Subject: Ossi Development, Inc. - Chris Lambertson
Good afternoon Mayor Reeves:
I represent Ossi Development, Inc. I understand Chris Lambertson has
inquired about current houses being built by Ossi Development in
Atlantic Beach and has made specific complaints about the brick facade
installed at 1144 East Coast Drive. As you may know, the attached
Administrative Deviation was properly issued for this approximate 3 inch
encroachment. This matter should now be concluded as far as the City is
concerned as the variance was properly issued. If the administrative
variance had not been granted, replacing the existing brick with stucco
or another less attractive facade would have cost Ossi approximately
$30,000. This very circumstance is the reason for the administrative
variance process.
With regard to any complaints made by Mr. Lambertson, the City should
know that Mr. Lambertson has tried to keep a $50,000 deposit made by
Ossi Development on a purchase agreement for another parcel within the
Atlantic Beach country club despite Mr. Lambertson not being able to
provide clear title on the parcel being purchased. The parties are
currently in litigation with regard to the entitlement of that deposit.
Ossi Development has invested over $10,000,000 in real estate in
Atlantic Beach within the last several years and has enjoyed a great
partnership with the City of Atlantic Beach. We certainly hope that the
spiteful and self serving complaints made by Mr. Lambertson do not
damage Ossi’s working relationship with the City of Atlantic Beach.
Also, this email shall serve as a public records request, pursuant to
Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, for any and all emails, letters and
communications between Mr. Lambertson and i) Mayor Reeves; or ii) any
employee of the City of Atlantic Beach during the calendar year 2016.
Electronic delivery is acceptable. Thank you.
