Based on my conferences with my client you are authorized to extend the current ninety day
negotiation period for an additional ninety days. You aze also authorized to set the ten yeaz vesting
ordinance for December 7`h. Finally, as we discussed our compromised offer is that instead of a ten year
vesting with a prohibition against demolition for three years, my client would accept a ten yeaz vesting
period with a three yeaz restriction against demolition, so long as Howard Vaughan is alive. In the event
of Howard's death, the three yeaz restriction against demolition would terminate.
Please contact me with any questions or comments.
Very Truly Yours,
GATES, KNEZEVICH, GARDENSWARTZ & KELLY, P.C.
