The Property actually contains 254 parking spaces, which is 6 short of the
stated requirement. The notations on the approved site plan do not
coincide with the actual number of spaces shown on the site plan sheet SP2
or with those actually on the site. Upon inspection on March 18, 2011 the 254
spaces on-site was confirmed. A parking modification request was made on
April 5, 2011 and approved on April 15, 2011 to permit the 254 spaces to
meet the requirement for the site.
The Property is in compliance with all applicable zoning ordinances, rules and
regulations, including parking requirements, based on the final zoning
inspection(s) and the above referenced modification.
This letter may be relied upon by the addressee(s) listed above and by any assignee
or successor in interest of the addressee(s) listed above, and by any other person
who has a current or future interest in the property whether as owner or mortgagee.

of the County of Albemarle. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to call me.
