June 9, 1992 <br /> Page 2 <br /> 3. Golden Gardens Park - We feel a public park at the end <br /> of Golden Gardens Street, north of Jessen Street, would be an <br /> ideal buffer between the residential area and our golf course. <br /> The City has promised area residents a public park for many <br /> years. This exchange provides the means to produce that much - <br /> needed facility. <br /> 4. We, the sellers, or our developers would be responsible <br /> for solving any environmental problems and for any appraisals <br /> that may be required to facilitate the exchange or obtain <br /> permits. <br /> We agree to the above items subject to our following concerns of <br /> the political consideration involved in our project. <br /> We certainly understand and respect budget constraints and the <br /> burden they place on local government today. However, we will <br /> need the City's political support and the support of the City's <br /> staff to help us through various governmental agencies from whom <br /> necessary approvals must be obtained. <br /> We and our developers are willing to pay for the necessary costs <br /> of the permit process, the development of the park as noted in <br /> our letter of May 14th, and the cost of developing the golf <br /> course, but we are going to need the City's endorsement of the <br /> project and staff assistance as noted above. <br /> We realize that some of the support we require may have some <br /> conditions attached. If the City has any other conditions, we <br /> IP request that they be established immediately so we may all be <br /> assured we are working to the same end: The development of a <br /> public golf course. <br /> It was our understanding on Friday, that, subject to the <br /> Counsel's approval, the golf course is our mutual objective. To <br /> that end, we trust the Council will consider the suggestions and <br /> terms herein offered and will assist us to accomplish this mutual <br /> goal. <br /> We hope to meet with the City Counsel on June 17, and we trust <br /> the following will be the result: <br /> • <br /> 1. That we receive the Counsel's preliminary support <br /> subject to the four conditions mentioned above. <br /> 2. That we be advised at the meeting on June 17 if there <br /> will be any additional conditions, other than those addressed <br /> herein, to gain Council support. If there are other conditions <br /> we would like to know what they are at the meeting. <br />
