He explained that the present owner of the northernmost property, Heinrich Loos, is selling the property and has made two proposals to the city, (1) that the city purchase the strip of land from him for $3,500 or (2) that he deed the strip to the city with the stipulation that the city would not issue a building permit for development of the lot on the east side until he has been reimbursed for a portion of the water and sewer cost.
