I was at the BOA today around noon.
Susan Walker, who is handling the case, told me(and another person who went earlier) that the hearing had beenrescheduled for November 14.
I have a copy of the request letter from Endeavor, dated October 2.
Could you please forward the note you received from Jamil/Endeavor tothe list serve that relayed this information to you/the NeighborhoodAssociation?
Many Thanks,

We believed that our vision was the same as North Loop's, and

apparently

it was not. As such, regrettably, we have terminated the Howard

contract.

I have copied Kirsten and Eric so they are also in the loop.
I want to thank you and Annie for all of your hard work on this.

Jamil told me after the Monday meeting that he was probably going todrop this project.He requested an extra week from the BOA to give himtime to talk to his colleagues to make a final decision.He promised mehe would have a decision by today, and this is it.
Many people seemed to think this was a negotiation, and a lot of peoplesaid with great confidence that we needed to vote against this variancerequest because it was our only "bargaining chip" to force Endeavor tocontinue to negotiate with us.
Well, that was not the case.This project is over.
Now we have to wait and see who will buy the property next.I can saythat I will be very surprised if the next developer will want to comeand negotiate with us.
Cheers.
