Got a strange letter: should I be concerned?

**The AD** · 12-15-2006, 01:54 PM

No, nothing all that exciting or interesting, just strange. I got a letter in the mail yesterday from the City of Seattle Dept. of Planning and Development. I opened it and it's a letter telling me my construction application has been approved. The thing is I don't have a construction project! I looked up the project number and found out this is a 109 unit apartment complex. WTF?

I called them up and they looked at their records and can find nothing with my name on it. They just told me to disregard the letter since it doesn't apply to me. Well, that's fine, but how the hell did my name get associated with this in the first place? I've never even filed a building permit of any kind with the city.

Anyone have any ideas on this?

start digging!

Start taking deposits on units...use your letter as proof of your plan!

1) Make sure someone hasn't sniped your identity.
2) Start building.

Be careful

**Tippster** · 12-15-2006, 02:21 PM

Build it and they will come.

**Hutch** · 12-15-2006, 02:22 PM

might as well make the top floor into a revolving bar/restaurant while you're at it.

I call dibs on atleast one of these future units.

"Does the name Jasper Lamar Crabbe mean anything to you?"

Start doing what Trump is doing in Chicago atm: sell pieces of air for a lot of cash

**The AD** · 12-15-2006, 02:33 PM

According to the plan the bottom floor is retail space. I've already got a call in to Starbucks because I'm sure the area the complex is going into needs another one

The Seattle Department of Building and Development merged with the Sex Offender Registration Office and some of their files got mixed up?

No problem until the workers show up and start demoing your place.

Good one, but how about a Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles?

What about opening a satelite restaurant of the best Jewish-Mongolian delicatessian around?

I'd also suggest opening a Seattle location of Jose Bernstein's, but I couldn't find a good picture of the place...

You MUST inforce a manditory open container policy on the grounds

**rideit** · 12-15-2006, 06:37 PM

Nudity optional, but possibly enforceable by group vote.

**skinny_kid** · 12-15-2006, 06:43 PM

Well of course doood

Your building plans are in the basement, in a locked cabinet,in a disused lavatory, marked with a sign, "Beware of the leopard."

The planning department is never wrong, the bulldozers will arrive in the mourning.
