Dr. Dan L. Morrill Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission 2100 Randolph Road Charlotte, NC 28207 Re: Washam Farm / JAGCO Dear Dr. Morrill: I am writing to update you regarding the status of the Washam Farm property in advance of tonight’s Commission meeting. We have reviewed the proposal and diagram on your web site for the designation of approximately five acres surrounding the 1.5-acre tract owned by Joe K. Washam. We are also aware that the Town of Huntersville very recently passed its new zoning ordinance, thus answering some of our questions regarding the impact of the new open space requirements on the property. Based on our previous communications and our initial interpretation of the zoning ordinance, we feel confident that we can reach a final agreement with respect to this property. Since the new zoning ordinance was passed, however, we have not had an opportunity to communicate with Joe Klutz, who has been our contact person from the Commission and has been instrumental in working to reach an agreement that will be acceptable to all. As a result, we would like to request that the Commission postpone a vote on the potential designation of this property until we have had an opportunity to discuss the details of a possible agreement with Joe Klutz. Our clients have indicated that they would like to finalize this matter at your April meeting, so we anticipate having the specifics of a proposed agreement finalized before the Commission’s April meeting date. We understand that one of the Commission’s primary concerns is that the out buildings will be moved or altered before the Commission is able to process the property for landmark designation. Please accept this letter as our client’s confirmation that the out buildings will not be moved or altered prior to the Commission’s April meeting. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding these matters. I look forward to working with you to finalize an agreement with respect to this property. My best personal regards. Very truly yours, Helms Mulliss & Wicker, PLLC Robert G. Brinkley cc: Dr. Paul Jaszewski (by fax and and fax) Joseph B. Klutz, Esq. (by e-mail)
