Property Owner: LMC Verbena Holdings, LLC Recorded in Book ____, Page ____ Associated plat recorded in Plat Book ____, Page ____ NOTICE OF BROWNFIELDS PROPERTY
Brownfields Property Name: Charlotte Van & Storage Co. Brownfields Project Number: 23057-19-060
This documentary component of a Notice of Brownfields Property (“Notice”), as well as the plat component, have been filed this _____ day of __________________, 2021 by Lennar Multifamily Communities, LLC (“Prospective Developer”).
This Notice concerns contaminated property. A copy of this Notice certified by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) is required to be filed in the Register of Deeds’ Office in the county or counties in which the land is located, pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes
(“NCGS”), § 130A-310.35(b). This Notice is required by NCGS § 130A-310.35(a), in order to reduce or eliminate the danger to public health or the environment posed by environmental contamination at a property (“Brownfields Property”) being addressed under the Brownfields Property Reuse
Act of 1997, NCGS § 130A, Article 9, Part 5 (“Act”). Pursuant to NCGS § 130A-310.35(b), the Prospective Developer must file a certified copy of this Notice within 15 days of Prospective Developer’s receipt of DEQ’s approval of the Notice or Prospective Developer’s entry into the Brownfields Agreement required by the
Act, whichever is later. The copy of the Notice certified by DEQ must be recorded in the grantor index under the names of the owners of the land and, if Prospective Developer is not the owner, also under the Prospective Developer’s name. The Brownfields Property consists of three parcels of land totaling approximately 5.7
acres located at 213 Verbena Street, 4607 Gilead Street, and 4615 Gilead Street. The
23057-19-060/Charlotte Van & Storage Co./20210708
2
Brownfields Property is associated with Mecklenburg County parcel numbers 14903412,
14903415, and 14903416, respectively. Lennar Multifamily Communities, LLC intends to redevelop the property for no other uses than high density residential, office, and parking. Historically the Brownfields Property was primarily agricultural with small structures located in the southwestern portion of the property in the late 1930s. From the late 1940s to the
late 1960s, residences were constructed on the southwestern, southern, and northeastern portions of the property. The 4607 Gilead Street parcel contained a residence in the 1960s, but the structure was razed, and the lot has remained undeveloped since the 1970s. In 1969, Charlotte Van & Storage Company constructed a storage/distribution building at 213 Verbena Street and added a service garage in 1974 for maintenance and repairs of their fleet vehicles. An
automotive repair building was constructed in 1972 at 4615 Gilead Street and has been occupied by multiple tenants for automotive repair, paint, and body shop operations since construction, and most recently by Kub’s Auto Upholstery and Quality Auto Painting. Onsite activities have contributed to impacts in soil, groundwater, and soil gas at the Brownfields Property. The Brownfields Agreement between Prospective Developer and DEQ is attached hereto as Exhibit A. It is required by NCGS § 130A-310.32 and sets forth the use that may be made of the Brownfields Property and the measures to be taken to protect public health and the environment. The Brownfields Agreement’s Exhibit 2 consists of one or more data tables reflecting the concentrations of and other information regarding the Brownfields Property’s regulated substances and contaminants. Attached as Exhibit B to this Notice is a reduction, to 8.5 inches x 11 inches, of the survey plat component of this Notice. This plat shows areas designated by DEQ, has been prepared and
certified by a professional land surveyor, meets the requirements of NCGS § 47-30, and complies
with NCGS § 130A-310.35(a)’s requirement that the Notice identify: (1) The location and dimensions of the areas of potential environmental concern with respect to permanently surveyed benchmarks.
(2) The type, location and quantity of regulated substances and contaminants known to
exist on the Brownfields Property. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a legal description of the Brownfields Property that would be sufficient as a description of the property in an instrument of conveyance.
LAND USE RESTRICTIONS NCGS § 130A-310.35(a) also requires that the Notice identify any restrictions on the current and future use of the Brownfields Property that are necessary or useful to maintain the
level of protection appropriate for the designated current or future use of the Brownfields Property
and that are designated in the Brownfields Agreement. The restrictions shall remain in force in perpetuity unless canceled by the Secretary of DEQ (or its successor in function), or his/her

h. Unless otherwise approved by DEQ in writing after results of final grade soil
sampling are received in accordance with subparagraph 12.g, above, no activity that disturbs soil on the Brownfields Property may occur unless and until DEQ states in writing, in advance of the proposed activity, that said activity may occur if carried out along with any measures DEQ deems necessary to ensure the Brownfields Property will be suitable for the uses specified in subparagraph 12.a. above while fully protecting public health and the environment, except:
i. in connection with landscape planting to depths not exceeding 24”;
ii. mowing and pruning of above-ground vegetation;
iii. for repair of underground infrastructure, provided that DEQ shall be given written notice at least seven days in advance of a scheduled repair (if only by email) of any such repair, or in emergency circumstances no later than the next business day, and that any
related assessment and remedial measures required by DEQ shall be taken; and
iv. in connection with work conducted in accordance with a DEQ-approved EMP as outlined above in subparagraph 12.b.
i. Soil may not be removed from, or brought onto, the Brownfields Property without prior sampling and analysis to DEQ’s satisfaction and the written approval of DEQ,

j. No enclosed building may be constructed on the Brownfields Property, and no existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields Property referenced in paragraph 16, below, may be occupied until DEQ determines in writing that:
i. the building is or would be protective of the building’s users and public health from risk of vapor intrusion based on site assessment data, or a site-specific risk assessment approved in writing by DEQ; or
ii. a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) has been:
1. designed to mitigate vapors for subgrade building features in
accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Interstate Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) standards, and that said design shall fully protect public health to the satisfaction of a professional engineer
licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, and shall include a
performance monitoring plan detailing methodologies and schedule, both of which are subject to prior written DEQ approval; and
2. installed and an installation report is submitted for written DEQ approval that includes details on any deviations from the system design, as-built diagrams,

structures in accordance with subparagraph 12.j.ii. above, no occupancy of the Brownfields
Property for the uses defined below in subparagraph 12.a may occur until a work plan for the installation and sampling of a minimum of two soil gas monitoring points for each proposed apartment building is approved by DEQ, and until the first round of sampling activities under the work plan is completed to DEQ’s written satisfaction. The work plan will include, at a minimum, details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of permanent soil
gas monitoring points for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15 within one month after monitoring point installation and then annually.

re-evaluate that risk for areas potentially subject to said risk and to take action to reduce said risk to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses authorized below in subparagraph 12.a while fully protecting public health and the environment.
l. Neither DEQ, nor any party conducting environmental assessment or remediation at the Brownfields Property at the direction of, or pursuant to a permit, order or
agreement issued or entered into by DEQ, may be denied access to the Brownfields Property for purposes of conducting such assessment or remediation, which is to be conducted using reasonable efforts to minimize interference with authorized uses of the Brownfields Property.
m. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well or vapor sample point is damaged by the
owner, its contractors, or its tenants shall be responsible for repair of any such wells to DEQ’s written satisfaction and within a time period acceptable to DEQ, unless compliance with this Land Use Restriction is waived in writing by DEQ in advance.
n. Any deed or other instrument conveying an interest in the Brownfields Property
shall contain the following notice: “This property is subject to the Brownfields Agreement
attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property recorded in the Mecklenburg County land records, Book ____, Page ____.” A copy of any such instrument shall be sent to the persons listed in Section XVII (Notices and Submissions), though financial figures and other confidential information related to the conveyance may be redacted to the extent said redactions

persons listed in Section XVII (Notice and Submissions); or (ii) The owner conveying an interest
may provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in Section XVII.
o. None of the contaminants known to be present in the environmental media at the Brownfields Property, as described in Exhibit 2 of this Agreement and as modified by DEQ
in writing if additional contaminants in excess of applicable standards are discovered at the

i. The Brownfields Property was primarily agricultural dating back to the late 1930s.
ii. From the late 1940s to the late 1960s, residences were
developed on the Brownfields property. iii. In 1969, Charlotte Van & Storage Company constructed a warehouse distribution building at 213 Verbena Street and
added a truck service garage in 1974. The service building at 4615 Gilead Street was constructed in 1972 and has been used for automotive repair, paint, and body shop operations since construction. The residence at 4607 Gilead Street was razed in the 1970s and the parcel has remained vacant land.
iv. Historically, two petroleum underground storage tanks (USTs) were used and subsequently removed from the 213 Verbena Street parcel in 1992. NC DEQ’s UST Section issued a no further action letter in April 1997.
v. Two petroleum above-ground storage tank (AST) release incidents, occurring in 1995 and 2019 are documented at the 213 Verbena Street property. Cleanup records of the 1,300-gallon gasoline release in 1995 are not available. Records of
the 25 to 30-gallon gasoline release in 2019 confirm that remediation activities met the cleanup goals. vi. Recent assessment data indicate elevated chlorinated

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
solvents in groundwater in the north and northwest portion of
the 213 Verbena Street property; the source is unknown but suspected to be off-site.
Current Operations/Activities
i. 213 Verbena Street is occupied by Charlotte Van & Storage
for warehousing and distribution and contains an approximately 37,000 ft2 warehouse/office building and an approximately 6,000 ft2 service garage.
ii. 4607 Gilead Street was formerly a residence but is currently
vacant land. iii. 4615 Gilead Street is unoccupied, but was most recently occupied by Quality Auto Painting and Kub’s Auto Upholstery
in an approximately 7,000 ft2 service building.
All current operations at the Brownfields Property will cease by the recordation date of this Agreement.
Contaminated Media
Soil: The metals arsenic and hexavalent chromium were detected in soil above the NC Residential Preliminary Soil Remediation Goals (PSRGs).
Groundwater: Volatile organic compounds benzene, cis-1,2-dichloroethene, 1,2-dichloropropane, tetrachloroethylene, and trichloroethylene, and the metal chromium were detected above North Carolina 15A NCAC 02L .0202 Groundwater
Standards. Concentrations of 1,2-dichloropropane,
tetrachloroethylene, and trichloroethylene in groundwater exceed the NC Residential Groundwater Vapor Intrusion Screening Level.
Soil Gas: Volatile organic compounds benzene, 1,3-
butadiene, ethylbenzene, and naphthalene were detected in soil gas above the NC Residential Soil Gas Vapor Intrusion Screening Level.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION SUMMARY
the Brownfields Property, and its status was listed as active.
Both properties are served with municipal water. ii. Residential structures, churches, or childcare centers: Three single-family residential structures are upgradient and adjacent to the northeastern corner of the Brownfields
Property. Woodlawn Baptist Church is upgradient and adjacent to the southeastern corner of the Brownfields Property.
Potential offsite migration
pathways
Groundwater: The source of chlorinated solvents in groundwater in the north and northwest portions of the 213 Verbena Street parcel has not been identified but may
originate off-site. Groundwater flow is generally towards an
unnamed tributary of Irwin Creek located west of the Brownfields Property, suggesting migration of groundwater contamination toward property west of the Brownfields Property

j. No enclosed building may be constructed on the Brownfields Property, and no
existing building, defined as those depicted on the plat component of the Notice of Brownfields
Property referenced in paragraph 16, below, may be occupied until DEQ determines in writing
that:
i. the building is or would be protective of the building’s users and public
health from risk of vapor intrusion based on site assessment data, or a site-specific risk
assessment approved in writing by DEQ; or
ii. a vapor intrusion mitigation system (VIMS) has been:
14
Charlotte Van & Storage/23057-19-060/20210708 PC
1. designed to mitigate vapors for subgrade building features in
accordance with the most recent and applicable DWM Vapor Intrusion Guidance, Interstate
Technology & Regulatory Council (ITRC) guidance, and American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)/American Association of Radon Scientists and Technologists (AARST) standards, and
that said design shall fully protect public health to the satisfaction of a professional engineer
licensed in North Carolina, as evidenced by said engineer’s professional seal, and shall include a
performance monitoring plan detailing methodologies and schedule, both of which are subject to
prior written DEQ approval; and
2. installed and an installation report is submitted for written DEQ
approval that includes details on any deviations from the system design, as-built diagrams,
photographs, and a description of the installation with said engineer’s professional seal

k. Unless an active VIMS is implemented for any multi-family residential
structures in accordance with subparagraph 12.j.ii. above, no occupancy of the Brownfields
Property for the uses defined below in subparagraph 12.a may occur until a work plan for the
installation and sampling of a minimum of two soil gas monitoring points for each proposed
apartment building is approved by DEQ, and until the first round of sampling activities under the
work plan is completed to DEQ’s written satisfaction. The work plan will include, at a
minimum, details on schedule and methodology for installation and sampling of permanent soil
gas monitoring points for VOCs by EPA Method TO-15 within one month after monitoring point
installation and then annually. Should the analytical results obtained from the soil gas sampling
15
Charlotte Van & Storage/23057-19-060/20210708 PC
indicate exposures at the Brownfields Property that raise the risk to public health or the
environment associated with the Brownfields Property beyond an acceptable range and in a
manner or to a degree not anticipated in this Agreement, DEQ may require that the then owner(s)
re-evaluate that risk for areas potentially subject to said risk and to take action to reduce said risk
to make the Brownfields Property suitable for the uses authorized below in subparagraph 12.a
while fully protecting public health and the environment.
l. Neither DEQ, nor any party conducting environmental assessment or
remediation at the Brownfields Property at the direction of, or pursuant to a permit, order or
agreement issued or entered into by DEQ, may be denied access to the Brownfields Property for
purposes of conducting such assessment or remediation, which is to be conducted using
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with authorized uses of the Brownfields Property.
m. The owner of any portion of the Brownfields Property where any existing, or
subsequently installed, DEQ-approved monitoring well or vapor sample point is damaged by the
owner, its contractors, or its tenants shall be responsible for repair of any such wells to DEQ’s
written satisfaction and within a time period acceptable to DEQ, unless compliance with this
Land Use Restriction is waived in writing by DEQ in advance.
n. Any deed or other instrument conveying an interest in the Brownfields Property
shall contain the following notice: “This property is subject to the Brownfields Agreement
attached as Exhibit A to the Notice of Brownfields Property recorded in the Mecklenburg County
land records, Book ____, Page ____.” A copy of any such instrument shall be sent to the
persons listed in Section XVII (Notices and Submissions), though financial figures and other
confidential information related to the conveyance may be redacted to the extent said redactions
16
Charlotte Van & Storage/23057-19-060/20210708 PC
comply with the confidentiality and trade secret provisions of the North Carolina Public Records
Law. The owner conveying an interest may use the following mechanisms to comply with the
obligations of this subparagraph: (i) If every lease and rider is identical in form, the owner
conveying an interest may provide DEQ with copies of a form lease or rider evidencing
compliance with this subparagraph, in lieu of sending copies of actual, executed leases, to the
persons listed in Section XVII (Notice and Submissions); or (ii) The owner conveying an interest
may provide abstracts of leases, rather than full copies of said leases, to the persons listed in
Section XVII.
o. None of the contaminants known to be present in the environmental media at
the Brownfields Property, as described in Exhibit 2 of this Agreement and as modified by DEQ
in writing if additional contaminants in excess of applicable standards are discovered at the
Brownfields Property, may be used or stored at the Brownfields Property without the prior
written approval of DEQ, except:
i. in de minimis quantities for cleaning and other routine housekeeping and
maintenance activities;
ii. as fuel or other fluids customarily used in vehicles, landscaping
equipment and emergency generators.
p. During January of each year after the year in which the Notice referenced
below in paragraph 16 is recorded, the owner of any part of the Brownfields Property as of
January 1st of that year shall submit a notarized Land Use Restrictions Update (“LURU”) to
