Attention: Mr. William C. Baldwin
Re: NWC Elm Street & Pio Pico at 1-5
Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the irregularly shaped parcel of land located at the
captioned corner, owned by the City of Carlsbad, together with a strip of
land along the westerly boundary, to be acquired by the City from the State
Division of Highways. Said property is ^depicted on a plat marked Exhibit
"A" and attached hereto.
It is understood that the City has not yet declared this property avail-
able for sale. When the subject property is made available for sale, it is
the opinion of the undersigned that the highest and best use for the pro-
perty will be for a service station.
As a result of the progress being made on the widening of 1-5 and the fact
that Mrs. Greenwood has terminated her life estate on a portion of the pro-*"
perty, it would seem that now would be an excellent timet to make this proper-
ty available for sale.
If the City concurs with the above, the Humble Oil 8t Btefining Company is
prepared to submit a bid offer to purchase subject property for a sum in
excess of $200,000.00, subject to the following conditions:
(1) Proper zoning for service station use.
(2) Clear title.
X3) Unencumbered access to Elm Avenue and to Pio Hco.
CO Final approval by Humble Management.
It is, of course, understood that the City will require reasonable archi-
tectural control and will allow signing competitive with the three other
stations located at this interchange.
Yours very truly,
3LE
