( "Home Depot ") for Declaration of Release of Corrective Unity of Title, relating to a portion of the Shoppes of Woolbright P.C.D. Dear Mr. Breese, As a follow -up to our recent conversations, in my capacity as local Florida counsel to Home Depot, this letter is being written to request that the City Staff and the City Commission take formal action to release and terminate that certain Corrective Unity of Title executed by Home Depot on June 1, 1999, and recorded in OR Bk. 11189, Pg. 1278, of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida, a copy of which is attached for your convenience ( "Unity of Title "). As you are well aware, that portion of the Shoppes of Woolbright P.C.D. under Home Depot ownership, was developed to include both the existing Home Depot and an Expo Design Center, which facility has since closed. Home Depot has recently entered into a contract to sell that portion of its overall ownership to a third party, and, thus, a condition of the closing is the release of the Unity of Title. We believe that the release of the Unity of Title is mutually beneficial to both Home Depot and the City, inasmuch as the sale will ultimately result in the redevelopment of the former Expo Design Center parcel, while the P.G.D. will assure the continuation of the overall regulatory control of the commercial development. In order to facilitate the closing on this parcel, we are requesting that you schedule consideration of this matter on your City Commission Agenda for August 7, 2012. We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter, and please do not hesitate to contact me to provide any necessary clarifications or assistance in finalizing Home Depot's request.
