Bremer asked whether the applicant is fine with an escrow. Sather indicated he is. McMillan asked whether there needs to be any language in the resolution regarding the buildings located on the property line. Curtis indicated she could add language to that effect if it is not already included in the resolution. Curtis indicated Staffs concern relates to the buildings that cross the property line and that those should be removed. Curtis asked whether those buildings could be removed prior to final plat approval. Sather indicated they cannot remove them since they do not yet own the property. • Mattick stated the City has done similar agreements like this in the past and that there are provisions that can be included in the resolution stating the applicant is required to escrow a certain amount of money and to remove the buildings within a year of final plat agreement or the City has the right to come in and . remove them. Once the buildings are torn down, the escrow would be refunded. Bremer commented in her view that is a good resolution.
