Ho, the tenant and owners of Unit9015 in Building 999, Based upon the lawsuit brought by Amy ‘Vu and Cuong Vu it has been made apparent that the Board.of Directors for the Association has failed miserably to meet its responsibilities to manage the Condominium complex, instead delegating its duties and responsibilities to David Alvarado of Matrix Association Management. Itis ironic that Amy Vu, who filed the lawsuit.claiming that it was the Board's responsibility to manage the complex, was at one time amember of the board and resigned on July 15,2015, complaining that every board meeting was.cancelled during her brief tenure on the board and that the board was not managing Mr. Alvarado, it was the other way. around. She knew from her own'personal experience that the board had abandoned all responsibility for the complex and delegated its resonsibilties to Mr. Alvarado. Based on the foregoing it is our belief that Mr. Alvarado, orally , in emails and by his conduct and actions, approved'the use of Unit 9015 as a restaurant on behalf of the Association. However, we are including with this letter a copy of the plans for the San Francisco Pizza restaurant, which have already been approved by the City of San Jose, and request that the Board formally approve Unit 9015, pursuant to Exhibit D of the Declaration, as a restaurant. @ Vietnam Town Condominium Owners Association Board Members October 17, 2017 Page 2 As is set forth above, we firmly believe that this approval has been given by Mr. Alvarado, which approval our clients have relied upon and spent in excess of $450,000 in having plans drawn, applying for permits, building out the restaurantand advertising the business. We ask that this approval be given within fifteen days (15) of the date of this letter. If we do notreceive a response within fifteen days, we will file suit for declaratory relief and for damages for negligent misrepresentation. We will have no choice but to join in the lawsuit all of the other restaurants at the complex to assure that they also have been or will be given approval by the Board to operate as a restaurant, including Units 9042 and 9045 that we believe were combined as one Unit without Board approval. It is our hope to avoid the expense and time consumption of a lawsuit through a negotiated resolution. We are dpen.to a mediation being held with all Unit owners present to resolve these issues throughout the complex. The lawsuit with Mr. and Mrs. Vu was settled-without disclosing the'specific terms. There was a vague referenceto a gas line being provided by the Association to Mr. and Mrs. Vu. We have verified with Pacific Gas & Electric Company that once a gas meter has been connected to a gas line and has been tested and approved by the City of San Jose, the meter and gas line are no longer the property of the Association but-instead are the property of Pacific Gas & Electric Company and the owner of the Unit to which the line is connected. Should anyone tamper with the meter and/or line connected to Unit 9015, we will immediately take action to report this to Pacific Gas & Electric Co, and to file suit for trespass and damages, We look forward to receiving your response to this letter within the next fifteen days.
