HERE complex final permit hinges on punch list and fees
The robotic system maker went bankrupt and a valet garage could not meet building demand. To ease shortages HERE built two new parking lots, the first requiring two houses demolished and the second tied to Fambrough Drive realignment. Twenty one bedrooms could not be leased until the second lot. Scott McCullough, city Planning Director, said the second jet was finished and a temporary occupancy was issued for all remaining units earlier this month. Final permit requires completing punch list items such as a handrail, pavement markings, crosswalks on Mississippi Street and storm grate replacement. Reimbursement for inspection fees, estimated at 36000, is needed before final permit issuance.
