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.
