Re: Bailey Office Center (TM 61, Parcel 1278) - letter of revision
Dear Mr. Van der Linde:
The purpose of this letter is to confirm what we discussed by telephone last week. With
this letter, I am approving a minor revision to the approved site plan to delete the
planning island and tree shown as part of the adjoining parcel (parcel 128). 1 am also
stating our agreement to delay civil penalty enforcement action. I will address these
more fully in the proceeding.
The Bailey Office Center site plan amendment approved on 9/21/89 shows two planting
islands which are not currently installed onsite. The planting island and landscaping on
the corner of the front of the building at Rio Road must be installed. This is the same
island that was discussed at the Planning Commission on January 17, 2006. You have
stated to me that you fully intend to comply with this site plan requirement and are
making arrangements to have it installed within the next month or so. You will be
sending us a letter stating your expected completion date. Based on your agreement to
comply on a specific and near date, we will withhold any further enforcement action
such as the imposition of civil penalties. Please submit your letter to us by March 1S'
The other planting island on that same approved site plan amendment will not be
required. This island is at the rear of the site on parcel 128. We will not require the
installation of this planting island for the following reasons:
1. It is on property owned by others-,
2. It does not appear to be necessary for the functioning of the parking area and
the absence of the island does not appear to create a safety issue;
3. When this was discussed at the Planning Commission meeting, they did not
state that it should be required.

For all these reasons, I am hereby approving a letter of revision for the site plan dated
9/21/89 to delete the planting island in the rear of the site.

Director of Current Development
