Specifically, the water sprinkler union has <br />been on strike since this spring, and at this time there is every <br />indication they will remain on strike for several more months. The <br />hardship this creates for us is that our building is nearly completed, <br />as projected, and we have notified our present landlord that we <br />will vacate our present quarters by November 1. He subsequently <br />has rented our quarters and is requiring us to fulfill our obligation <br />and be out by November 1. <br /> <br />Additionally, we are faced with 'interim financing charges of <br />approximately $8500jmonth should our building remain finished (except <br />for the sprinkler system) and uno9cupied. Realistically, we must <br />also anticipate vandalism to the premises should the building remain <br />unoccupied. To date, we have experienced repeated vandalism on the <br />site. <br /> <br />Some of the external factors that make us feel that our request is <br />merited are: <br /> <br />1. We have operated for four years ina building that is without <br />a sprinkler system, and have had no problems. <br /> <br />2. Our long term lender has assured us that they will fund the <br />project, even though the sprinklers are not in operation, <br />because of the unique situation the sprinkler union has placed <br />us in. <br /> <br />3. Our insurance company has also assured us that with a slightly <br />increased premium they will fully insure the building. <br /> <br />\~ <br />\ <br />
