We understand that the two parties interested in having the City deed the 16 foot strip of property are Ken and Donna Benfield, who own Lot 1 of the Mill Hollow Subdivision, and Jay and Jeri Willmore who own Lot 2 of the same Subdivision. Both parties are purchasing from us (under contract), the property directly on the other side of the 16 foot strip that adjoins their lots. It is our suggestion that since both parties are purchasing the additional property from us under escrow agreement; that the City deed the 16 foot strip back to us; we in turn will immediately prepare a quit claim deed to them and put it in escrow to be given them at the same time they have completed payment and are given the deed to the additional property they are purchasing from us. This will protect us in retaining the same access we now have to have access to the property should either party default. If we did not have this protection and had to repossess the property, we would endanger getting future access to it. The 16 foot strip of property under consideration is that strip North and also East of Lot 1 and East of Lot 2 as shown on the official recorded Subdivision map. (See copy of partical map attached) The City might also want to retain and give easements to the City and Utility companies that have made or are planning underground contruc- tion of utilities in the 16 foot strip. Power, water, sewer, and telephone utilities were placed underground about the time the Subdivision was first developed. Natural gas may have been .added since that time. i~ ii i~ We think that this request makes sense and could be carried out without affecting other property owners as the property concerned is at one end of a long 16 foot utility strip and not in the center. We also feel. that it makes sense not to split pr.uperty owned on both sides of the 16 foot strip by the same owner, so we will cooperate in resolving the matter. .Please let me know of how I can be of help and what action the City plans to take. cc: Ken#and Donna $enfield Jay"and Jeri Willmore Sincerely yours, + /~/ > V Robert M.
