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.
