Dear Mr. Olt:
RECEIVED
F E B P 2005
CURRENT PLANNING
I was disturbed by your phone call last Thursday, February P. The issues that were cited have
been addressed in previous discussions and are our drawings clearly meet or exceed the 50% test
pending Final Compliance
Issues being advanced by Marc Virata, Number 21 & Number 37, are clearly delineated as items
to be resolved at time of final compliance drawings and have no bearing on an approval hearing.
In the staff meeting of November 22, 2004 Senior Planner, Ted Shepard asked Mr. Virata if the
design met the code and the response was affirmative. Comment number 37 clearly states, that
concern has... "been removed for the time being." For the record, our drawings indicate five (5)
"off street" parking spaces while there is ample room for an additional twelve (12) spaces "on
street" direcily along the Boardwalk frontage of this project. Understanding the intent of the code
we believe we have met and have indeed exceeded guest parking requirements and respectfully
request Mr. Virata to remove his expectations for a re -submittal.
It is our belief that all storm water issues have been resolved and that information has been
communicated to our consultants that we were... "ready for a hearing." Following our meeting of
November 22, 2004 our team met with Glen Schlueter and Basil Hamden and formulated a plan
to verify both the detention issue and the water quality issue. Engineering documentation was
submitted in a meeting December 13, 2004 and has been discussed with Bob Barkeen on
12/16/04 and 12/17/04. Water quality issues are being discussed through Kevin with Storm Water
as an agreement has been negotiated with the Lodge HOA regarding pond maintenance. This
issue should not delay our Type I hearing.
In the staff meeting of 11/22/04 Mr. Shepard stated..."we are ready for hearing..." pending
resolution of storm water issues. A re -submittal would unfairly delay this project weeks if not
months. It is our sincere desire that this project be scheduled for hearing as soon as possible.
I look forviard to your response.
Sincere_1
