WHEREAS, the Properties are accessed through the Ravinia development and White Tail Trail was
platted within the property developed as a part of Ravinia; and
WHEREAS, White Tail Trail was not platted as a dedicated public road and was encumbered by
multiple driveway use/maintenance agreements between the applicable property owners and the City,
which guaranteed the owners of the Properties use of the same to access the Properties until such
access was replaced by a dedicated and accepted public road access, at which time such agreements
could be removed from the title of the Ravinia property (the "Driveway Agreements"); and

Ravinia;

City's acceptance of Bridle Path as a public road is required before the Driveway Agreements can be
removed from title and Lennar now requests that the City endorse the Notice of Acceptance of the
