R- 07-0289: Sifhstci at rlModificioion to Special Exception (Reso1u iou ) Dear Ms. Fernandez: This law firm represents Camillus House, Inc. ("Camillus") regarding the above -referenced matter. On May 24, 2007, the City Commission approved the Resolution granting Camillus House a substantial modification to its previous Special Exception approval_ Camillus requests a one year extension of time based on a number of factors which have delayed Camillus' ability to obtain a building permit. The subject property ("Property") is part of an Exchange Agreement between the State of Florida and the University of Miami ("UM"). The Property is comprised of two parcels: The western portion, or Glass House parcel, is owned by UM and the eastern portion, or the FDOT South parcel, is owned by FDOT. When the Exchange Agreement is complete, both parcels will be owned by the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida ("BOT"). The Department of Children and Families ("DCF") will lease the Property from BOT, and Camillus will have a sub -lease on the Property from DCF. The required joinders from UM and FDOT consenting to this request are attached. The State of Florida, UM and Camillus have diligently worked towards closing on the Exchange Agreement during the past year. Nearly all title issues have been resolved and the parties hope to close in the next several months. Once Camillus obtains its sublease, it will be able to proceed with obtaining the required building permit. In anticipation of this occurring, Camillus has continued to proceed with the required architectural and other consultant work in order to apply for the building permit as soot: as possible after obtaining the sublease. We therefore request a one year extension of time for the Resolution. aritiago D.
