RIU amended plans approved
Thursday, 21 August 2008
The St. James Parish Council has approved amended building plans submitted by the developers of the RIU Hotel located at Mahoe Bay three months after the developers were served with a stop notice and instructed to demolish the hotel's fourth floor.

After months of controversy, the developers have made changes to the building plans of the multi-billion dollar hotel.

It is reported that the amendments are in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Parish Council and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

Members were informed at Wednesday's Council meeting that all other buildings on the property that were above the recommended height were modified.

According to letters read at the meeting, the National Environment and Planning Agency and the CAA have completed inspections of the property.

Mayor of Montego Bay, Councillor Charles Sinclair who was upset at what he described as the developers' disregard for building regulations said the Council will continue to monitor the development to ensure full compliance.

In April, the developers of RIU found themselves in trouble after it was discovered that some buildings on the property were constructed above the height recommended by the CAA.

It was later revealed that the building plans were not approved by the St. James Parish Council.

B<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">e careful don't follow idiots and comment without overstanding</span>. The Observer Newspaper is nothing but a mouthpiece for Butch <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">The Oligarch </span>Stewart who would not have turned against the PNP were it not for the Spanish Hotel Invasion.

If the so-called Journalist who wrote the piece had done the proper investigation he/she/it would have discovered that the Hotel failed a height requirement not a bar against the number of floors. It is almost a standard practice throughout the civilized world that the remedy (or part of the remedy) is to submit a revised set of for consideration by the sanctioning body. In this case the hotel revised its building plans keeping the same design but within the proper building height.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">Whether or not the lawyer is connected to the JLP </span>is neither here nor there providing that the rules and regulations are adhered to by his/her Client. The hypocrite who advanced this argument should then tell us why K.D. Knight, John Juniour, Churchill Neita, etc should’ve been allowed to represent clients against the Government formed by a Party they are members of.
This is kind of dishonest argument that hangs around this BB like a <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black'">stinking cloud</span> for over a decade and wont leave.

I had noticed the conflict of interest previously, but even the dishonest can be truthful (if you see what I mean).

...agreed but the Observer have been carrying on this fight a long time even while their boss was himself in hot water over destructive practices, not only that the article is just not factual, little or no research was done!
