RE: Valley Ranch Goodyear
Dear Mr. Morton
This letter is written to advise you of our position relative to the physical
improvements for the Goodyear Auto Tire Center on the above referenced site.
We have in our possession only one document which simply is shown to be a
building permit which allows us to proceed with construction of the
improvements for the site and building as submitted and approved. To date, we
or no representative of this company has seen anything that would indicate
that permit to be a temporary permit or a restricted permit that can be
stopped by virtue of lack of someone else's willingness to perform and
complete a task that had been agreed to with your city. Please understand
that we will do anything that we can in terms of cooperating with you to make
sure the improvements that we are making are done in compliance with your
codes and the plans as agreed to. However, I find it unreasonable and
questionable that you would use us as a lever to try and force Dunning
Development to complete improvements that had been agreed to with you and that
for reasons outside of our control you have been unable to get them to
complete.
I suggest that you use means other than levering an independent third party to
bring these completions about. Let me make it clear that if we suffer loss by
virtue of time or other things because of your restrictions, we will look
solely to you and Dunning Development for reimbursement for any such losses.
Please be aware that we made every possible attempt to delay the closing until
all improvements had been completed by Dunning, and evidence of that
completion was your issuance of a building permit. It is extremely dis-
couraging to find out in the aftermath of the building permit having been
received that we are being used as a lever to elicit performance out of
someone whom we have no ability to control.
If there is any reason that you are restricting our ability to move forward
other than your inability to get cooperation from Dunning, please inform us of
those things immediately. If there are no other reasons, I ask that you help

us and cooperate with us in terms of inspections, etc. in allowing us to move
forward to complete the improvements that have been permitted by virtue of our
plans and specifications.
Please understand that we will cooperate in any method we can to try to help
you achieve what it is that you are after, short of being squeezed as an
independent third party.
With best regards
