The Bogland organization endured very difficult financial iiines several years ago and was forced to close their business opera�ions as a restaurant at th.e above Iocation. The property was � financed through a local community driven bank �nown as Anchor Cominercial Bank. � i The requirement to close the restaurant by Bogland left the property a# 187 Tequesta Drive � vacant, attd the property has been mar�eted for sale tlarough the cooperation of Francis Gillespie ! and Anchor Cammercial Bank since March of 2011. The property since being mazketed has i elicited incred�'ble interest and several contracts to purchase the property have been executed since tlie property initially wenf on the marke#. A majority of the conb-acfiing parties �vished to operate , the property as a restaurant, which was the intended use for the property fram the time the Village j af Tequesta Community Deveiopment Department initially approved the Tequesta Oaks Mixed. � Use Project located on Tequesta Drive in the Village. The contracts have atl been terminated and ; the property has remained vacant for almost four years. � ' As the Department is aware, The Village of Tequesta Special Village Council Meeting ; Minutes dated July 2,1996, reveal that the initial approval of the Village l�aks Developmen# was i premised upon the inciusion of the restaurant that was to be located at 187 Tequesta Drive. The I fulfillment of that desire was to be effectuated through the use of parking spaces available not only i on the property, but also through the use of 30 parking spaces iocated on an adjacent property to ; the iestaurant whiah was always part of the original approval. The adjacent spaces are owned by an i enti#y that extended an easement for the use of those spaces to the restaurant property, whom has i recently terminated that easement. � , . i i ; � . 1801 {ndian Road, Suite 100 • West Palm Beach, FL 33409 • Phone:561.b51.4150 • Fax:561.651.4151 � lawyers@TNTlegal.com Satellite Offices: Bonita Springs � Davie • Fort Lauderdale • Miami Lakes • Pembroke Pines • Stuart i . ' The highest and best use for the properry is that of a restaurant, the Village Council respectfully recognized thaf as evidenced by #heir notes froin the meeting approving the project initially. The inaliility to guarantee that use to a prospective bu.yers lias rendered the praperty vacant, arid become responsible for fhe multitude of failed effoxts to sell the prapert.y to prospective bu.siness owners. The property has remained vacant, is currently serving na use to the community and caused great f nancial hardship to fi1�e parties involved. . The Parties involved with this property have gone #hrough painstaking efforts to maintain the praperty and market the propert.y effectively to prospective commercial enterprises, in an effort for the property to once again become a functioning asset to the coznmunity in which it stands. Unfortunately, that goal can not be `realized without the assistance of the Vii�age. A very weli respectec� business owner in a neigtiboring community is ciurently urider contract to purcliase the property, and return the property bacl� to its intended use as a restaurant. The variance curren#ly beirig considered by th'rs committee is a quintessential elemerit to the success of 4his fransaction. It is for that reason, we implore the comrriittee to consider the varia3nce iri relation to tFie realify of this property remaining vacant and offering no benefit to the community and serving only as a deiriment. The Parties invoived in the cun ownsrship to include Anchor Commercial Bank, have tentatively agreed to take a tremendous finanoial loss in order to allow this transaction to be completed. The commitment is presenY from the current ows�er arid the prospective purchaser to make this deal happen. Mr. Gillespie would request that �is Honorable Tribunal approve the requested variance and return this property to its intended and beneficial use. �� ,� r' " r ,', �� J r � r r F � ' �r' .
