Box 580 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522-0580 RE: Lots 32 & 33, Prospect Industrial Park, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of Colorado Dear Mr. Gloss: As .you are_ aware, .Timberline. Partners,.Ltd.,,.,L.L.L.P,..is the owner of the- above- referenced �property ("Property'•'), Last. year -Timberline Partners,entered..into a contract for'`the` sale of the Property to. Charles B. McNeal and Javier Martinez Campos/Midpoint"De,Mopment,, LLC ("Purchasers"). Under the. contract, the.Purchasers have the right to terminate the contract if they do not receive government approval of their project by April 30, 2001. Timberline Partners recently received notice from the Purchasers that the City is conditioning approval of their development application upon the retention of a Cottonwood tree on Lot 32. Timberline Partners has been further advised that the imposition of that requirement renders the Purchasers' development project economically unfeasible. As a result, the Purchasers have notified Timberline Partners that they intend to terminate their contract to purchase the Property. After careful consideration of the matter, Timberline Partners has decided to remove the existing Cottonwood trees on the Property within seven (7) days of the date of this letter. Timberline Partners understands that it has the legal right to remove the trees from the Property and that it must do so to make the Property marketable. As a courtesy, Timberline Partners is providing notice of its intent to remove the Cottonwood trees. If the City believes that it has some legal right to prevent Timberline Partners from removing the trees, please advise me of the basis of that right and the City's intention to assert that right within seven (7) days of the date of this letter. In the alternative, if the City is interested in purchasing the Property prior to the removal of the trees, please notify me of that fact within seven (7) days of the date of this letter. If I do not receive any response from,you, or from some other representative of City, Timberline Partners will assume that the City agrees that.Timberline Partners has the righf'to remove the trees on the Property, andthat the City --is not.interested in.purc4asigg"the Property
