REGULAR MEETING FEBRUARY 17,' 1976 It is with this in mind that the following is respectfully requested: 1) That the City would agree to lease that portion of land previously acquired to Landmark of INdiana; Inc. for $1.00 per year.J 2) That the.leased property would be allowed to be improved with landscaping and additional parking facilities. 3) That should the Michigan -Marion Street connector become a reality on this location, the lease may be terminated. I believe the above can be of mutualbenefit. The City will have an attractive, well maintained improvement on an other- wise dormant piece of land. It will also be available for its intended use whenever that may occur. On the other hand, the Ifemorial Professional Building will benefit ---by the additional landscaping and parking while being able to control the maintenance of that property directly in front of the balance of the corner. It is understood that the cost of these iraprovements would be borne by the lessee. Thank you for your attention to this request.; Sincerely yours, LANDMARK OF INDIANA, INC. s/ James P. Conboj7, Jr. Mr. Farrand said he saw no objection in letting Mr. Conboy maintain this area as long as the lease provides for termination when the City needs the land. Mr. Mullen asked how big the parcel of land is. Mr. Farrand said it is crescent -shaped and about 7000 square feet. Mr. Mullen then asked about the timetable for possible City need for the land. Mr. Farrand said it would be at least two years away. Mr. Farrand made a motion that the Board approve the request and refer it to the City Attorney's Office for preparation of the lease. Mr. Brunner said he would recommend that approval be contingent upon coming up with a satisfactory lease agreement. Mr. Farrand amended his motion to sav that the Board approved the request, subject to a satisfactory lease agreement being prepared. Mr. Brunner seconded the amended motion. Gene Evans, Civic Planning Association, questioned whether the $1.00 figure was a reasonable one. Mr. Farrand said Mr. Conboy would landscape the area and there would be a blacktopped parking area. He said, since the City would not be responsible for mowing the weeds and maintaining the lot, he did not think the figure was unreasonable. The question was called and the motion carried.
