re: RM Auctions event — April 17 - 19, 2008
2055 Greenwood Drive, Southlake, Texas
Mr. Comstock,
Thank you for speaking with my colleague Greg Sparling this week regarding RM's upcoming
auction for Wayne Davis at 2055 Greenwood Drive in Southlake, TX. Mr. Davis has sold his
building and RM has been contracted to sell the contents of the building by way of a public
auction. I have outlined our event in the paragraphs below and have attached a diagram of the
area where the auction will be held.
On Friday, April 18, 2008 there will be a preview from l Dam — 5pm for those customers who
have purchased a catalog for this event. We anticipate the attendance of approximately 50-75
customers throughout the day. Friday evening there will be a formal private reception from 7pm
9pm where registered bidders can come and preview the lots for sale. RM is contracting a
licensed catering company to serve beer & wine and pass hor'derves to the bidders.
On Saturday, April 19, 2008 the actual auction will take place inside the building from 9arn —
6prr Mr Davis has requested that the auction not be open to the public but only to interested
paid bidders so we have set the admission at $80, which includes a catalog of the event. Most
customers will have been sent their catalog in the mail prior to the event but there will be a
limited number for sale onsite for $80. It is difficult to predict the exact number of people that
will be in attendance however, based on similar auctions previously held, we anticipate 200-400
coming and going throughout the sale day.

RM is very concerned for the safety of its customers, suppliers & staff and strictly adheres to the
guidelines that are set up by the local and state governments. No automobiles will be driven
inside during the event to eliminate any carbon monoxide and the possibility of an accident. We
also maintain a 3' minimum aisle way in the auction room and have all exits posted. In order to
achieve this it requires us to move some of the lots from inside the building into two tent
structures on the existing parking lot. The approximate size for these two tents are 50 ft. X 150
ft., and 40 ft, X 80 ft.. This will leave plenty of space inside the building to allow customers to
walk freely and not block any exits.
Parking for this event will mainly take place on the vacant lot adjacent Mr. Davis' building. This
lot is owned by Mr. Davis and has room for approximately 250 vehicles and this vacant lot will
more than make up for the parking spaces displaced by the two tent structures. RM.will be
making a donation to one of the local car clubs in exchange for volunteers to assist in parking
customers vehicles. I would also like to make mention of the revenue that will be generated for
the local business community in the way of hotel room accommodations, gas, meals, car rentals,
etc. as a result of the auction being held in Southlake.
I also understand that there is a no sign ordinance that is in effect in Southlake and am requesting
that we be able to place a sign approximately 6' X 10' in front of 2055 Greenwood Dr. (on the
customers property) for the three days to let customers know where the sale is located.
Should you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly at
dspendick rmauctions or on my cell phone 734-730-1936.

It was a pleasure speaking with you today regarding our upcoming auction on April 19`h,
2008, and further to my initial application and letter to you dated December 6t', 2008,1 am
hereby submitting to you an "Automobile" Specific Use Permit along with an additional fee
of $200.00 (check enclosed).
You were very clear in explaining the city's concerns of my parking arrangements for
people attending the auction and as a result, we have made arrangements for the use of
parking lots of neighboring businesses. With the auction taking place on a Saturday, the
use of these existing parking spaces Is not an issue with the neighboring property owners.
The parking lots of these immediate neighboring properties combine for a total of 160
parking spaces, which would be adequate for the projected attendance. Should you
require letters from area businesses confirming the use of their parking lots, we would be
happy to obtain them. We would hire parking attendants to direct traffic into designated
parking areas and we would also plan for a secondary off -premises parking lot, with
shuttle, should we reach the primary lot's capacity.
Also, I would like to point out that this auction will absolutely NOT be accepting outside
consignments. Mr. Wayne Davis, who owns all the items that we will be selling, specifically
made it clear to us that he would not welcome the "competition" of other items being sold
at his auction, and as a result, we will be selling his items only.
In closing, we look forward to working with you to conduct this event on April 19'h as it
would benefit not only our client's requirements, but it would also generate revenue for
the local business community, not to mention the taxes collected on the sale of this
collection.
Best Regards,
Dan Spendick

re: RM Auctions event - April 17 -19, 2008

Mr. Comstock,
Further to my previous letters, please find attached a site plan of the vacant
lot across the street from the event site that not only details the parking
spaces but also shows the trees that will be fenced off, obviously with the
protection of plant4ife in mind. A written agreement from the adjoining
property owner will be obtained confirming no objection of the use of this
land for parking for the event.
Should the vacant lot become full during the event, our parking attendants
will direct traffic into the parking lots of neighboring businesses. The
auction takes place on a Saturday and as a result, these businesses will be
closed. We will obtain written permission from these businesses for the
use of their parking lots.
In closing, RM Auctions is very conscientious about traffic safety, the
environment, local businesses and for the community as a whale. We will
make every effort to ensure that this event makes a positive impact in
Southlake.
Sincerely,
Dan Spendick
