HighWa}~ +C~ne Suite 2~8 North Palm Beach, Florida .~3tQ8 Phone: .5b1-b27-32,7 Fax: .ib1-627-299 August 20, 201® To: Members of the Village Council Village of North Palm Beach, Florida Hand Delivered Dear Member of the Village Council: This company is the owner of the Crystal Tree Center located at 1201 US #1, North Palm Beach, Florida.. We believe we have been a good corporate citizen of the Village. We take pride in the Center and hope you agree that the Center is an asset to the Village. Recently we signed a lease with Cod & Capers whereby they intend to open a large ($,400 square foot) facility at the Center. We understand that Cod & Capers is requesting from the Village a similar use permit which would enable them to move their store to North Palm Beach. We strongly support this application. Every merchant in this Center strongly believes that Cod & Capers will be a fantastic addition to the tenant mix. Current economic conditions have caused our merchants to struggle. A number have closed their doors. We know for a fact that Cod & Capers is a terrific draw of people into a center and will be a great help to the existing merchants. The merchants are very excited about this operation moving to this center. In fact, attached is a petition in support of Cod & Capers signed by every Merchant at the Center. We have been negotiating the lease with the Principal of Cod & Capers {Mr Steve Gyland) for over a year. During this time, we have had the opportunity to conduct extensive investigation of his current operation located on PGA Boulevard. 1 personally have seen every aspect of his present operation. I have found Mr Steve Gyland to be an exceptional operator. He is extremely conscientious in terms of cleanliness and general appearance of his store. He has been in business for a long time and has developed a highly devoted following. He has been a strong asset in Palm Beach Gardens and will be an equally strong asset in North Palm Beach. We strongly urge you to approve his application and allow him to open his operation in Crystal Tree. Re e lly S ~ ed Eug e G p General Manager.
