Our association has met with Mr. Paul Kite and his representatives on two occasions and we have been kept abreast of the progress of the project for the past five months. We are fully supportive of the rezone application and the specific project that has been proposed for the property.

Overall, Mr. Kite and his representatives have been exceedingly cooperative in addressing the wishes of the Association and we welcome the project to the area. Very truly yours, David E.
