To Whom It May Concern:

Please accept this letter as an approval letter re the above on behalf of the Mayfair Business Association (“MBA”), Mayfair Civic Association (“MCA”) and Mayfair Community Development Corporation (“MCDC”). We have had the opportunity to meet with a representative, developers and an attorney for the above establishment and we approve a zoning variance for this business. Wawa has made a commitment to bettering our Mayfair Community by sponsoring several events and agreeing to many provisos such as beautifying the exterior of the property, moving the trash receptacle from the south side of the building to the north side of the building, moving deliveries from the south side of the building to the north side of the building and changing the design of the exterior of the property to a brick and stone façade on the lower portion, as seen in the attached photograph, to reflect the rowhome look of our Mayfair Neighborhood.

Therefore, based upon the above provisos, we approve any variances associated with this business which we believe will be an asset to our community.

Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have.

Sincerely,
