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
e xt
Fr iday.
