SITE HISTORY:

Historical uses of the property were originally residential, but changed over time to multiple commercial
uses by the 1960s, including a restaurant, church, dry goods store, printing company, karate school,
pawn shop, learning center, dry cleaners, and automotive repair facilities. Parcel 2 is currently operated
by Rollins’ Economy Cleaners and is in the DSCA program; this parcel has been operated and leased for
the past 70 years by various dry cleaners. Parcels 6, 7, and 8 were originally operated by Kings Auto and
have been used for car repair for approximately 60 years. Currently all parcels except for Rollins
Cleaners are vacant. The PD purchased all parcels on December 2016 except for the Rollins Cleaners
site, which PD will purchase once the cleaners have vacated the premises. The future re-use plan is still
being developed, but includes mixed use residential and commercial uses. An estimated $6,500,000 will
be invested in the property.

We are now evaluating Chaucer Investments, LLC, and the subject property for eligibility for entry into
the Brownfields Program. Under the Brownfields Property Reuse Act, only entities that did not cause or
contribute to the contamination at the property are eligible to enter the program. The applicant PD
listed below have asserted that: 1) they have not caused or contributed to the contamination at the
property, and 2) they have substantially complied with laws, regulations, and rules for the protection of
the environment. If you have any information to suggest otherwise, please provide that information to
me at [e-mail] or 919-707-8379 by 2/28/2017.

A Brownfields Agreement (BFA) has no legal effect on your agency's authority to regulate or enforce
against any and all parties who caused or contributed to the contamination at the property. In fact,
the BFA will require the developer to provide access to the property to any party doing work under
any DEQ program.

A BFA provides liability protection only to a non-causative redeveloper of the property. The
developer will be required to make the property safe for its intended re-use. Cleanup to unrestricted
use standards will not be required unless deemed necessary based on the developer's proposed use
of the property. Furthermore, the BFA will not change the developer's responsibility to obtain any
and all DEQ permits (e.g. storm water, sediment control, NPDES, etc.) as required under applicable
law.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,
Sharon
