Hi Duree,
I can't believe that I still haven't been able to get down to Florida. Best laid plans to return to Cape Canaveral at
the end of February have been thwarted by car problems, lack of funds or new problems up here that have to be dealt
with before I can leave.
I understand from neighbors that the property has been taken care of nicely by friend Carlos and at least I am happy
about that.
The Jefferson property has an accepted offer and the short sale approval by SunTrust Mortgage should happen
any day now. (Hopefully, I keep being told it takes forever for short sale approvals.) The contract specifies that it must
close by June.
I hope that council understands that the building has not been occupied since last year - and of course won't be,
until the new owners take over. At least that should assure everyone that there are no safety issues to be concerned
about at this time.
Again, I thank you for everything. You have been wonderful.
Best wishes.
Dolores Nagel.

Hello Mr. Pereno. Thank you for your personal attention to our matter and your important insights.
I am sending this to you in response to the notice for hearing on March 21. 1 am out of the County this week on a
project here in Tampa. Please print out this email letter and distribute to each of the individual members of the code
board for tonight's hearing.
With regard to the matter with the cited cracked driveway at Coral Shoppes and our current condition, I am following up
on the previous communication to the Board where I had outlined that we cannot make the repair immediately due to:
• the building had no financial reserves accrued since we have been building back from 70% vacancies
during the recession where we pulled the property out of a foreclosure process,
• the current rent roll is 1/3 less than what it was prior to the financial downturn in securing whatever
lease rental rates the market would presently bear,
• in addition, out of eight stores, we are currently carrying two store vacancies and multiple storage unit
vacancies, a 25% + vacancy factor,
• in order to handle this $5000-6000 job, we had to raise the tenants rents under the
CommonAreaMaintenance lease clause after the start of the new year and accrue monthly towards the
total cost of repair. We have just recently implemented this and per the plan, and need the time as
previously outlined.
In only having started to accrue increased collections towards the expensive repair, it was clear that we were not going
to be able to have this repair handled by this March hearing date. Since we had disclosed our financial situation to you,
we felt that we would be allotted the total time necessary to raise the money for this less than critical repair through the
monthly rental increases. We forecast that we will be able to have the necessary amount accrued after a, additional 9
month period going forward, so we would propose that the repair be made no later than Dec 31, 2013.
Of course, if we can secure tenants for the two vacancies, we would accelerate the timetable since we wish to finalize
this open matter as much as you do. We have been actively soliciting national companies in both retail and small
restaurant for the available space. We feel we have one of the best properties along AIA in Cape Canaveral and have
never neglected the upkeep and corporate image of this shopping center, even through this very challenging economic
period.
