r November 11, 1997 Page 2 to cost the City attorneys' fees as part of the negotiation process. Then and now, it is hoped that a meeting or telephone coi\ference between you and the City Attorney, on the one hand, and Mr. or Mrs. Whitehead and me, on the other, could quicklv resolve the matter. Even if that effort were to fail, we could not be criticized tor having tried to settle the matter. (I know )’ou or your designated representati\*e cannot speak for the entire Council, but I also believe that if you and tlte Cit>’'s attorney recommended compromise, that reconunendation would be seriously considered.) AH of that said, the Wl-utcheads have given 2.453 acres of their land for w'etland preservation, a corner of their land (Outlet C) for road, and are prepared to pay a reasonable park fee. Their offer of $3,344 is renewed. We ask that this matter again be reviewed by the City Council with its attorney. I am available to discuss this matter in person or by telephone on a moment ’s notice, and w'ould w'elcome the opportunity to better explain myself in a less imposing venue than tlie City Council chambers. We found a solution to the Fullerton problem. I am confident we can find a solution here, too. Assuming we have Coimty approval of the plat by November 17, we plan to appear before the City Council for final plat approval the evening of November 24. Hopefully, the park fee issue can be resolved before that date. If not, we would expect the Council to impose the park fee it has detennined is applicable to the subdivision, and the Whiteheads would have to decide how to proceed from that point. Thank you for your further consideration of this matter. Sincerely, ' Johit B. Winston Enclosure cc: G. Marc and Trac>* Whitehead (473-8278) Thomas J. Barrett (334-88S8) Midtacl P.
