Re:
Application to Purchase City-Owned Parcel Adjacent to Stubbs Bay
Mr. Barnhart:
This is a follow-up to my December 3, 2015 letter to you regarding my purchase of the Subject Property (as referred to in my earlier letter). After I sent my earlier letter, you suggested
that the City would favor the small, neighboring parcel of land I own – with PIN 05-117-23-24-0023 (the “Small Parcel”) – also being part of this transaction. If I transferred the
Small Parcel to the City, it would help the City further resolve the confusing title issues in the area. It would also eliminate the problem of the Small Parcel breaking up the City’s
contiguous ownership of all the land in the boxed area shown on the attached map, bordered by Stubbs Bay and the Park Street and Bayside Road rights-of-way.
Upon considering the matter, I am agreeable to transferring the Small Parcel to the City, in addition to granting the easements referred to in my December 3rd letter, provided the City
accepts my $25,000 offer for the Subject Property. I am willing to convey the Square Parcel to the City, without separate compensation, because it furthers the mutual objective the
City, my neighbor and I have with this transaction – to bring clarity to the ownership, access and title issues in this area near Stubbs Bay.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need further information.
Sincerely,
Jake Barkley
