BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Since 2008, Resmark Equity Partners, LLC, (who purchased the property from William
Lyon Homes, Inc., as successor in interest) has been responsible for compliance with
the terms of the Development Agreement, Residential Planned Development Permit No.
1999-02 and Tract Map 5187, for the Meridian Hills project, located off of Meridian Hills
Drive, west of Walnut Canyon Road. Resmark has partnered with TRI Pointe Homes,
LLC (TPH), a home builder based in Irvine, to construct 66 single family homes, on 66
of the 183 remaining vacant lots. Rick Bianchi, as representative for TPH, filed the
Modification No. 1 to Residential Planned Development (RPD) Permit No. 1999-02
application on May 21, 2013.
On November 6, 2013, a public hearing on the requested Modification No. 1 to RPD
Permit No. 1999-02 occurred before the City Council. During the applicants' rebuttal
period prior to the close of the public hearing, Rick Bianchi, the applicant, requested
clarification from staff, asking if the current RPD 1999-02 permit allows using the seven
original approved floor plans for construction of homes on the remaining 183 vacant lots
within Tract 5187. Staff clarified that yes, there are seven approved house plans that
are on file with the current RPD permit, but there have been building code updates that

Dear Joe,
At City Council on November 6th,the subject application was noticed, presented by staff for the City
Council and residents that were in attendance. At the end of the public hearing,Rick Bianchi withdrew
our application from consideration. As requested,this letter is to confirm that action.
Over the next several weeks,Resmark will consider their alternatives and come back to staff with a
proposed course of action. You will recall that we confirmed that night that except for structural code
changes,the originally approved units can be built in the community.
Thank you for your hard work on this application and we look forward to meeting with you soon to
discuss the future build out of Meridian Hills.
Do not hesitate to contact me directly should you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Mike McMillen
Vice President
