Rumpf Director of Planning & Zoning City of Boynton Beach 100 East Boynton Beach Blvd. Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 Via Hand Delivery Re: Seaview Park Club - Request for Extension Our File No.: JLLC002 Dear Mike: This letter is a request for a site plan extension on behalf of our client, Jacksonville Landco, LLC, ("Landco") for the project known as Seaview Park Club ("ProjectD). The development of the Project was being undertaken by Lennar Homes, LLC ("Lennar") pursuant to an option agreement. The option agreement held by Lennar was terminated as of July, 2007 at which time our client was assigned Lennar's interest, plans and approvals for the Project. Since July, 2007, our client has been diligently working to continue development of the site and secure a building permit for the Project. However, it appears that they will not have secured a building permit prior to the expiration of the site plan on February 15, 2008. In addition, they have not had sufficient time to evaluate the product designs assigned to them by Lennar in light of current market conditions. Thus, by this letter we are officially requesting an extension to the site plan for a period of twelve (12) months to allow our client time to effectively evaluate the product and to secure building permits for the Project. Although the original applicant, Lennar, withdrew its involvement with the Project, our client remains committed to moving it forward. The following is a list of accomplishments that demonstrates our client's good faith efforts: }> Landco continues to work to complete development of the underlying site in preparation for vertical construction, including site work and construction of the dock facilities; O:\JLLCOO2\Revised letter to Rumpf re extensiqn tequest.Oec 12. 2007.doc December 12, 2007 Page 2 of2 EXHIBIT B );> Applications for Building permits associated with Building #4 were submitted to the City in October 2007; );> Fees paid to date to the City for the above permits total approximately $17,500; and )> General infrastructure work on the site is almost complete. Again, our client is committed to completing the development of the Project, but needs additional time to perform an effective evaluation of the market and designed product and to secure building permits for the same. All of this is being done, and a site plan extension is being requested, in order to best ensure the Success of the Project. If at all possible, we respectfully request that this extension request be placed on the January 8, 2008 CRA agenda and the subsequent City Commission agenda of February 5, 2008. Enclosed please find a check in the amount of Five Hundred ($500.00) Dollars made payable to the City of Boynton Beach. We understand that the applicant is responsible for the notice requirements. We will fulfill the notice responsibility as required prior to any public hearings. Please confirm with me the respective dates that this extension request will be heard so that I can prepare the appropriate notice. If you have any additional questions regarding the extension request, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, h~ ~~ S.

Rumpf Director of Planning & Zoning City of Boynton Beach 100 East Boynton Beach Blyd. Boynton Beach, Florida 33425 RE: Seayiew Park Club Boynton Beach, Florida Dear Mr. Rumpf, I wanted to proyide you with some information about Jacksonville Landco, LLC ("Landco"), the owner of the property known as the Seaview Park Club project (the "Project"). Succinctly, Landco has the requisite expertise and intends to develop the Project. Following is brief description of the company, its current actiyities with regard to the Project, and a short resume of its partners. By way of background, Landco is an entity that was formed to landbank residential deyelopments for homebuilders. The partners of Landco are certain principals of The Hutson Companies ("Hutson") and Prager, Sealy & Co., LLC ("Sealy"). Briefly, Hutson has extensive construction and development experience, while Sealy has an extensiye real estate finance and underwriting background, with a growing base in deyelopment. Understanding the risks associated with the real estate market in general, and landbanking in particular, the Landco partners haye planned from the start to utilize their combined skills to build out the projects that its. client homebuilders haye chosen not to complete. Accordingly, since Lennar's departure from the yertical component of the Project, Landco has undertaken the necessary steps to continue the deyelopment of the site, and secure a building permit. Landco has not engaged a broker or actiyely marketed the Project. As you are aware, Landco submitted a building permit package in order to begin construction of the fIrst of four residential buildings currently planned. It has been working with Carr Residential, a south Florida contractor to identify certain components to be incorporated into the project, as well as prepare necessary shop drawings from subcontractors that will be utilized in the construction process. Landco has also engaged Ms. Linda Love of American Realty Consultants to adyise it on yarious aspects of planning and marketing the Project, as well as to provide a current overview of the marketplace. Mr. Michael W. Rump! December 11, 2007 Page 2 of2 EXHIBIT B Weare seeking a site plan extension for a number of reasons, most notably because additional time is necessary to more effectiyely eyaluate the market and complete planning for a project that will be successful. As stated aboye, Hutson and Sealy, the partners in Landco have the experience necessary to successfully complete the Project. Hutson brings extensiye development and construction experience. Beginning in 1973, D. W. Hutson Construction was a pioneer in the northeast Florida homebuilding industry. With fIrm roots in the principles of yalue, conyenience and lifestyle, D.W. Hutson Construction brought forth dozens of residential communities, including more than 12,000 homes. Most notably, the fIrm is credited with the residential deyelopment and construction of much of Jacksonyille's south Mandarin area. Noted for its enyironmental sensitiyity, exceptional fInancial strength and its commitment to deyeloping family-friendly communities, The Hutson Companies currently owns and is developing projects in Clay, Duyal and St. Johns Counties, with total deyelopment rights to over 12,000 single and multifamily homes, as well as oyer 7 million square feet of commercial, office and industrial space. As a complement to the construction experience of the Hutson side of Landco, the Sealy side brings the underwriting and fmancing experience of over $5 billion of Florida real estate transactions. In addition, it is currently in the process of completing deyelopment of a number of communities and is partners in two residential building operations in Breyard County and Osceola County, Florida. The continued deyelopment of the Proj ect, including its yertical construction, is consistent with Landco's business plan, as it is consistent with the real estate expertise of the partners within Landco. Recognizing the nuances of the particular Boynton Beach marketplace, Landco has engaged the services of those with localized specialties in order best move forward with the deyelopment of the Project. We are ayailable to answer whatever questions may arise in this regard, and look forward to meeting with whomever might be posing them. In the meantime, should you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. 9nyille Landco, LLC I- "-.<<-<\ " ) \ // /.
