The point of contact/applicant for Cumberland Farms is Mr. Jeff Lucas with Atkins Engineering. His office number is 321-775-6647.

David, picking up where we left off last week. You said,"They (Cumberland Farms) have been focused on working with the property owner and neighbors to see if a mutually acceptable development scenario" This is where we need clarification. Who are the points of contacts on both sides for this "working with the property owner" ? In a previous job I was a senior negotiator so I appreciate the tact and need for good representation and gathering of meaningful information. Do I need to reach out to Cumberland Farms myself? Or is somebody at the city level representing the best interests of our community with them? Please note there is one self appointed spokesperson at Cape Shores but he does not represent the opinions or majority views. In fact I will be talking to the Director of the Board of Directors soon as they have asked me to a meeting. This is why it is important we have open communication. As I said to Todd and yourself, I want to reduce community blowback and that is why if I know all the facts, I can help if you let me. -Ray Osborne -RKO PS. Please see attached pie chart of results from the survey I submitted to you last week. On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 8:48 AM, David Dickey <D.Dickey@cityofcapecanaveral.org> wrote: Hi Ray. I also appreciate our dialogue. 1. To my knowledge, the developer is not pursuing other locations in Cape Canaveral. They have been focused on working with the property owner and neighbors to see if a mutually acceptable development scenario can be reached on the current site. 2. Our communication with the Cumberland Farm folks has been very open and frank. They are aware of certain concerns expressed by surrounding property owners, including the number of gas stations in the general area and the proposed removal of specimen trees. 3. We did not specifically talk about the archaeological site(s) at our meeting last week. That is an item that would typically be addressed during the City’s review of a site plan. The developer has not made that application at this point. Be assured, the City will require the necessary and proper protection for any identified archaeological resources located on the development site. Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for the reply, David. I appreciate the open level of communication we have. I also wanted to ask you as a representative of the city about the discussions that you had last week with the Cumberland Farms and their reps with Metrogroup. I know there is a lot of rumors and perhaps misinformation floating around the community and we all would do better with real facts. Here are a few questions, please answer those that you can. 1) Did the Cumberland Farms rep express any willingness to look at other properties in the city to build their gas station? Other than the one at the subject property. Many in our community feel there are blighted areas or even older convenience/ gas stores that would be more promising for their development. 2) Can you tell me and for public record what citizen concerns were conveyed to the Cumberland Farms representatives Metrogroup? 3) And pertaining to my previous submission. Did any discussion come up about the archaeology site on the area? If so, did it appear that they as the new owners of the property would allow for a proper archaeological excavation of the property before land removal and building started? Thanks again, I look forward to your earliest reply. -RKO On Wed, Sep 10, 2014 at 10:17 AM, David Dickey <D.Dickey@cityofcapecanaveral.org> wrote: Thanks for the follow-up Ray.
