Subject: SPIN #8 Meeting Inquiry - 1600 E. Southlake Boulevard
Hi Matt,
received a call from Grissel Abreu (973-692-0222) regarding a project they have at 1600 E.
Southlake Boulevard. Attached is a drawing of what they intend to do. According to Ms. Abreu,
currently there is one portal and entrance and they are proposing two portals and entrances, one for
Thomasville and one for the other tenant.
have provided Ms. Abreu with your phone number and she should be calling you to discuss the
project.
SPIN Representatives are asked to speak with the applicant and then make a recommendation as to
whether or not a SPIN meeting is necessary. This recommendation must be emailed to me so that
we have a record of the recommendation for the case file. A simple email referencing the project and
then indicating your recommendation is sufficient.
As this is your first meeting inquiry since your appointment to SPIN, I wanted to point out a section in
the SPIN Meeting Guidelines (a hard copy was provided to you in your manual at the last meeting)
that you may consider before making your recommendation. Also, if you have questions, feel free to
contact me or another member of SPIN for guidance.
3.4 Step 4: Review of Meeting Requests — The decision to recommend a SPIN
meeting to discuss and review a particular issue is at the discretion of the SPIN
Neighborhood Representative who shall consider these Project Consideration
Guidelines:
3.4.1 Circumstances where a meeting may be recommended is generally
measured by the amount of visual impact or change in use it will have on the
existing character of a property and would include the following:
3.4.1.1 Zoning changes and major site, concept or development
plans
3.4.1.2 Where new development is proposed (i.e. new building
construction, new residential homes, new streets/infrastructure, etc.);
or
3.4.1.3 Where the character of existing development is dramatically
changed, either visually or by use (i.e. major fagade changes to an
existing building or a zoning change to add a use to an existing
development); or
3.4.1.4 Where the property is residentially adjacent and/or located
along a major corridor such as Southlake Blvd or SH 114.
3.4.1.5 Specific use permits where the use may have considerable
impact on adjacent properties
3.4.1.6 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
3.4.1.7 Ordinances
3.4.2 Circumstances where a meeting may not be necessary include:
3.4.2.1 Plats, for their legal limitations on timing and fact that zoning
and/or development plan will reflect the same design as the plat
3.4.2.2 Minor site plans where changes are being made to existing
structures
One item that is not mentioned in the guidelines is signage — SPIN meetings are not held for signage
issues.

your recommendation and meeting request form returned) are:
