City Council Minutes November 8, 1999 Page 3 e remove a few more trees so that the excess parking area could be located closer to the building. He noted that there were over 1200 trees on the site and the removal of trees to accommodate the excess parking area would amount to less than 10 percent. Council member Motin indicated a concern with the language included in item #6 of the "Addendum To Purchase Agreement." The language refers to the property reverting to the seller if construction has not begun before August 1, 2000. Councilmember Motin suggested the city retain the escrow money for having the property off the market for nine months. Mr. Denyes indicated that it is their intention to begin construction well before August 1, but if for some reason this does not happen, the city would still have the interest earned on the purchase price of $350,000. Additionally, the proposed buyers stated their objection to this entire section of the agreement. After discussion by the council, it was the consensus to remove Item # 6 from the "Addendum To Purchase Agreement." It was the consensus of the City Council to accept the purchase agreement and the proposed site plan as presented and to discuss the issue of removing more trees to accommodate the overflow parking lot at a later date. 4.4.
