Well, the "investments" have <br /> already been made, and quite some time ago at that. Having entered into <br /> agreements with the owner that Lot 4 shall be a commercial lot, the City is now <br /> saying Lot 4 will be a public street. <br /> In effect, Lot 4 has already been taken by the City, so we request that the <br /> reality of the situation be recognized by the adoption of the proposed <br /> Ordinance Amendment, and that we proceed to finding away for the City to pay <br /> just compensation to the owner for the taking that has already occurred, the <br /> taking that will be formally recognized with passage of the requested Ordinance <br /> Amendment. <br /> We would oppose the adoption of the Ordinance Amendment, if we <br /> thought that that would benefit the owner, but no matter what we say or do, it <br /> seems clear to us that the street connection is coming. Accordingly, let's That <br /> being the case, we are resigned to the adoption of the proposed Ordinance <br /> Amendment, and ask that just compensation be paid to the property owner. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to present the property owner's position <br /> and his request for just compensation. <br /> 4 <br />
