20 LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM BOCA HIGH SCHOOL COUNTRY CLUB VILLAGE from Geoff McKee (Principle of Boca High School ) to the Mayor and City Council Members of Boca on Tuesday, May 10, 2011 On behalf of Boca Raton Community High School, I met with Fred DeFalco, Sr., regarding the proposed remodeling of the rental properties immediately south of our school. I believe the remodeling will improve the appearance of the rental properties, will provide more appealing rental properties, and will have no detrimental impact on our school community. Thank you for considering my input.

22 1601 N.W. 13 th Street, Boca Raton, FL (561) July 07, 2011 Dear Ed Friedman 1297 NW 17TH AVE BOCA RATON FL RE: COUNTRY CLUB VILLAGE APARTMENTS RENOVATIONS AND NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION I have previously written to you in April of this year, and the purpose of this letter is to inform you that Country Club Village Apartments filed an application with the City of Boca Raton requesting several site plan modifications for our property at 1601 NW 13 th Street. The specific location of Country Club Village is shown on the enclosed location sketch. Our proposed plans call for upgrading the existing units on the site, the removal and replacement of the older units, the construction of a completely new recreational complex and the addition of four new residential structures. One of the new buildings replaces an existing building we will take down along I-95. The result will be a full upgrade of the property and a much needed extreme makeover to the entire community. If you have not already received a notice from the City of Boca Raton, you will be receiving one soon indicating that they will be holding a meeting this month to consider approval of our application. The current zoning allows for 99 units. We are asking for the approval of our revised site plan and for a re-zoning to allow for the improvements and construction of 33 additional units on the site. When we sent the first letter in April, we only received one response by . We were going to hold a public meeting to answer questions, but with only one response we did not feel a meeting was warranted. I will be glad to meet with any neighbor who has any questions or concerns. If have attached detailed information related to this project, I would be happy to meet with you in person, at your home or in the office at Country Club Village Apartments. I can be reached at , extension 216, on my cell phone , or via at fred@defalco.com. Best Regards, Fred DeFalco, Managing Member Club Village, LLC
