Dear Ms. Kee:
Thank you once again for'your time on Monday, October 4, 1987 to
meet with me concerning our potential project, the Ramada. Inn.
It was a veryinf.ormative meeting, and will help Byram Properties
make our final decision regarding the feasibility of this
project.
I would like to confirm my notes regarding the meeting with the
following statements on items..we discussed:
Jane Kee' stated that thezoning,andtheoccupancy of this
structure will no~ change from the existing use. She also stated
I will need to obtain a conditional use permit, which she did not
think would be a problem.
Harry Davis and Coy Perry stated that if the occupancy did
not change, then the requirement for the old section of the
project to be'sprinkledwill not apply. Therefore, Byram
Properties need not put sprinklers in the existing structures.
:'Coy Perry stated that if some additional items such as
electrical need to be added ,. they shou ldmeet current codes;
however itis not necessary to update the existing serviceS. For
examp 1 e, .. i fweneed to add <extra ..el ectr i ca 1 ,a 11 . added items need
to .meet. code but it wi 11 not .be a requirement to update other
electrical items that they are tied in to.
- Jane Kee stated that a variance will be needed to meet
parking requirements of one and one half spaces per unit. Jane
updated me on the times and dates to get this done.

Dear Mr. Fe,rrerri :
As per our meeting at the Ramada si teon Thursday, January 27 , 1983, I want to
point out theitemswedlscussed as I recall them. If you disagree with any of
them, please let me know as soon as possible. I feel it is in your best interest
as well as theClty's to finish this project soon.
As I pointed out, the approved site plan" that I had with me that day, shows end
islands'atthe end of each row of parking [nthe lot on Meadowland on Lots 6-12.
These are not there. The drive width around-the ends of those parking rows is
inadequate, being approximately only ten (1'0) feet wide. Typically, this dimen-
sion lsat least twenty (20) feet, The landscaping is i'ncomplete in the linear
islands separating the park lngspa'ce~. The screen fence along the' property 1 i ne
is required by ordinance, and 'is not there. Theentlreparking area should be
curbed. The rear line is not. This-allows traffic to move easily from this
commercial area through the>University residential area, and vice versa. The
approved'p'lan also shows theislandsa.long Meadowland to include the typical
eight (8}footsetback, which they do not appear to include. The dumpster 10-
cation that has been constructed is not on the plan'and'-"nas never been submitted
for consideration.
The buildlngthatwas removed north of the tower changes the plan in that area.
We haveneverre,ceivedarevlsedplan""forconsideration. The other new parking
1 ot on 'Meadowland has beenbui 1 t wjthou~tanyapprovedpl an wh i ch is a vi 01 at ion
of theordinance,TheparkinglotbetweenTexasAvenue and Meadowland which was
approved has never been built. There:are'twootherend'islands near the tower
that have never been built either.
Asl requested, we need a complete revIsed site plan.tobe considered by the
Planning and, ZoningCommisslon. You 'agreed to get that to us. I feel.that
since mos,tof the tower is now' in operation, it is necessary for us to require
that thrs site plan be subm'itted promptly. ,lam setting a deadline of Wednesday,
February 16, 1983,whlch would give us time to get the issue to the Pl'anning and
Zoning Commission,bytheir March 3rd meeting. If it has not been received by
then, we will be forced to take other' action. We would greatly appreciate your
