January 31, 2008 George Mensah Assistant Director City of Miami Department of Community Development 444 SW 2noAvenue Miami, Florida 33130 Dear Mr. Mensah: V/e have received you letter dated January 10, 2008 reference our agreement with the City of Miami for the construction of a 7 unit building. in the letter you mentioned that we are going to be in default of our executed agreement since we will not complete the building by April 30, 2008 as agreed. You are correct. We will not complete construction by April 30, 2008. We are requesting that the City grant us an extension through December 31, 2008 to complete the construction of the building. Attach please find the revised Development Schedule completing the project by December 31, 2008 - As we explained to our Contract Compliance Analyst, Dollifa Pinkhasov, the Architect for this building was selected by the City of Miami not Miami Dream Homes. When we applied for funding to the City we had prepare the building design and we were working on the elevation and other pian work. The Loan Committee approved this project with a condition that an elevator be installed since it was going to be an "Elderly building". After the Loan Committee approved the project the City of Miami hired Arcon Engineering. We provided all of our design work as well as any other work we had completed to Arcon Engineering. The City paid 100% of the fees directly to the Architect m.-iking it very hard for us to request faster turn around as well as quality of work. These plans have been going to the City for more than a year. Two months ago the Zoning Department advised us that we had to apply for a Class II permit since the building was in a special district. We have completed the Class Ii permit and supplied the City with all the information. 220 N W 130th Avcnut Momi, FL 33182 LKenseG b insured Phone: 786-281-5972 Fax, 305698-643!
