RE: Tract 31020 Request for Street Name Change For Cosmopolitan Lane
Dear Sirs and Madame,
I am the Manager of Knightswood Ventures LLC ("Knightswood"). On April 4, 2013, Mario
Gonzales wrote on behalf of Knightswood to request a street name change in respect of Tract
31020 proposing to change the name of Cosmopolitan Lane to Signature Lane. This resulted in
City Council resolution 2013-17 date May 9, 2013, whereby it was resolved that this proposed
street name change be heard by City Council at a public hearing on June 13, 2013.
Please be advised that Knightswood is withdrawing and cancelling its request for the street
name change. Knightswood is content that the street name for Tract 31020 remain as
Cosmopolitan Lane. As such, Knightswood requests that you cancel the June 13, 2013 public
hearing in respect of this matter.
We kindly ask that you confirm to me by email at stuart @westmount-propeties.com or by fax
at 760-200-5989 that the consideration of the street name change has been formally
withdrawn in the City's files and that the June 13, 2013 public hearing has been cancelled.
If you need to reach me by phone, I am available at 760-200-5989.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
