint applicants of this project. What kind of funny business is going on with the City and Sunset of skirting having to pay property taxes, and ownership rights?
The city has already given back (thorough a cost of living repurchase agreement) a portion of land to Sunset Development. Sunset has a number of sweetheart deals for selling land to the City, with the option to buy it back for just a cost of living increase at any time into the future. Wow, talk about Sunset not being the owner on legal record, not having to pay property taxes, and yet totally control what goes on with the properties. If Sunset doesn't like the direction that the City is headed, they get to buy the properties back.
It sounds like Sunset and the City want to extend these Sunset Development repurchasing rights out longer.
Who controls the City of San Ramon? Open your eyes, is it the City or Sunset Development that pulls the strings on the puppet?
