"Re: Cypress Street - Lou Gerard Motors property exchange
"Dear Mr. Brickwood:
"Recognizing our obligation to be concerned citizens of the Redding
community, and becoming aware, as, a product of.the hearings on the
environmental impact report, of the legitimate concerns of the resi-
cents on Parkview A.venue and those citizens who desire to protect the
natural beauty of.the Sa.cramento River,.:Lou.Ge:rard MotorS wishes to
_. .._ � . _. .. _. ..
he.reby. amend .its.exchang e.offe r s.o.that the.s e :conc e�rn s may. be.allev-
iated. . . .,. . _
"We hereby propose to .delete from the exchange Parcel B of the City
property and that portion of Parcel E which lies south of the north
bank of the Parkview drainage ditch. These modifications of the terms of
exchange will require a survey and certain modifications of the dollar
differences in value between the properties exchanged. I believe you
and I have a general understanding as to these details, so their°precise
def3nition can await refinement in the escrow terms which can be
approved at a subsequent Council Meeting.
"We desire to know today only that the City is committed to the essential
terms of the exchange transaction as modified herein, so that we may
