Page 2 of 2 situation and trying to get out of doing things the right way. I can reassure you that we are not like that because in all of our past businesses we have taken care of things in a professional way. Should this business grow, in the future we will again have to take out other traffic study's and building permits etc. For example should this place become a real success we would apply for a building permit to do a 2-3000 sq ft building like an In and Out burger place or a Starbucks. The previous owners of this particular property, they with their real estate agents approached all the large chains like Mac Donald's and the Starbucks of our time. None would take it because they all knew its the wrong location. All the big chains hit the high traffic areas and city's of which this building site is obviously not one of them. 8. We don't think its fair for us to put in something that will far exceed what we are going to do at this time. I know there are many possibilities for this area. This is not a major exit. The airport has been quoted many times and they do about 5000 jumps per month. Some of these jumps are made by the same people. Most are on Sundays when we will be closed. Our long term vision is not for coffee but for cheese and wine. We are cheese manufacturers and retailers by trade. Our long term focus is to have this location as a cheese store and one of our many factory direct outlets. Cheese stores are a low volume customer with a high sale price per customer for example $30.00 per customer vs. $3.00 per customer. 9. We will gladly keep an area open for future expansion regarding septic fields and should we become very busy then lets expand the system. We will monitor all the water flowing with meters into this bldg. We can send you monthly or quarterly results or/and you can help us monitor this business. Most people don't want you to know what they are doing and want to hide things. We can reassure you that will not be the case with us. You may come over at anytime or any hour and see customer numbers from our computers and anything you want. We don't want to damage the environment or misuse the soil. We will help you monitor the soil and leach lines. Just tell us how to do it. In the past with our cheese factory in Canada we were one of the top in the nation. Almost first place in the world in 1998. Our latest test scores on the Safe Serve certificate for Brent, Bryan and myself have been 91%, 90%, and 96% (instructor qualification). We know the food industry and sanitation forwards and backwards. We have a video from our factory in Canada if you would like to see it. Had we not lost everything we owned in the stock market in 2000 we wouldn't be having this problem nor this conversation. After starting from the ground up with Sunnyrose cafe in old town Elk Grove in 2000 its been an uphill battle. 10. To sum up, all we can do is plead our case and ask that we do not put in an expensive denitrification system if we don't need one. Should this place end up being a failure we will have to sell it and the next owner will have to decide what he will do with it. The last two failed and they sold it. If this was going to be such a success story my question is why couldnt both of these last two owners make it? Cal Trans owned this site and sold it in 1963. It was approved for a welding school (SJC) and that fell apart with that owner. The Thompson brothers then bought it with the notion of a gas station and restaurants plus fast food. That also came to naught. I found out all this after we bought it. I've got all the drawings and pictures from them now. Whoops? ( Oops? ) As we hopefully will grow we humbly ask that we expand the septic system as we grow. Lets just leave the room out there and monitor it carefully as we go along. If the base 960 sq. ft. portable bldg costs $40k it will be hard to justify a septic system that costs $40-60k or possibly even more. Our funds wont be able to get this project rolling and could bring a good thing to a quick end. This is not a sob story ...please feel sorry for us attitude that we are trying to pull off on you. You may keep this letter for your records and take us to the law if we transgress. Thank you again for your help and we will help you with all that we can. Please be patient with us as we grow with you. best regards...Sandi, Fran, Brent and Bryan de Jong. ps. we have many references upon request...s. 12/11/2003
