Requirements for Ownership Disclosures Mr. Held referred to the City Attorney’s Office Legal Opinion dated April 24, 2013, and Mr. Stolar’s response dated July 14, 2013. Both the Legal Opinion and the response concern the requirement in the Standard Application Form – Development Review Board Hearing that the Property Owner disclose (among other things) the percentage of ownership of each of the natural persons who are the ultimate owners. Mr. Held made five recommendations, which were adopted by the Board and are as follows: (1) The Board directs Planning Department staff to make no changes in the Property Owner disclosure requirements in the Standard Application Form – Development Review Board Hearing. (2) Mr. Held will make the same recommendation to the other three Land Use Boards (Design Review Board, Historic Preservation Board, and Board of Adjustment). (3) The Board directs Planning Department staff to interpret and apply to all entities, including Florida Land Trusts under Florida Statutes Section 689.071, the requirements of the ownership disclosure section of the Standard Application Form – Development Review Board Hearing, including the requirement to disclose the percentage of ownership of each of the natural persons who are the ultimate owners. (4) Computerized and hard copies of the Legal Opinion will be noted: “Superseded by action of the Land Use Boards.” (5) By email or other correspondence to the Property Owner of 318-334 Lincoln Page 2 of 4 Planning Board After Action Report Meeting Date: July 23, 2013 Road, Mr. Held will advise the substance of these decisions, but with the further advice that they are applicable only to future Applications. By separate email or other correspondence at the same time to the lawyers who comprise the City’s land use bar, Mr. Held will furnish generally the same advice as it is furnishing to the Property Owner.
