Robert Hoffman, 790 North Arm Drive and Mr. Craig Clark, 780 North Arm Drive. On October 4, 1977, a meeting was held with Mr. Clark, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. James Robin, attorney for Clark . & Hof�man, Mr. Benson, City Administrator, and myself. At that meeting, we asked Mr. Clark & P�Ir. Hoffman if a picture was available to us so that we could see what the property looked like before construction began_ We were told no picture was available. We then net on the site to determine what had to be done. The final determination was to cut a diagonal ramp from the top of the hill to the lakeshore level, upgrade .the lower area and seed and replace a 3" diameter maple tree. I received estimates from contractors and the City offered Clark and Hoffman a cash settlement of $550. This offer was not acceptable to them and an agreement was written by the City Attorney explaining what would be done by the City to restore the property. On i�tay 22, 1978, I met with them to explain that the City was going to do the following: 1. Cut a diagonal slope from the top of the hill to the lakeshore level. After this slope is made, there would be� no seeding or sodding. (Continued)
