Joshua,We have asked for a very simple (and common) request for a zoning confirmation letter from
Lincoln County planning for our Publix shopping center in Denver. I am not sure if your additional
requests is warranted to provide a letter of zoning confirmation. It is coming off to me as blackmail,
which I take highly offensive. Let me know if you do not intend to provide the letter today.

Good afternoon,
We are looking to verify that all state requirements for storm water are being met on the
site and that the storm water ponds are in compliance. If we can obtain something in
writing to that effect, we can issue the zoning letter back to Mr. Priester.
Thanks,

Joshua,
The pond is in the middle of being completely redone and synthetic liner is being
installed. Construction is underway with it. See attached progress pictures from a couple
of weeks ago. The weather has to corporate with us to finish. We expect to be finished in
about 3 weeks. NCDEQ is aware of what we are doing. Let me know any additional
questions.

Jay,
I'm in receipt of your message regarding the zoning letter request. Can you provide an
update regarding the storm water pond that is managed by a permit with the state?The
latest communication I believe we had seen here in the office was from NCDEQ
Mooresville Regional Office who needed to conduct an inspection to determine if there
were any leaks or malfunctions of the pond(s) on site.

Do you have any written communication from NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office from the
results of that inspection? I think we could use to that help get you the zoning letter.
Thanks,

Joshua,
I hope all is well. We are refinancing our Publix Shopping Center, Cambridge Village,and the lender
has requested a zoning letter confirming the parcel is in compliance with the zoning. It is parcel
PIN 4602631955. Is this something you can provide?
Thank you!
