David, JVCC Further to your suggestion about a possible sale of your property, let me know what number works for you. We can quickly decide if we would want to factor that into the planning that we’re otherwise doing. If it works, great. If it’s too rich then we will simply work on our plans for a repurposing of our property while being sure to keep you and the HOA informed. I really appreciate your return call. Let’s keep in touch. P.S. – I return from well deserved time off on 7/30 but, I will be monitoring email and texts periodically while gone. Real Estate Loans at the Speed of Business!

I think I gave you the courtesy last week of setting the date and time for a short meet & greet. Please let me know if you can find 30 mins this week to connect either on site or anywhere of your choice. Additional notes as follows: Purpose for the preliminary meet & greet is: o You can meet me and I can meet you and Kristen. I’m a believer in personal rapport. o I can bring you up to speed briefly on our sob story. – Not that we’re asking for any special favors but, we’re transparent and you will learn about some of the constraints we’re wrestling with. They are relevant from a design development perspective. o I can listen. Specifically, your preliminary input will be factored into our design development. – I prefer not to put pen to paper without first getting fundamental input from the neighborhood. Otherwise, we can end up having to make major modifications to concepts that invest a lot of time into developing needlessly (if they are not ultimately endorsable for the neighborhood). Our architect is not able to generate sufficient exhibits in time for us to make your August 17th agenda. They would have to come up with concepts, I would have to bless them and in both cases, we have no specific feedback from you and other neighbors yet. With that in mind, can I kindly ask you to pull us from the August 17th agenda, assuming we were on one? Since we will not have advanced the ball far enough with neighborhood stakeholders by late August, we will either withdraw our variance request with the city or request a continuance on September 12th. We will not pursue any variance without sufficiently engaging neighborhood stakeholders. O.k., there’s a short update. Please circle back with a meeting date that works for you and Kristen when you can, please. All the best, 7 ITEM8/47 JVCC <image001.png> Real Estate Loans at the Speed of Business!

Obviously, the more we hear directly from you and neighbors, the better we can produce a project that adds value to the neighborhood. – A goal that is important to me as I’m sure it is to you.
