Hi, Richard. I’ve met you at a few meetings at DMPED.

I’m puzzled by a few changes – deleting the parenthetical in the first sentence would mean that the District would not

be allowed to host events inconsistent with museum or art‐related uses. Maybe we have to be specific about some

prohibited uses applying to only certain condo units. We also may have some problems with the deletion of the hours in

the first prohibited use at least as relates to the 2nd and 3rd condos you describe below. The rules were meant to apply

to common areas as well. As such, I’m not sure we’ll be ok with smoking in those common areas. I’ll discuss the

changes specifically with DGS Portfolio and get back to you.

Subject: 700 Delaware use restrictions and status

Hello Forest,

I hereby agree to the District's use restrictions, as proposed in the attached PDF, which we received from Katherine

Jough. We revamped our business plan to accommodate the needs of DHS in this matter. We underwrote our planned

operations, as a result of this late breaking request, and we are satisfied in our revised revenue projections to allow us

to accommodate the DHS request. It took awhile, but we are now back on track vision‐wise. This issue took us by

surprise, as we were informed that the District had at least initially accepted our proposed use restrictions, in several

recent conversations with Bill. No worries. All good.

We

remain

committed

to

the

family

center

at

700

Delaware.

I also agree that 700 Delaware LLC can utilize whomever they wish for architect of record for the PUD approval

efforts. This apparently was an issue that was causing some confusion with certain members of the Development

team. I have agreed for awhile that this was the case, so this is likely a drafting issue, as my attorney recently remarked

to the attorney for 700 Delaware LLC group.

There are no more issues to resolve, per a recent summary of outstanding issues that I received from attorneys

representing all parties. We were down to these last few.

I look forward to a successful project.

Best, Steve

Tanner

Today the feasibility period ends between 700 Delaware LLC (Varsity/BlueSky) and Steve Tanner. Tanner will extend itbut we want to be certain we don’t have to ask for another extension. Based on your review of the “use clause” andcondo documents how much time do you recommend seeking from Tanner before the Varsity/Bluesky has to fund thenon-refundable deposit?

Dear Donnie,

This letter is in response to your pricing inquiry for the homeless shelter near the ballpark in Washington, DC.

As you know, CBG has experience with a wide variety of residential housing including market rate apartments,

student housing, barracks facilities and senior housing. These products include many different structure types

potential facility of roughly 36,000 SF and feel that the following represents a fair pricing target for this

building.

Hambro Structure (Steel and concrete hybrid structure up to 8 stories) - $210/Gross SF

Wood Structure (wood building, up to five stories on two levels of concrete) - $160/Gross SF

Both numbers are inclusive of overhead and profit and include both vertical and horizontal construction – theseare turnkey numbers exclusive of design costs. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to call

Much appreciated.

We all need to be clear what is being asked. Sometimes that gets lost in redlines.

This is a material matter. It impacts the PUD and how to proceed......to successfully win acceptance by

the SW community, to achieve the family center, to avoid failure.

This is an economic request.

I'm available anytime to meet.

Hello Ms. Jough,

Good morning.

Perhaps we should meet to discuss the latest redline use,restriction proposed by the

District,

which

effectively

kills

the

event

space

platform

at

700

Delaware

Avenue.

I feel the need to advise you directly about what is at stake here, so there is no

confusion on the part of the District about its request and the economic impact. I am

not simply being difficult here.

If accepted as proposed, the economic viability of the event center is

threatened. Further, if there is no viable event space, it materially harms the viability of

the museum effort.

The District made statements at the community meeting in Ward 6 that the family

center would operate in harmony with Blind Whino and a museum at 700 Delaware

Avenue.

We need

to

work

together

to

reach

an

acceptable

agreement

which

allows

this to be the case.

The latest redline request harms the viability the event space operation as a going

concern. This is an economic request by the District, which goes beyond the

contemplated transaction for the family center condo component of the planned

PUD. The remaining 3 condo uses in this planned PUD application need to be viable.

Lets work together to come to an acceptable outcome.

Suggestions:

1. Agree that my proposed use restrictions are acceptable.

2. The District proposes an economic proposal which compensates for the loss of the

event space revenue, and which allows the museum to operate successfully so the PUD

can be properly presented as to its proposed uses before the community and zoning

commission.

3. Purchase the entire site. This allows the District to fully control the uses.

I look forward to working with the District.

I fully support the family life center.

Thank you for your kind consideration of the situation which we collectively need to address.

Cordially, Steve Tanner

Katherine,

Much appreciated.


This is a material matter. It impacts the PUD and how to proceed......to successfully win acceptance by the SW

community, to achieve the family center, to avoid failure.



Best, Steve

Hi, Mr. Tanner. Thanks so much for reaching out to me. Just to be clear, I am not the author of that

list. I did revise it in order to reflect/refine the concepts that were conveyed to me by DGS’s Portfolio

group after

their

discussions

with

DHS.

Clearly,

there

is

a need

for

discussion

and

I have

copied

others

on the District side to make them aware of your concerns and suggestions. I believe Bill Quinby has

already begun discussions with Portfolio about next steps.

Thanks so much,

Kathy

Hello Ms. Jough,

Good morning.

Perhaps we should meet to discuss the latest redline use,restriction proposed by the District, which

effectively kills the event space platform at 700 Delaware Avenue.

I feel the need to advise you directly about what is at stake here, so there is no confusion on the part of

the District about its request and the economic impact. I am not simply being difficult here.

If accepted as proposed, the economic viability of the event center is threatened. Further, if there is no

viable event space, it materially harms the viability of the museum effort.

The District made statements at the community meeting in Ward 6 that the family center would operate

in harmony with Blind Whino and a museum at 700 Delaware Avenue. We need to work together to

reach an acceptable agreement which allows this to be the case.

The latest redline request harms the viability the event space operation as a going concern. This is an

economic request

by

the

District,

which

goes

beyond

the

contemplated

transaction

for

the

family

center

condo component of the planned PUD. The remaining 3 condo uses in this planned PUD application

need to be viable.


Suggestions:


2. The District proposes an economic proposal which compensates for the loss of the event space

revenue, and which allows the museum to operate successfully so the PUD can be properly presented as

to its

proposed

uses

before

the

community

and

zoning

commission.

I’ve got a handful of questions on the Condo Dec. Is someone available tomorrow to go

through them with me? I’d prefer to discuss them over the phone and don’t really have

a thorough list right now.
