Subject: RE: Request for copy of the Tretra Property Land Appraisal

Irwin Thank you for your email. The appraisal will be made available once the Board and owner of the Tetra
property have executed a conditional contract (pending the outcome of the referendum). I anticipate
the Board will be considering the matter during their upcoming March 26 meeting. As was done with
the LOI, once approved by the Board, both the conditional contract and appraisal will be posted on the
Associations website, in advance of the referendum voting period.
I hope you and your family stay safe and warm this evening.

Subject: Request for copy of the Tretra Property Land Appraisal

Dear Cate,
Hope you are doing well on this snowy day. I have searched the RA website without success in an
attempt to find a copy of the land appraisal of the Tetra property. You may recall that I was told it
would be made public in response to my question at a Board meeting announcing the proposed
purchase and sale. I consider this document essential to any evaluation of the present proposal to
purchase the property at the $2.65 million, as proposed in the LOI, and it reportedly serves as the basis
for the purchase price. Please consider this a formal request for a copy of the foregoing document. If
you have any questions concerning this request, please contact me at your earliest convenience. I look
forward to receiving a copy of the document within the next ten days.
Cordially,

Irwin Flashman
