Because the <br />Moratorium exempts such projects from its scope, we requested the City issue the building <br />permits necessary for Grocery Outlet to rearrange shelves and install the coolers within the store <br />in order to open and begin saving e the needs of neighborhood residents. <br /> <br />The above notwithstanding, we received a letter from Debbie Pollan. Planning Manager <br />in the City's Conununity Development Department, in which she denied our request stating that <br />the Grocery Outlet is a supermarket because it is over 10,000 square feet. Given that the there is <br />no maximum size requirement for a neighborhood grocery store, we disagree. We therefore <br />request that the City overturn the Planning Manager's decision and permit the Grocery Outlet <br />Neighborhood Grocery store to proceed. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ <br />\ <br /> <br />~'~ <br />Marc . <br />Vice-President of Real Estate <br />Grocery Outlet, Inc. <br /> <br />Michael H.
