Dear Eric:
p.2
In my letter to you dated December 1 1 2007,1 asked you to delay final consideration of this project witiI
early March 2008 unless earlier consideration was requested by the applicant, with the understanding that
any such consideration would have to be requested in writing before February 1, 2008.
As you are aware, we allowed the February 1" deadline to pass, and we are now formally requesting that
our application for approval for this project be withdrawn. We are withdrawing our application because
Best Buy did not approve this project. we were not informed of the reasons that Best Buy did not
approve this project, except that final approval by them was denied after we had submitted all the design
and cost information they requested, including the cost and design requirements recommended by the
Planning Commission.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Mc Govem
Project Manager.
