From A/l ,6, Co. /Dept. Co. Phone # Phone # Fax # -- Fax # I received your February 25, 1995 letter outlining your proposed solutions to the survey problems on the 11 -15 First Avenue NE buildings. Instead of a quiet deed action or claiming adverse possession on the south property, you apparently chose to split ownership of the 13 ft. gap with the adjoining owners (the Keltner's). Since the Keltner's claimed they only owned to the fence line and their titlework disclosed no right to the 13 ft. gap, I am at a loss why you chose this approach. Bill Olsen, President of Hamilton Title, and I pointed out to you that this would not be a suitable solution. Although the proposed 6.5 ft. would then allow the actual building to reside within the boundaries of the lot, the central air conditioning unit would not. Further, since the building does not have any parking, my intention, from the first notification of the City's intent to sell, was to turn the 13 ft. grassy area into one parking space. Of course, that could not now occur without my negotiating with the Keltner's and compensating them for something that all bidders were led to believe was part of the parcel to begin with. Also, in your letter you referred to the City of Carmel conveying "all rights to the right -of -way, First Avenue NE or reflected as Main Street on the survey." On the survey I provided you, Main Street is not mentioned and these buildings are one -half (1/2) block north of Main Street, so I do not understand your statement. Considering I have fulfilled all the requirements set forth in the bid notice, have pointed out problems affecting the sale of the property, provided solutions to those problems, and have acted in good faith, I believe no fault can be attributed to me for not closing this purchase. For nearly six months the City of Carmel has held my $12,550 deposit. I awaited patiently for the deed problems to be solved. I have given my banker excuse after excuse, week after week, on why we could not close. To be approved for the mortgage loan, I had to spend $1,000 to pay for a 26 -page commercial appraisal and $947 for a survey to prove to you there were problems. At this point, I cannot devote any more time to this project. I have passed on other real estate opportunities simply because I was tying up my line of credit that was committed to this purchase. I can no longer wait on some future closing day. Mr. Gordon Byers - 2 March 10, 1995 Therefore, since the City of Carmel could not sell the property as stated, I am notifying you that I no longer want to be considered the purchaser. Please inform me in writing where I can pick up my deposit check. Also, since the City is responsible for not closing this transaction within thirty (30) days after the City Council approved the sale, I respectfully request I be reimbursed the $1,000 for the bank appraisal and $947 for the survey.

Range Line Road Carmel, IN 46032 Dear Mr. Keen: I have reviewed your correspondence dated March 10, 1995 with the Mayor as well as various members of the disposing agent, the Carmel Board of Public Works and Safety. Without addressing all of the issues in your letter, I can clearly say that your engineering survey that was provided to me, defined two (2) potential problems; one being located on First Avenue N.E. concerning access which has been resolved. I have conferred with your title company, specifically Mr. Olsen, in person, and indicated that we are prepared to transfer access to First Avenue N.E. and remove the seven (7) foot exception. Mr. Olsen indicated directly to me that that was satisfactory to him and he would be happy to insure over it. In addition, I conferred with Mr. Olsen concerning the issue raised by the deed gap which is indicated on your survey and, for your information, the deed gap has nothing to do with what you thought or what you understood. The legal description of the real estate that was advertised is exactly what is going to be conveyed. Also, the city, in preparation of splitting what appears to be an alley from the tax records with the adjoiner is prepared to do so and I have conferred with Mr. Olsen and he has indicated that that was satisfactory to him. So, whatever your subjective determinations of what was part of the parcel to begin with, I have no idea. The parcel is reflected exactly as advertised and as depicted in the survey. h l 7r C I I I T C C 1 till rrW,T r n ,tnmtnn * r , r , „ -„ -, Mr. Mike Keen April 4, 1995 Page 2 In addition, the city has conferred with your title representative based upon the title insurance and your survey to resolve any issues raised by that and we have done so to his satisfaction. Whether or not it satisfies you, 1 presuppose is not my obligation. However, the city is prepared to transfer back your deposit to you upon execution of a release and we will resell the real estate to a subsequent purchaser. Please contact my office and we will schedule the execution of the release and the return of your deposit to you.

Owner: City of Carmel Tenant: N/A Legal Description: Part of the Northwest Quarter of Section 13, Township 18 North, Range 4 East, known as Careys Addition, Parcel Number 10- 30- 09 -05- 004.00 Lot Size: 132 X 75.5 feet, corner lot. Purpose of Appraisal: The purpose of this appraisal is to estimate the fair market value of the subject property, the fair market value of the part taken as permanent land, building improvements; the cost -to -cure items of physical damage to the residual, if any; and the amount of compensation for use of temporary or provisional right -of -way. The interest appraised is Fee Simple Estate unless otherwise stated. I hereby certify that I have inspected the real estate appraised and I have also reviewed and made inspections of the comparable sales relied upon in making said appraisal. The subject of comparable sales relied upon in making the data was reviewed by me. That to the best of my knowledge and belief, the statements contained are true and the information upon which the opinion expressed herein are correct subject to limited conditions set forth herein. That my opinion of fair market value for the property and improvements, as of the 26th day of August, 1994, which is the effective date, is $63,000.00. Date: August 26, 1994 d 1. Description of Improvements: Approximately 2000 square feet, free standing one story building built approximately in 1981. Asphalt shingles, concrete slab, no bath, room dimensions 2434, one office, gas heat, central air. General condition - good. Second building: 1272 square foot concrete block and frame, galvanized gutters, gas heat, air. General condition - good. 2. Highest and Best Use: The reasonable legal use of the vacant land which is physically possible, appropriate, supported, financially feasible on that results in the highest use. Taken into consideration were the physical characteristics of the land and it was determined by the Department of Community Development that the real estate is zoned B -1 Business District. It appears that . the highest and best use would be to remodel or update the building to make it comparable to other similar type office buildings in the area. There does appear to be a need for office space in Carmel and that would indicate to be the highest and best use of the property. I have reviewed information supplied to me by Meid Compton based upon his cost approach calculations, as well as his income approach calculations for the property and I concur with that data. While it is recognized that there are certain rentals taking place with respect to this building, the rentables are de minimis and not taken into consideration in my appraisal. 3. I have reviewed the zoned district information and I have enclosed that in my review as well as the Hamilton County Assessor's information card which I have enclosed and it has become part of my appraisal. 4.
