SVIC Quarterly Update

We hope this message finds you and your families in good health. We are delighted to share the latest updates from the past quarter and the overall year-end spending with our esteemed SVIC community.

Grading Permit Application:
We submitted the grading permit application in March 2023 and received feedback from the county planner in August 2023. Responding promptly, we submitted our replies in December 2023. We anticipate one more round of comments before, InshaAllah, securing our permits.

Building Permits:
For the storage and maintenance building permit applied in August 2023, we received comments in November 2023. Our architect is collaborating with engineers to formulate responses. The questions raised are similar to those in the Grading Permit comments. We anticipate a quicker turnaround and, InshaAllah, will submit replies as soon as possible.
