We

are

committed

to

working

with

the

Ci ty,

as

the

landlord,

and

the

Historic

Preservation/

Des ign

Review Board

staff and the Joint Boards

to

quickly

develop

an

appropriate

set

of

plans

for the

replacement

of

the

R o y a l

Palm

Hotel.

As

wehave

explained

in

our

various

meetings

wth

you

and other

Ci ty

officials,

the

fact

that

this

condition was

not

fully

revealed until

the

interior

demolition of

the

Royal

Palm had

substantially

progressed

has created

significant

timng

problems

for

RDP.

The

contractor

is

progressing

with

site

work

and the

already

approved partial

demolition

of

the

eastern

most

addition

to the

Royal

Palm

at the

current

time. Under the

expected

construction

schedule, the

contractor

is

due

to

begin staging

site

excavation

followed

by

for

installation

of

pi l ings

and

foundation

on

the site

beginning

in

the

first week

of

November.

Unfo r tuna te l y ,

the structural

engineers

have advised that

if

additional

work

in undertaken

on the

site which causes

s ign i f ican t

vibration

either

wthin

the

R o y a l

Palm

Hotel

structure

and/

or

in the areas

immediately surrounding

it

that

the

existing

hotel

structure

could

fail.

Moreover,

assumng

that the

existing Royal

Palm

structure must be

demolished

we

would

need

to undertake

that

demolition

work

before

we

stage

the

installation

of

piling

and

foundation work on the

site

so

that

there

is not

a conflict

between

those two

operations.

If

we

are

to

avoid

truly

s ign i f icant d e l a y

in the

construction

of this

pro jec t ,

we

would

need

authorization for the

demolition

of the

R o y a l

Palm

Hotel

structure

by

October

30

9 9 8

which

is
