(the “Applicant”), we submit this updated Letter of Intent in support of the pending Planned Unit Development (“PUD”) overlay application for the Property pursuant to Sec. 23-18 of the Town Code. As you are aware, the Town Council has already approved the PUD overlay at first reading. This updated submission is provided at staff’s request to clarify certain operational aspects of the project and to supplement the record in advance of final consideration. The purpose of the PUD remains unchanged. As previously presented, the request implements the path discussed with Town staff to resolve the remaining issue preventing issuance of a final Certificate of Occupancy, namely, recognition and regulation of the below-grade parking garage. The PUD establishes a site-specific framework that accommodates the existing conditions while ensuring compliance with the Town Code, the Florida Building Code, and applicable FEMA requirements. April 30, 2026 Page 2 KAYE BENDER REMBAUM, P.L. Updated Operational Clarification – Parking and Valet Services. The Applicant confirms that the Property will provide on-site valet parking services. Residents will not self-park their vehicles. Instead, all parking operations will be handled exclusively by a third-party valet service provider. This approach ensures controlled access, efficient circulation within the garage, and minimizes any potential impacts on surrounding areas. This clarification does not increase the intensity of use, alter traffic patterns in any material way, or create additional parking demand. Rather, it formalizes the operational structure for parking management consistent with the existing design and intended function of the Property. The Applicant is also proceeding with obtaining the required business tax receipt for the valet operations through the Town. Confirmation of Prior Submittal Elements. All other aspects of the application remain as previously submitted and presented to the Town Council at first reading, including: - The limited office/administrative suite (approximately 36.25 square feet) utilized for onsite management, leasing, and resident-serving functions. - The designation of the below-grade garage as a non-habitable, accessory parking component subject to floodproofing and operational safeguards. - The absence of any high-impact commercial uses, late-night activity, or external impacts. - The overall PUD framework, conditions, and public benefit findings outlined in the original Letter of Intent. Conclusion. This updated Letter of Intent is submitted to address staff’s requested clarification and to support the application as it proceeds toward final approval. We appreciate the Town’s continued cooperation and look forward to finalizing this matter. Very truly yours, Very truly yours, /Jeffrey D. Green/ JEFFREY D. GREEN, ESQ.
