RE: ADDISON, L.L.C. — Brownfields Letter of Intent
Dear Bruce and Harry:
We are writing on behalf of Addison, L.L.C. ("ADDISON"), a limited liability company which
we intend to form and through which we would like to participate in the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR") Brownfield program with respect
to a proposed project in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are writing to formally notify you of our
intent to seek consideration for the Brownfield program.
We have entered into a contract to acquire a 1.136 acre tract of land with 20,400 square feet of
improvements located at 1310 West Morehead Street in Charlotte ("Site"). We are currently in
the "inspection period" stage of the contract and intend to assign the contract to Addison, which
will ultimately purchase the Site and serve as the prospective developer. A U.S.G.S.
topographical map showing the location of the Site is attached to this letter as Exhibit 1 and a
plat survey of the Site is attached as Exhibit 2. The Site is currently owned by EC Griffith & Co.
and has been vacant since 1996. The facility was built in 1941 and housed a trailer
manufacturing operation until 1946. The use of the facility changed to a motor equipment repair
shop until 1960. From 1961 until 1975 there were several motor repair businesses, but there are
no specifics describing what kind of repair facility operated out of the building. From 1975 until
1987 the building was used as a metal fabrication shop. The building sat vacant until 1993,
when the site was used as an automobile repair garage until 1996.

As part of our due diligence in preparing to purchase the Site, Mr. Phillips and myself contracted
with S&ME to do soil borings and geoprobes to evaluate the soil and ground water on the Site.
We had three (3) geoprobes drilled to approximately 37 feet below the surface and one (1) hand
auger boring drilled approximately five feet below the surface. GP-2 contained trichloroethene
("TCE") of 58 ug/L and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate or "BEHP" of 35 ug/L which are both above
NCDENR standards. We have enclosed a copy of S & ME's report for your review.
Mr. Phillips had discovered through his own due diligence that TCE had also been discovered on
an adjacent site, which would be side gradient to the subject Site. The level of TCE was
measured at 5 ug/L. With this information we contacted S&ME for advice. S&ME proposed
drilling two more geoprobes to ascertain if the contamination was originating on or off site.
Geoprobe four and five were conducted and there was no TCE or BEHP located, but chloroform
was found at 24 ug/L in GP-4 and 9.6 ug/L in GP-5. Based on the ground water quality data and
the anticipated groundwater flow direction (southeast), the results of the additional ground water
analysis from GP-4 and GP-5 do not suggest an off -site source for TCE and BEHP detected in
GP-2. Concentrations of chloroform in GP-4 and GP-5 suggest that the chloroform may be from
an off -site source. We have also enclosed a copy of this additional data.
Addison plans to redevelop the Site. Our plans for redeveloping the site include razing the metal
building expansion and adding on to the main brick structure. Depending on market demand we
will build a two-story office building expansion (15,000 — 20,000 s.f.) or add onto our existing
structure (after the metal building has been razed) with approximately 10,000 square feet for a
total of approximately 22,000 square feet, which would be utilized for retail space. We, along
with Tom Griffin at Parker, Poe, Adams & Bernstein, are the contact people for the project. The
relevant contact information is as follows:

Addison's planned redevelopment of the Site will benefit the surrounding community by helping
to revitalize an older, underutilized area of Charlotte. It will expand the City of Charlotte's tax
base, create job opportunities, provide access to additional services to the community and
eliminate fire hazards associated with rubbish stored in the facility and health hazards associated
with rodents and mosquitoes. The community would benefit from the office space by virtue of
new jobs being created in what was a vacant building and the office workers spending money in
the new nearby restaurants as well as dry cleaners, ectera. The retail development will also create
new jobs from a vacant building and bring services into an office redevelopment area as well as
bring service uses into the neighborhood for the Wesley Heights residents to enjoy. The project
has, in fact, received enthusiastic support from the community, as illustrated by the letters
attached as Exhibit 3.
Mr. Phillips and myself currently work for Carter & Associates a full service commercial real
estate firm. Our combined experience exceeds 18 years in the business and both of us have been
involved in over 1,500,000 square feet of commercial development. We have enclosed resumes
for your review. Our legal counsel is Mr. Tom Griffin of Parker, Poe, Adams & Bernstein.
Additionally, Addison is committed to complying with all procedural requirements of the
Brownfield program. As set forth in the affidavit attached as Exhibit 4, neither us individually
nor Addison are responsible for any of the contamination present at the Site, and we represent
that we have substantially complied with all remediation requirements and all Federal and state
laws, regulations and rules related to the protection of the environment.
We and Addison are looking forward to working with the State to redevelop the Site, and we
appreciate your consideration of our project for the Brownfields program. Please let us know if
you need anything further at this point.
Very truly yours,
Carter & Associates

Re: 1310 West Morehead Street
Charlotte, North Carolina
Dear Lamarr:
As president of Wesley Heights Community Association, a non-profit corporation made
up of the residents of Wesley Heights neighborhood, I am writing to offer my support and
the support of Wesley Heights Community to the development of the above -described
property.
As a community, we have labored intensely over the last ten years to reclaim this
neighborhood and make it a desirable place to live. While we have made substantial
stride in reclaiming the inner portion of our neighborhood, the edges are still fragile. I
have worked with the City of Charlotte Planning Department and community
stakeholders to develop a plan for the edges that make up the corridor bordering our
neighborhod. The proposed plans in the letter of intent is consistent with that plan as
well as with the desires of the residents of Wesley Heights. It is also consistent with our
philosophy that "we do not have to move to live in a `good' neighborhood".
We fully support this effort to help make Wesley Heights a "good" neighborhood.
Very truly yours,
Shirley L. Ft . ton
President
Wesley Heights Community Association

Given the plans you described for the site, I believe your efforts will dramatically
improve the neighborhood and reflect the goals of the West Morehead. Corridor District

RE: 1310 West Morehead Street
Charlotte, NC
Dear Mr. Phillips,
As you know I am in the late stages of designing a large speculative office building
directly across from your property. When the subject property is redeveloped it will
represent another brick in the wall of progress to dramatically change this old industrial
corridor.
Based upon our conversation, the keystone of your redevelopment effort is to gain
acceptance into the Brownfields Program. Without that acceptance, yet another building
remains dilapidated offering nothing to the economic viability of the neighborhood and
the city. I strongly support your efforts to redevelop and enthusiastically encourage
NCDENR to consider this application in a positive light.
Sincerely,
M aides
