HomeMy WebLinkAboutFW Holiday Inn Hotel Sewer Line Route (25)Joey, The City currently has secured easements (and there is a sewer line in the easement) from Lift Station No. 6 up to the south side of the Pindziak property. The Homewood Suites Hotel (LBA) currently utilizes this sewer line. LBA is under contract to obtain the Pindziak property. Our intention is to condition the site plan approval of the LBA hotel to require an additional easement across the Pindziak property up to the Port property south of our project. I’ve made some corrections to the map. See below. To your other questions: Do we know when the City will receive the easement across the Pindziak property? No, as mentioned earlier, the preliminary steps are contingent upon parties/dealings outside of City control. Will the City provide an indication/no objection in writing to assure the Port about the proposed sewer route? We can provide a letter that the route depicted in green below is the route the City supports. In the event the Pindziak easement isn’t obtained by the City, what are the potential options? Your client is free to obtain other paths to sewer that do not require City easements. I want to stress a reminder note: Staff cannot approve less than a 150-room hotel and we cannot be certain less than 150 rooms would be approved. 150 rooms are required per City Code section 110-627. Developments that are inconsistent may be approved pursuant to a planned development (PD) approved by the City Council on a case-by-case basis (below) . * Sec. 110-627. - Project size. * (1) All uses within a project shall be sized to provide sufficient building setback and to encourage a pedestrian-oriented environment. a. All uses shall have a minimum lot size consistent with the area required to meet the building setback, lot coverage and development standards of the underlying zoning district. b. There shall be no minimum lot size for hotel development within the District. However, there shall be a minimum of 150 units that must be constructed at the same time. c. Building setback, lot coverage and developments that are inconsistent with these requirements may be approved pursuant to a planned development (PD) approved by the city council on a case-by-case basis.

I appreciate that both you and David want to work with us to get our client’s project up and running. That being said, I ran our discussion and the proposed route by our client and engineers, and I believe they are on board for making the Lift Station No. 6 (Imperial Dr.) route a reality. If I understood you correctly yesterday, the City currently has secured easements from Lift Station No. 6 up to the Pindziak property and will be obtaining an additional easement across the Pindziak property up to the Port property south of our project. The attached map is my best attempt at trying to depict the situation. Please feel free to correct me if something I wrote is not correct. Also, I foresee a couple of potential issues that we probably need to discuss. First, do you know when the City will receive the easement across the Pindziak property? As you can image, our client is under a lot of pressure to show Holiday Inn progress with the project. Any certainty you can provide would be appreciated. Second, will the City give us an indication/no objection in writing to assure the Port about the proposed sewer route? Getting something in writing will allow us to finalize our agreement with the Port. Obviously the route will have contingencies and the Port doesn’t expect an outright approval but I’m sure they want to avoid surprises. Third, in the event the Pindziak easement isn’t obtained by the City, what are the potential options? I would think that the RaceTrac route is the logical second choice, and as I mentioned over the phone, our client is willing to construct, absorb the cost of construction and dedicate the route to the City. Your thoughts are welcome and I’m happy to discuss further. Thanks again Joey A. Joseph Posey, Esquire Glenn D. Storch, P.A. 420 S.

I believe Glenn met with you and the other Cape folks a while back to discuss the Holiday Inn development. I thought everyone was on the same page until I received a forwarded email today from Laila Witwicky regarding the Cape’s position on the sewer line for the project. I was hoping to discuss the issues you mentioned since I think there was some confusion about what the Port Authority wanted in terms of assurance. I tried to leave a message on your voicemail but the machine cut me off while I was explaining why I called. Anyways, we want to work with you guys so please let me know a good time to chat.
