Thank you. =20
On the SDEC:=20 this is no longer an '02 play. To keep it as an '03 play three things need= to happen: (1) we need to move our application for an Unusual Use Permit from the juri= sdiction of the Community Zoning Appeals Board ("CZAB") to the Board of Cou= nty Commissioners. The CZAB is a parochial board that is stacked with NIMB= Y's. We have been doing our assessment of the communities and after weeks = of investigation we have concluded that if we go before the CZAB, we feel w= e will be facing sudden death. However, if we go before the County Commiss= ioners, we will have a very good chance of success. The vehicle we propose= to use to change the jurisdiction is something called an Application of Ve= sted Rights. As I understand it, (I'm getting info on this today), this is = a statement that says that a property owner is being prevented from any use= of his property. This application needs to be submitted to the county bef= ore June 6th, the date of our CZAB hearing.=20 (2) we will need to negotiate an arrangement with Dade County Department of= Environmental Resources Management ("DERM") who is responsible for ensurin= g that the land fill be closed. They have been pushing the owner of the pr= operty to initiate the closure work. The land owner, Certrosa Holdings, i= s a single asset company and the sole owner lives in Venezuela. If we wer= e not in the picture, I believe Certrosa Holdings would most likely default= on the obligation to close the landfill leaving the county to clean it up = (at $3 to 4 million). To keep this as an '03 play we will need to get DERM = to agree to post pone the closure proceedings for at least a year and we wi= ll need provide some assurances that if we do exercise the option and get i= n the chain of title that we would assume the obligation to close the landf= ill. We may need to initiate this conversation in the next 2 to 3 weeks. (3) we will need to extend the Option Agreement which expires on September.= The strike price for this property is approximately $1.3 million and we p= aid $200,000 for a 9 month option last October (when the rules were soft co= sts could not exceed 5% of the total project cost of $175 million). Based = on the success of (1) and (2) above, we may need to initiate this discussio= n in the next 2 to 3 weeks as well. On the Medley - Dunn discussions: As you know, when Ann Elizabeth and I left the the Dunns, last month, they = had two deal breakers: (a) they wanted a committment on our part that we wo= uld pay a certain amount of taxes to the town and not go for a tax abatemen= t. (we said the taxes and any arrangement we make with the town would not = involve the Dunns) (b) they wanted us to assume all past and present enviro= nmental liabilities. We said no to both conditions and halted discussions.= I have heard from the real estate agent representing the Dunns that they = are considering giving on both these items. If we structured an arrangemen= t where we did a phase 2 environmental assessment during a 60 to 90 day "du= e diligence" period (rather than in an option period or under a 90 day leas= e), gave both parties the chance to opt out of the deal based on the result= s of the phase 2; and, we change the agreement back to the way it was in th= e last Andrew & Kurth draft which was silent on the issue of historical en= vironmental liability and liability from environmental problems that arise = in the future but are not the result of our operations. Would this arrange= ment give us adequate protection and give us the right to sue if necessary = to have the Dunns or any other responsible party help pay for any clean up?= If this is something we can work with, we need to have a conversation wit= h the Dunn's attorney.
