Re: Proposed Sober House(s), Gulf Stream, Florida
Dear Mr. Thrasher
I hope this letter finds you well,
I have made a decision to form a company to acquire houses in Gulf
Stream for use as Sober Houses. I intend to begin the implementation of
this program forthwith.
I write you this letter to confirm that there would be no approvals or
permits required from the municipality for the use' of a Sober House.
I anxiously await your confirmation; or an explanation as to what
permits and /or approvals are necessary to use a house in Gulf Stream
for a Sober House
Again, I remind you, that it is our intention to move forward in a rapid
fashion. Consequently, we would intend to hold the Town of Gulf Stream
' Of course, this wiuld exclude any required permits for construction and other
impracements.
