Attachments:	Phase II Approval Extension 11-29-12.pdf

Hello Jean ‑ Steve Long forwarded me your email regarding the status of final changes to the subdivision plat for the Fore‑India‑Middle "Jordan's Phase II" development.  I wanted to make sure you knew that Fore India Middle, LLC sold the development site to Chatham Portland DT LLC (an affiliate of Chatham Lodging Trust, a major national hotel owner/operator) as part of the sale of the adjacent Hampton Inn.

Chatham is now in control of the destiny of the approved development.  However, I feel fairly confident in saying that Chatham would probably not want to finalize and/or record the subdivision plat at this time, especially if the approval extension through August 2014 is valid without doing so at this time.  Could you confirm whether there is any requirement under the ordinance that the subdivision plan be finalized at this time?

I am forwarding this to Erik Kentoff, in‑house counsel for Chatham, who would have final say in any determination as to how to proceed, but given my personal knowledge of the proposed development please keep me in the loop too, as I think I can be helpful to both the City and Chatham in relation to the development approvals.

Best regards,
Greg

I don't believe I ever received pdf's of the final versions of the 2 sheets of the plat (for 203 Fore St‑  former Jordan's site) with all agreed revisions incorporated.

I need to print copies for the files‑  could you send me the final pdf's please?

Thank you
Jean

Hi Jean ‑ No problem in concept, but I think a more appropriate wording will be as follows: "The Condominium Documents of the India Middle Fore Condominium shall set forth procedures and requirements for compliance with the TDM Plan in accordance with the 8.14.2012 Planning Board conditions of approval."

If all agree, I will ask Steve to make the change and then we can finalize the plan.

Steve,

I am writing to confirm that the Subdivision Plat SO1 Plan that you sent with the e‑mail (copy attached) is satisfactory to the Department of Public Services in respect of surveying issues.

I only just noticed that the fourth subdivision condition of the Planning Board has not been quoted (approval letter attached for reference) and I can see why, but I think the second sentence of note 15 should read (new phrase underlined): "The Condominium Documents of the India Middle Fore Condominium and the 8.14.2012 Planning Board condition of approval shall set forth procedures and requirements for compliance with the TDM Plan"  ‑  as that condition is substantive.

thank you
Jean

Attached please find the revised Subdivision Plat. The plan has been revised, per the comments below, as noted in red.

Please review and let me know if there are any further comments before I print the mylar

Thanks

Greg

The Planning Board's letter of approval for the Phase II project at  Fore/India/Middle included the following condition:

i.             That the Subdivision Plat shall be finalized to the satisfaction of the Planning Authority, Department of Public Services and Corporation Counsel and include references to the office and retail floorspace maximums and the use of office space for ancillary residential space, street trees, Condominium Association documents and relevant conditions; and

I am writing to confirm that the Plat (SO1 and SO2) submitted to address this condition is satisfactory, subject to the following additions and revisions to SO1:

Additions:   The Planning Authority requests that a box (or heading) entitled "Planning Board Conditions of Approval" be added that includes the actual condition in number "subdivision" v. re Stormwater System Maintenance requirements ‑  to my knowledge, this is always included in plats (the approval letter is attached for reference).  Also please revise Note 16 to refer to "Transportation (not traffic) Management Plan".  A Planning Board Conditions of Approval  block with the Stormwater System Maintenance requirements has been added. Note 16 now refers to "Transportation Management Plan".
 "
Revisions:    DPS Surveying Division requests the following revisions to SO1 (see attached red markups on the Plat):

1.  Need to set all property corners. Property corners, to be set, have been added to the plan as per the Plat markup.

 2. Need chord bearing and distance along Fore Street curve so the plan can be checked for mathematical closure.  The  chord bearing and distance along  the  Fore Street curve  has been added.

3. State the Horizontal Datum used.  The Horizontal Datum used is Maine State Plane Grid, West Zone 1802, NAD83 in US survey feet and a note stating this has been added.

4. State which Official City of Portland Benchmark used.  No topographic information is shown on the plan, therefore the benchmark information has been removed.

5.  Need to show State Plane Coordinates for the four major property corners.  West corner at Middle St., north corner at Middle St. and India St.,  east corner at India St. and Fore St., and south corner at Fore St.  The State Plane Coordinates have been added.

6. Need to show Registry Deed Book/Page for the 30 foot easement to the City of Portland.  A reference for the easement of CCRD Bk 27742 Pg 26 has been added to the plan.

7.  Elevation of hydrant flange bolt near corner of Middle St. and India St.  Elev = 30.08'.  The hydrant may have been altered.  A recent plan for the Bay House Project shows an elevation of 29.61'.   No topographic information is shown on the plan, therefore the benchmark information has been removed.

8.  Needs the Seal of a Professional Land Surveyor.  Matthew Ek, PLS will be stamping the final mylar.

The Planning Board can sign the final Plat on Oct 9th or Oct 23rd (also Nov 13th but note that is outside the 90 day window re this project's waivers).

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you

Jean
