~ S~® cars, total approximately 35 cars. ~iVe would need your permit to remove the present house to some suitable location elsewhere (presum- ably outside of the Village of Falcon Heights), and to grade and blacktop the area and. use it for free narking. Per. 3yfolk is al- ready interested in selling and has already been looking for another house. I will be willing to offer whatever price any board of suitable "Experts" designated by you, may state to be a "fair nrice.'~ I would remove the building and improve and use the lot for parking as early as possible next spring. Meanwhile, of couY~se, we could improve and use the bank lot right away, before cold weather (If you now act promptly on this matter). If for some reason, iv~r. Hyfolk should be unwilling to sell at any reasonable price, and if in that event you shawl acquire that property by condemnation, I will be willing to pay the price de- termined in the condemnation award, together with-the costs of the proceedings." The above program will dive your community more and better narking than it now has, or hitherto has had. This compromise will per- manently eliminate any demand for a service station permit on the corner lot 6, presently vacant. I have already pointed out to you that the change in occupany of the Falcon Corporation property (from National Tea to Hill Brothers) will substan tially reduce the need for parking. The new narking to be provided as outlined. above, will be ver,,T suitable for tenant and employee parking as well as customers. This offer and covenant by me, however, must be conditioned on your prompt, favorable action at your next meeting on Thursdays October 8th. Cur premises remain vacant, although the taxes con- tinue. If you delay longer, the new tenant, Hill Brothers, cannot get occupancy in reasonable time before Christmas, (Of course, no new tenant wants to take occupancy in December ar January or February). Buts if you wive the necessary favorable action a t your next meeting on Thursday, October 8th, we can promptly proceed with the complete elan as herein outlined to you, and we will fully and faithfully perform under and abide by that plan. I sincerely be- lieve (and I am assured that t~,Rr. Allen agrees with me) that this offer is both reasonable and generous, and is for the welfare of the Village and of +he entire community." There eras a general discussion after the above le+„„ter was read during which ^.~fayor Nilsen bointed out that the Village would expect Rees to provide screening between the Bifolk property and the adjoining property and Mr. Rees agreed to provide such screening. After discussion, Utechtmoved the adoption of the following reso- lution: RESCLVEDs That the offer of Douglas Rees as set out in his letter dated September 6th on the first page and 10~6~59 on the second page, to the iiillage of Falcon Heights, relating to parking arrangements, be accepted by the Village of Falcon Heights; and that the Building Inspector be authorized to issue the requested building permit for a 50' x 107' addition to the farmer National Tea Building.
