CORRESPONDENCE January 9,2003 GERALD L. KNIGHT 954.468.7868 Internet Address: gknight@hklaw.com VIA FACSIMILE J ames A. Cherof, Esq City Attorney City of Boynton Beach 100 East Boynton Beach Boulevard Boynton Beach, FL 33435 Re Dakota Lofts Dear Jim. As you know, we represent Dakota Lofts Development Corporation ("Dakota") In previous discussions with Lindsay Payne of your office, I agreed to provide the City with a utility easement for Bamboo Lane from G.A. Homes, Inc., which is the record-tltle owner of Bamboo Lane Accordmgly, please find enclosed a proposed Grant of Easement to the City of Boynton Beach, whIch has been executed on behalf of G.A. Homes, Inc. Please review the proposed Grant of Easement and give me your comments. I will hold the onginal Grant of Easement and delIver it to your office for recording when the Dakota Lofts Plat has been approved by the City Engineer Abo enclosed is a copy of a proposed Grant of Easement from G .A. Homes, Inc., to Dakota for ingress and egress over Bamboo Lane. Agam, please reVIeW the proposed Grant of Easement and glVe me your comments. With respect to thIS proposed Grant of Easement, I have previously prOVIded Lmdsay Payne with a copy of a surveyor's letter stating that Bamboo Lane is not included in the property described in the Final Judgment in Favor of Palm Beach County recorded at O.R. Book 1902, Page 1322, PublIc Records of Palm Beach County, Florida. Thus, the first alternatlVe stated m Item 36 of David Kelley's letter to Dror Trigger dated December 20, 2002 (which I also previously copied to Lmdsay Payne), is not applicable As to the second alternative, G.A. Homes, Inc., has no J ames A. Cherof, Esq January 9,2003 Page 2 present intention of dedicating Bamboo Lane as a public street; nor will Bamboo Lane be included III the plat of Dakota Lofts. Based on the best title informatIOn available, Bamboo Lane is a private street now owned by G A. Homes, Inc., which is granting an express easement to Dakota to utilize Bamboo Lane for mgress and egress to the Dakota Lofts development. Thus, the second alternatIve mentIOned in Mr Kelley's December 20 letter is also inapplicable. By virtue of the express easement for lllgress and egress being granted by G.A. Homes, Inc., to Dakota (as well as any existing prescriptive or implied easement rights Dakota may already possess), the right of access over Bamboo Lane to a publIc highway (U.S. 1) can be clearly demonstrated by Dakota, and, therefore, City Engmeer approval of the plat of Dakota Lofts should no longer be delayed for this reason. Further, in Item 3 i) of David Kelley's December 20 letter, he mquires as to how Dakota will prevent "Tract 'B' [i.e., Dakota Lofts] from crossing the Not Included Lot 3D, and VIce versa." We do not belIeve that this matter, which relates to the use of the canal adjacent to Dakota Lofts and Lot 3D, is relevant to the City Engineer's approval of the Dakota Lofts plat. I am aware of no provision of Chapter 177, Florida Statutes, or the City of Boynton Beach Code to whIch such an mqUlry would reasonably relate. ThIS IS a pnvate matter between the owner of Dakota Lofts and the owner of Lot 3D In any event, Dakota will work with the owner of Lot 3D to come up WIth mutually acceptable appropriate measures (such as signage, floatmg buoys, etc.) to prevent such encroachments. Thank you for your consideration. Very truly yours, HOLLAND & KNIGHT LLP By' GERALD L. KNIGHT cc: Lindsey Payne, Esq Dror Triger Press Tompkins FTLl #605828 vI CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIOA INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO' Jeff Livergood, Director, Public Works CC' David Kelley, Utility Engineer FROM. Lindsey A. Payne, Assistant City Attomey LAP James A. Cherof, City Attorney JAC SUBJECT City of Boynton Beach (the "City")/Dakota Lofts Plat DATB. December 24, 2002 Thank you and David for meeting with me on Wednesday, December 18, 2002, regarding the Dakota Lofts Plat David's research and review of the platting issues pertaining to Dakota Lofts serves the City well and his due diligence and dedication are to be commended. I do understand and respect all of the timo and effort he has put into detennininjj; the issues pertaining to the plat and its relationship to Bamboo Lane. As we discussed at the meeting, Bamboo Lane according to the infonnation supplied by Attorney Jeffrey A. Levine, is owned either by Palm Beach County because of a Court order transferring title for Impaid taxes or Dakota Lofts via the quit-claim deeds provided by the SWetman heirs to Dakota Lofts. This means that either the County owns the road or Dakota Lofts owns the road. Between the two, I am confident that the access issue via Bamboo Lane is no longer a legal impediment to letting Dakota Lofts proceed with basic engineering groundwork. If you like, we CQuld probably put language in any engineerinjj; permits Issued at this point to Dakota Lofts that the permits are being issued subject to final plat approval and that Dakota Lofts is willing to proceed knowing that the plat still needs approval. Please feel free to call me with any questions or concerns regarding this matter. Please let me know if you disagree with allowing Dakota Lofts proceed with preliminary engineering penl1its.

Goren, Cherof, Doody & Ezrol, P'A. 3099 East Co=ereial Boulevard Fort L1uderdale, PL 33308 RE. Dakota Lofts Development Corporation ("Dakota") I City ofBoynton Beach ("City") Bamboo Lane aceess File No. 02-710.0 Dear Mr. Cherof: I am in receipt of your letter dated November 15, 2002, to Gerald L. Knight of the firm of Holland and Knight. Our mutual client, Dakota, has asked me to respond to your letter. Actually, Dakota has hired three (3) attorneys to assist it in resolving the issues that tbe City and you have raised, consisting of Gerald Knight, Michael Weiner and me. It is the desire and intention of our client to work as closely with you as possible and to provide you and any other official ofthc City with any and all information that you require. I am primarily responsible for invesligating and evaluating title to the Dakota property and the access qucstlOn for Bamboo Lane, I have spent a great deal of time over the last few weeks working extremely closely \vith officials of Attorneys' Title Insurance Fund, Inc. to establish the answers to the questions you previously raised, We have l.mdertaken a thorough investigation due to the fact that the issues that the City raised created some novel questions. As an aside, I am sure it was not Michael Weiner's intention to circumvent any ofilie questions that you previously asked or CUllse any problems for you or the City in reg:ll'd 10 his recent letter. JfMichael's letter to Mr. Rumpf caused you any concern, please accept the apology on behalf of my client. With all of the above being snid, I would like to provide you with the following infmmation (and copies of the pertinent back-up data) concerning the street known as Bamboo Lane: 1. In 1950, Robert P Swetlllan and .Loretta T Swctman acquired a large tnlct of land (including what is now Bamboo Lane) from Edwin T. Osteen. Said Deed was recorded in Deed Book 908, at Page 241, of the Public Records of Palm Bcach County, Florida. DEC-04-2002 (WED) 11 55 LAW ()CCICES (FAX) 1_ 561 382 1313 f.> 1J1J,,/1J,,4 James A. Cherof, Esq, Goren, Cherof, Doody & Ezrol, P.A December 4, 2002 Page 2 2, Mr. and Mrs. Swetman initiated the sale of various parcels of the tract of land that they acquircd to many individuals, In fact, they prepared, but did not file, an unrecorded Plat known as R.P Swetman Properly They then commenced a systematic sale and conveyance ofthe properties by metes and bounds descriptioIlS, of the various "lots" as dcsignated on thc unfiled Plat. They did not convey the "strect" known as Bamboo Lane to any third party 3 On the 31 st day of December, 1952, the Swctmans conveyed certain property within the arca (including Bamboo Lane) to the Robeat P Swctman Tru.st datcd December 31, 1952. Said Deed was recorded in Deed Book 1002, at Page 691, of the Public Rccords of Palm Bcach County, Florida. 4 The Fund cannot find any indication that the Swetmans or Mr. Swetman as Tmstee ever conveyed the property known as Bamboo Lane to any third party 5, J amcs Hager ofRager, Palbicke and Associates prepared a sketch of sUlVey and legal dcscription which specifically shows Bamboo Lme and indicates that said street is contiguous on the southern border to the Dakota Lofts' property 6. In 1970, Palm Beach County institutcd an action (Case No. 70c2933) to foreclose and/or quicttitle to numerous streets in the area because of a failure to P'lYtaxes. I am enclosing a copy of an Order entered by thc Court on May 28, 1970 which appears to establish that matter. 7 M r and Mrs. Swetman, who were residcnts of Florida, passed away many years ago. We havc established that Mr. Swetman predeceased Mrs. Swctman. Mrs. Swetman' s probate was conducted in Orange County, Florida, in the Probate Division evidenced by Case No. 76-1564 Mrs. Swetman had designated the Barnett Bank of Winter Park, N,A, (now known as Bank of America) and attorney Glenn W Gilson IT as Personal Reprcsentatives of her WilL This individual and the banIc were also the final Trustees oftl1e Swetman TrU$t referred to above. 8. For many years, neither the Swetmans nor anyonc on their bchalf, paid taxes on the propertyknowll as Bamboo Lane. We have established, and we will discuss later in this letter, that the Swelmans' fiducimies and their heirs mamtain that they have no interest whatsoever in the Ban1boo .Lane area.

Goren, Cherof, Doody & Ezrol, P.A December 4, 2002 Page 3 We have been in communieal1on with the last Personal Representatives and Trustees of the Swctmans. They have been kind enough to execute and deliver to us a Quit Claim Deed for the area known as Bamboo Lane. The Grantee on the Quit Claim Deed is G.A. Homes, Inc., which is a company that is wholly owned by one of the principals of Dakota Lofts Development Corporation. The deeds (executed in counterparts) were recorded on December 4, 2002 and 1 am enclosing certified copies of the recorded instrumcnts. The tille ofG,A. Homes, Inc. to "Bamboo Lane" is subject to the rights ohesidents and property owners (as well as any other members of the public) to use and enjoy Bamboo Lane, which rights may have been established by law due to the historical, open, notorious, visible and uninterrupted use of the slreet. I hope thatlllis answers the qLlestions that you have been asking and, if you require any further infomlation, please do not hesi tate to cont.1.Ct Mr. Knight, Mr. Weiner or me.

Again, we have reviewed this document in accordance with Chapter 177, F.S. (Land Boundaries) Part I Platting, Chapter 472, F.S. (Land Surveying), and Chapter 61017-6 F.A.C. (Minimum Technical Standards) and those applicable codes section relating to the Land Development Regulations of the City Practically all of the previous items have been addressed; however the proposed record plat needs a small 'tweak' prior to obtaining any (and all) signatories, Finally, we will delineate any procedural needs required in order to accept the proposed record plat by the City TITLE SHEET, Sheet I of 3 A. DEDICATION: Dakota Lofts Development Corporation needs to sign the proposed record plat as the dedicator [I assume that the comma following the corporation name component DEVELOPMENT above where the President signatory line is, is a scrivener's error, please delete same.] America s Gateway to the Gulfstream Dakota Lofts Development Corporation, Attention. Dror Trigger, Project Manager Re: Dakota Lofts Request for Record Plat Review February 11, 2003 Page Two B. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. The Notary Public needs to validate the dedicator's signatures, C. TITLE CERTIFICATION: The attorney certifYing the ownership ofthe property and their right to create this record plat needs to be identified, dated and signed accordingly SIGNATORY SHEET, Sheet 2 of 3 This sheet appears to be complete. PLAT SHEET. Sheet 3 of 3 D The issue in regards to Bamboo Lane has been solved with the granting ofthe Ingress-Egress & Utility Easement to the City of Boynton Beach, which was accepted by the City Commission at their regular meeting of February 4th (copy attached as Exhibit A), The record plat reflects only a 30' & 20' ingress-egress easement, which is slightly different in configuration than what was approved by the City Commission, with no mention of the utility easement part of the "Grant of Easement" I presume that this also is a scrivener's error. Please have this sheet of the record plat modified accordingly In addition, please provide this office with a copy ofO.R.B. 14728, Page 512, Public Records of Palm Beach County, so this declaration can be verified. The original mylar record plat sheets are being returned for correction/completion. After these remaining noted comments have been addressed and re-submitted to this Division for final review, once approved, a field review of the required monumentation will be undertaken. To facilitate this effort, it will be requested ofthe surveyor-of-record to 'lathe and flag' all monuments and P C,P.s for validation. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned at telephone number 742-6488. LAND DEVELOPMENT PERMIT/BUILDING PERMIT STATUS The Land Development Permit will be issued after the proposed record plat is completed and ready for recordation, which is pursuant to the City's Land Development Regulations (LDR), Chapter 5, Article VIT, which states that this permit is required prior to commencement of construction of required improvements. This permit is issued by the Director of Development pursuant to the LDR, Chapter 1, Article IT (definitions), The required site improvement plans have been in review for some nine (9) months with comments each time that require proper and timely responses. There have been as follows: May 10,2002 (1st review), August 27, 2002 (2nd review), September 17, 2002 (3rd review), December 11, 2002 (4th review), and February 7,2003 (5th & current review). Your proposed construction plans still require Dakota Lofts Development Corporation, Attention: Dror Trigger, Project Manager Re: Dakota Lofts Request for Record Plat Review February 11, 2003 Page Three the submission of the paving and drainage plans (for final review), the various impact fees due, and surety The plat fee has previously been paid by your corporation. Three (3) sets of these plans (signed and sealed), along with a copy of the approved water and sewer plans need to be submitted to Mr Ken Hall (Engineering Plan Review Analyst/Inspector) as soon as possible. We must be in possession of approved engineering plans in order to issue a Land Development Permit. In regards to the 6-unit building permit (proposed permit #02-3775), the initial review commenced in November 2002, to which the 3rd review was completed on December 20,2002 and picked up by your secretary on December 27,2002. This review stated that the project had to go back to the CRA on January 14, 2003 for elevation changes, to which the City Commission ratified the CPA action at their meeting of January 21, 2003 Tim Large, the Building Division's Code Administrator, is monitoring the building permit process; future status report requests need to be directed to him. I trust that this synopsis will be helpful to you in satisfying those necessary requirements for your various permits.

In regards to those utility easements shown as centerlines of water andlor sewer; these need to be shown in strips of land and labeled correctly All easements are to be labeled "UTILITY EASEMENT(S)"; we do not specify them as one type of utility or another Secondly, the correct width of the easement is required to be shown, most notably the 12.foot (minimum) strip for the easement. However, dimensioning to the centerline is permitted, For clarity, relocate the bearing/distance of the centerline of the utility easements lying east of Lots 1 - 8, and south of Lots 9 - 14 after reflection of the easement bands. In order to achieve this and provide clarity, you may have to change the scale of the drawing (i.e., 1" = 20' scale) with break lines in that segment of Tract "B" where appropriate. 23, For clarity, highlight the "tabular data" and show Lots 13A, 14A, 18A & 19A as open space (or a part of the existing canal), 24 For clarity, show the dimension line(s) delineating the limits of the "20 feet Landscape Easement" of Tract "A" along the U.S. Highway NO.1 right-of-way After these proposed record plat comments have been addressed and re-submitted to this division for another review, once approved, a field review of the required monumentation will be undertaken.

September II, 2002 SUBJECT Dakota Lofts Plat I have reviewed the above referenced plat and have the following comments. 1. The plat conforms to the site plan as approved by the City Commission on January 15,2002. 2. Dakota Lofts is a PUD and must contain "PUD" within the plat title (Ch, 5, Art. V, Sec, I, 13). 3. The plat contains a private waterway (Tract "B"). The reservation language does not address the use of the canal by the private property owners adjacent to the canal. Is this an issue? 4 Residents on Virginia Gardens Drive will access Federal Highway through the Dakota Lofts development. The plat should contain a dedication for a cross access easement. 5, Access for the plat is from Bamboo Lane, an undedicated right-of-way Is this legal acceSS and should this be addressed on the plat or the survey? 6.
