and ordered placed on file. Mr. Hughes recalled that Ordinance No. 811-A123 had
been granted First Reading on December 18, 1978, and that in conjunction with
the rezoning, a new registered land survey for the subject property is being pro-
posed to divide the property into two parcels, with Tract -A being the Perkins
Restaurant and parking lot and Tract B being the proposed office building site.
Mr. Hughes recalled that First Reading was granted subject to the following condi-
tions: 1) that the net leasable floor area of the proposed office building is not
to exceed 40,000 square feet;
in the building; 3) that there be a maximum height limit of four stories; and 4)
that a $16,000 subdivision dedication fee be donated to the City. Mr. Hughes
advised that he has received a declaration of restrictions and protective coven-.
ants for-the parcel but that, because of a problem with the title opinion, he
does not have the necessary signatures on the protective covenants and restric-
tions. He advised further that he has also received an irrevocable letter of
credit for the $16,000 subdivision dedication fee which is proposed to be redeemed
Affidavits of Notice were presented by Clerk, approved as to form
2) that no dental or medical offices be allowed
at the time a building permit is issued for the property or within one year, 83 I
whichever would occur first. Mr. Hughes said that the letter of credit appears
to be in good form excepr that the date to which it would run is shown as June
30, 1979, rather than one yea from the date of the Second Reading of the ord-
inance. He summarized by saying that the conditions imposed by the Council on
December 18, 1978, have been agreed to in form and in concept but that they
have not been executed for final form at this time. Mr. Hughes then presented
the Preliminary Registered Land Survey which includes the Perkins Restaurant site
and the parking lot for the restaurant as Tract A and the office building site
being Tract B. In response to a question of Mayor Van Valkenburg, Mr. Erickson
said that the letter of credit would be payable on the action of the Council at
the end of a year. Kr. Hughes clarified that if the zoning is not used within a
period of one year, the zoning would lapse and that if a year has elapsed before
the building permit is granted, then the letter of credit could be redeemed or
the property rezoned to its original zoning. No further discussion being heard,
Councilman Richards offered the following resolution and moved its adoption, with
the understanding that the City can draw.on the letter of credit on June 30,
1979, or when a building permit is issued, whichever first occurs:
