Mike and I discussed the fact that the plan (if Craig revised it correctly to address the staff comments made from the first submission and review of the plan by the City) could go through City review first and then on to receive environmental comments, Mike felt that Planning had done 3/4 of the work already (prior review) and there was no harm in this, However, he made the point that City approval of the site plan might enhance the Hall's position if a lawsuit arose (a possible "taking" issue) from the environmental review, and this was his concern. (Note: Plans already have been submitted and a fee paid to the City so the review is in progress, However, Craig Livingston did not revise the plans within the required 90 day deadline and this requires a new submission with fee unless the City granted an extension, Craig claimed yesterday that the environmental review required City comments first, and the City, therefore, needed to go forward with the Hall's review process, Otherwise, the City would be intentionally impeding the progress of the site plan. Mike feels, clearly, Craig is playing the City and environmental agencies against each other in this instance,) Tambri was not available this morning and Mike will discuss this in detail with her when she returns regarding going forward with review of the site plans, If the Halls submit today, they will not be able to be placed on the CRAB agenda before May 9th because Mike will not have enough time to receive comments back from staff, write them up, and prepare for the April 11 th meeting, This will put them on the May 17th Commission/CRA Agenda, Mike had advised Janet Hall to pay for a "new" submission (because of the missed deadline) and submit a letter stating that Craig had moved to New York and she was not able to get plans from him within the 90 day time limit to ask for relief from the Commission and refund of the second fee paid, cc: Tambri Heyden, Planning Mike Haag, Planning .ill MAR31- c.A'1I'r PLANNING AND ZONING 0 April 1, 1994 City of Boynton Beach Planning and Zoning Department P. O. Box 310 Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 Attention: J. Scott Miller RE: Lighthouse Grille Dear Mr. Miller: We submitted our Lighthouse Square project in January 1993 and received comments from staff in March of 1993 and paid the application fee of $700.00 at that time. Subsequent to revising our plans, reflecting staff comments, we submitted for a second review in December of 1993. Again, staff requested modification to plans which we have submitted on April 1, 1994. In as much as we have already paid the initial application fee and staff comments regarding the Department of Transportation bridge, pushed completion of our revised drawings past the 90-day time frame, we respectfully request that the second fee be waived. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Respectfully yours, ~~ JH/cmc La~ To: J. Scott Miller, City Manager Date: May 10, 1994 From: Ann Ford Re: Lighthouse Grille / Hall Permit Application Fee Waiver Recommendation Pursuant to our meeting with Janet Hall three weeks ago, please sign below if this memo conforms with your directive. Janet and Wendall Hall paid an initial permit application fee for their Lighthouse Grille Restaurant project. Craig Livingston is the architect for this project, and he moved his practice to New York before completing the site plan review process for this restaurant (for which he was paid in advance), This move caused substantial delays for the Halls in their attempts to obtain Craig Livingston's revised plans to address city statT comments. The result of this delay was their time to respond expired and they were charged an additional fee when they reapplied and submitted the revised plans, At our meeting, you told Janet you would support her request to the Commission for a waiver of the second fee, because the delay was one over which she had no control. f\ ~\ ~~ -; ,- 'JVED ~'~. ..; ~~_~ .J....

Scott Miller, City Manager City of Boynton Beach P.O, Box 310 Boynton Beach, FL 33425 Re: Lighthouse Grille Dear Mr. Miller: We submitted our Lighthouse Square project for permits in January of 1993 and received staff comments in March of 1993 , We paid the application fee when we initially submitted the plans, Our architect, Craig Livingston, moved to New York and was difficult to reach for modifications to the plans required by staff comments. We were substantially delayed due to an inability to obtain the revised plans from Craig to resubmit, This resulted in an expiration of the time period allowed, and I was told to pay a second application fee for the review of the modified plans and to being the process once more, I would like to request your recommendation to the City Commission to waive the second fee I was required to pay to the city, It was not within my control to get the modified plans to them at an earlier date, Thank you for your help with this.
