TO:
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: DAN BLANKENSHIP, CITY AEMINISTRATOR
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL BY WALTER FOSTER ON "SURPLUS" LAND BY BOYS CLUB
Attached is an offer from Walter Foster for the purchase of. the surplus strip
adjacent to the Boys Club which contains an easement. The offer is $10,000 but
contains a conmitment to provide a concrete basketball court and permit joint use of
the parking. The appraisal by the City was for $67,500 although it appears high and
is based upon limited use of the land being acceptable. She sale of land to Foster
would permit a better design on the development whidn had loading areas not requiring
manuevering in the public street.
The decision is up to the Council. It may find the price acceptable with the other
benefits to the City and Boys Club, or it may rejec% the offer ar~ hold on to the
land for some potential future use. The ~unt offered is disappointing but the lan~
has only limited use.
AC~£ION BEFORE COUNCIL:
Accept or reject offer. If &ccepted, the City Attorney should meet with the Boys
Club and Mr. Foster to cbcument the specific commitn~nts.

Dear Friend:
Just received the figures on cementing
and compacting the strip, which will cost
$51,000.00, and $5,000.00 or more for the
basketball court. I will pay $10,000.00
to the City of Tustin for the strip.
The other consideration, I see, they
have a set-back of 9 feet on the 6th street
building plan. That is 9 feet farther back
than my other buildings. I can desigaa a
much better front if the new building is
even with the present building.
You have no doubt noticed that on the
other side of 6th street they do not have
side walks.
If the above does not meet with your
boards approval please let me know and I
will continue with the new plan the city now
has with the parking in front on 6th street.
Sincerely~ ~.,9~-~'~
