Future plans for Jimmy Buffett’s old recording studio on Lazy Way in Key West.
________________________________

I. THE PROPOSERS
Spottswood Management, Inc. ("SMI") is a Florida corporation and affiliate of Spottswood Companies, Inc. (collectively, "SCI"), a diversified, family-owned organization with investments in real estate, restaurants, timesharing, marinas, hospitality, construction, broadcasting, and banking in the Florida Keys. ..... Robert A. Spottswood, Jr. serves as President and is part of the seventh generation of the Spottswood family in Key West.

Shrimpboat Sound Key West LLC is a Nevada LLC managed by David A. Bernsen, whose Republica de Conch LLC currently owns several properties in Old Town Key West.

This proposal has the full support and active participation of Mac McAnally, Savannah Buffett (Jimmy's eldest daughter), Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown, Lucy Buffett (Jimmy's sister), and the Coral Re**er Band. II. PROPOSED USE Our joint vision combines a working recording studio and museum honoring Jimmy Buffett's legacy with a bar featuring margaritas and tropical drinks along with a memorabilia retail and ticketing center.

The integrated concept includes:
1. Working Recording Studio: Restore the historic studio to operational status with modernized update (that was planned after Jimmy’s last recording session) to carry the studio forward. We have secured commitments from renowned artists including Mac McAnally, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, and the Coral Re**er Band.
2. Museum and Tours: Offer affordable tours showcasing the studio restored to Jimmy Buffett's era with today’s technology, featuring his actual equipment, instruments, and memorabilia, with private and experiential recording opportunities available.
3. Margarita and Tropical Drink Bar: A bar operation showcasing Key West's music, arts, and fishing history with limited indoor seating and outdoor seating for up to 20 persons.
4. Retail and Memorabilia Sales: Unique merchandise, Jimmy Buffett lifestyle themed art, and Coral Re**er Band memorabilia.
5. Live Entertainment: Live broadcasts, streaming, podcasts, and musical performances featuring participating artists (with proper permits).
6. Venue for Hire and Charitable Events: Utilize the space for private events, weddings, functions, and approved charitable and fundraising events.
We note that this concept has been initially approved and supported Margaritaville Enterprises to ensure proper and legal use of the Buffet name at the Studio on Lazy Way Lane.
