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.
Sincerely,
Todd

Todd
Thanks again for speaking to me yesterday. 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

Todd
My name is Joey Posey and I’m one of the attorneys at Glenn Storch’s
office in Daytona Beach. 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.
Thanks
