-2- <br />M <br />It was not until September of 1991, when the property tax <br />bills were sent, that we became aware that the county was <br />expecting property taxes on the lots. At that time we <br />applied promptly to the County for an exemption. Note that <br />we did apply in the calendar year in which the property taxes <br />were levied as required by the statute. <br />There has been much correspondence on the matter since the <br />original application and enclosed is a set of copies of my <br />letters. On October 7, 1991, Kermit Lloyd denied our request <br />for two reasons - -- first, he understood we were merely a <br />construction corporation and second, our application was <br />untimely. Since that October 7 letter we have been working <br />to convince the county staff that we are a non -- profit <br />focussed on providing homes to low and moderate income <br />people. That has been accomplished. The only remaining <br />barrier is a decision as to whether or not we have shown good <br />cause for a late application for exemption. <br />We need your support on getting the Orange County <br />Commissioners to approve our appeal. Please let me know if <br />you need further information (W- 919 - 968 -3540, H- 919 -266- <br />2032). <br />Sincerely, <br />I f I <br />Cra ford Crenshaw <br />General Manager <br />Culbreth Park <br />i <br />
