Looks good. Time to schedule an owners meeting to inform them, change declaration and vote on a board.

Outside meeting to be subject to not more than 25, meet under canopy, bring your chair.

I am eager to put this to rest. Thanks.

Subject: RE: [External] Summit at Gateway

Zachary:

I am sending this email as a follow‐up to my voice mail I left you on Wednesday, Aug. 12th, 2020. Thank you for sending 
the Declarations/Bylaws for Summit at Gateway development for our review. I have bookmarked/highlighted text in the 
attached copy of the Declarations for added ease of reference. The document, starting on page 46, does meet the 
provisions put forth in paragraph 29 of the recorded Agreement by including the statement classifying the property as 
being cleaned‐up under a Brownfields Agreement. However, in section 11 of “Exhibit D” attached to the Declarations, 
additional clarification may be warranted to show how the owners and/or association are to comply with the recorded 
Notice/Agreement, in particular the annual certifications. Restrictions listed in the recorded Notice allows another entity 
to perform the annual certifications. Here’s an excerpt from Land Use Restrictions 16:

“…. Alternatively, the obligations of this subparagraph may be discharged on behalf of some or all owners by a
party that satisfies DEQ it is validly acting as agent for said owners, and that accepts responsibility for compliance
with this subparagraph pursuant to a notarized instrument satisfactory to DEQ.”

Although the Declaration gives notice of the Brownfields Agreement, there are no provisions regarding the responsibility 
for complying with the Notice/Agreement. To that end, I am providing the following link to an example amendment to 
declarations for another Brownfields property having a townhome ownership community structure: 
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WasteManagement/DocView.aspx?id=1357812&dbid=0&repo=WasteManagement&s
earchid=49f1c13b-496b-4a3f-ad7c-eb95aa076d5e The example document clearly defines the rights, obligations and 
authority of the association governing the development with respect to their Brownfields Notice/Agreement. Summit at 
Gateway should have similar provisions added to their Declarations/bylaws for clarification.

Additionally, deeds conveying the 1111 S. Marshall Street units from Summit Property Holdings, LLC do not contain the 
statement as required and referenced in paragraph 29 of the Gateway Agreement (same as mentioned above). All deeds 
granted by Summit Property Holdings, LLC should be corrected to include the following specific statement – “The 
property which is the subject of this instrument is subject to the Brownfields Agreement attached as Exhibit A to the 
Notice of Brownfields Property recorded in the Forsyth County land records, Book 2555, Page 2587.” 

Here are a few current deeds that do not contain the statement:
Skydragon deed
Parkinson deed
Stevens deed
Schroeder deed

To correct these issues and to  comply with the recorded Notice/Agreement, Summit Property Holdings LLC and Summit 
Condominium @ Gateway Owners Association, Inc will correct all deeds missing the required statement per North 
Carolina General Statutes 130A‐310.35(d), as well as record a supplemental clarification to the provided recorded 
Declarations needed to show that the Associaiton will have authority to submit the annual certifiactions (LURU) on 
behalf of all unit owners. A draft version of any supplemental declaration can be submitted to us for review prior to 
recordation. Copies of corrected deeds should also be supplied as proof of compliance with the reocrded 
Notice/Agreement and State statutue.   

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss in further detail the issues decribed in this email. We look 
forward to helping resolve this issues as quickly as possible. 

Sincerely,

David
