Project Review
Weak Project Management by CDC
Evolved versus master plan
Failure to obtain advance regulatory approvals
Including permits, zoning, fire, environmental
Failure to confirm property lines and easements
Inconsistent management oversight
Issues surfaced from the 1999 decisions
What appeared simple became very complex

How Did We Respond?
We remained part of the solution, consistent in our requirements with Varadero interests the priority:
Property
Security
Liability
Privacy
Safety
Required and monitored corrective action on CDC violations, however identified
Sought legal advice when appropriate
Thorough coordination with ALL players
Help from our neighbors in and around Varadero
Three phases to the project…
