Dear Sirs:
I apologize for my demeanor and the extra time I used up at the meeting on April 6, 2006
regarding Hightower Subdivision. I was wrong to let my frustration ttom the double-talk
during the past 45 days ftom the Hightower LLC team affect my delivery to your
commission. My attitude was horrible. I also erred in not preparing sufficiently to
provide a succinct verbal presentation.
My global argument is that height restrictions are an effective means to create product
values that median income families can afford and that height restrictions do not create an
wûeasible profit situation for developers. Homes at 2S feet are still' 2 Yz stories tall.
However, homes at 35 feet are 3 Y2 stories tall; that just seems to be too much house on a
4800sflot.
If I ever speak: in front of the commission again, I will endeavor to be more efficient.
Thank you for your understandhtg.
