Re: Request for Waiver, or Reduction,of Application Fee
Hannah's Home of South Florida Inc. ("Hannah's Home") is a registered non-profit
organization that provides support and education to women in crisis, founded in 2002. As such,
Hannah's Home provides substautial benefit to the public. Hannah's House is developing the
current site, located at 4390 County Line Road,Tequesta,with the addition of a storage structure
and has requested a revision of the phasing timeline for the construcdon of the structure per the
Master Site Plan approved by the Planning and Zoning Advisory Board on September 19,2003.
Hannah's Home has been informed by the Community Development Department that a$500
application fee will be chazged for this revision to the phasing timeline.
Pursuant to the Village of Tequesta Code of Ordinances,Appendix D, Section 11,the
Village Council may grant a request to waive,or reduce,the fees associated with a development
application when extenuating circumstances exist,on a case-by-case basis. In tlus case,the
applicant,Hannah's Home,is a nonprofit organization registered with the State of Florida and
the use of the development is charitable and will provide a substantial benefit to the public. Any
funds paid towards a request for a revision to the phasing timeline will be taken from funds that
could be used for providing support to women in need. Accordingly,Carol Beresford,on behalf
of Hannah's Home,respectfully requests a waiver of the application fee. Alternatively, if the
Village Council denies this request for a waiver of the application fees,we respectfully request a
reduction in the amount of the application fee,to be determined by the Village Council.
Thank you for your consideration.
Carol Beresford,Founder
Hannah's Home of South orida, Inc.
