Additional improvements include support buildings, realignments of North Breakers Row, golf course changes, as well as landscape and hardscape modifications. These improvements are generally located where there is an existing surface parking lot and a golf course within the designated Landmarked vista from the original hotel building to South County Road. The application requires the approval of a separate resolution to modify the PUD and variance approval to be reviewed by Town Council.
Where does the Code allow a PUD such as The Breakers to trade residential unit footage and convert it to commercial use? this building is increasing intensity, expanding a 'club' which has no special exception to permit it. The compliance with the code and the Comp Plan for PUDs must meet the design standards in sec. 134-686 through 134.6-691.Have you reviewed the application based on the standards? Is the massive underground garage, 3-story building with bridge really in harmony with what exists? NO it does not. Before LPC opines, it should be made clear that any of these changes to a PUD are legally permitted.
