Riverside Development Company, as the original developer of Ramsey <br />Villas North, is willing to participate in these discussions, but only for the purpose of providing <br />a history of what occurred in the past and to help, if asked, to determine what might be done as <br />a part of a new City project to enhance the noise dampening effectiveness of the wall. The <br />record is quite clear that the wall was designed and constructed in full compliance with the <br />requirements imposed by the City in the Development Agreement dated May 3, 2021 and as <br />directed by the City. As such, my client does not have and by agreeing to participate will not <br />agree to assume any financial liability associated with the making of any subsequent changes to <br />the wall. It is willing to offer its opinion on the potential making of such changes, if doing so is <br />deemed to be helpful. <br />If you believe having a representative of the developer at the meeting would be beneficial, my <br />client is willing to do so as long as it is agreed that its participation in the meeting is solely for <br />the purpose of providing background information and, if asked, to offer suggestions for <br />potential future changes by the City. Please let me know if you would like Riverside <br />Developinent Company to attend the meeting under the conditions outlined above. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ronald W.
