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.
