Re: Compliance warning: Restaurant and related activities
FCT project: 08-003-WW1
Sebastian Working Waterfront
Dear. l r. dinner:
Regarding activities taking place at the City of Sebastian Working Waterfront project site(City), the
City's Declaration of Restrictive Covenants requires that all leases and subleases be reviewed and
approved by the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) prior to execution and that all activities on the site
shall be consistent with the approved management plan.
The City's worldng waterfront leases and subleases were executed without the required FCT review
and approval. FCT legal counsel is reviewing the leases now, and it appears some minor changes are
needed. FCT is preparing addenda to the leases,which will need to be executed by the appropriate
parries. In addition, the City's management plan allows limited food service in conjunction N ith the
fish market, and approximately six tables. It does not allow for a restaurant operation,sit-down bar,
Tiki bar or nightly live music which you currently have.
T'lais is a warning notice that the City is in violation of the Declaration of Restrictive Covenants and
the approved management plan. Within 30 days,please provide FCT a plan for corrective actions to
resolve the issues of the restaurant and bar operation and nightly live music. if we do not receive
satisfactory response in 30 days, an official notice of violation will be issued.
if you have any questions, please contact Grant Gelhardt at (850) 245-2669.
Sincerely,
6/41�1
