<br />couldn't have known about the City's vision when he purchased the property <br />since it didn't exist at that time. <br />. Regarding the tank removal on the triangle property: originally we thought the <br />tanks were filled with water and could be left in place, but subsequent evaluations <br />proved otherwise. The estimate that we received was based on no soil <br />remediation - however, once the tanks were uncovered it was discovered that they <br />had been leaking, which required quite a bit of soil remediation. This <br />substantially increased the cost, but eliminated an environmental hazard. <br />. The City does have a lien note on Garson's property between the Alamo building <br />and the Texas Parks and Wildlife building for $28,916 (the cost of removing the <br />tanks that were discovered on his property that were impacting the Town Plaza <br />development). In addition, there is a lien for $19,000 on the property behind the <br />Alamo building for the costs associated with demolishing the old apartment <br />building. <br />· Regarding the Alamo lease: the La Porte Development Corporation has yet to <br />pay any lease amounts since the building is still not ready for occupancy and will <br />probably exercise their option to sublease the building, substantially reducing, or <br />eliminating, the lease costs over time. <br />· Originally we had anticipc;lt~d putting the Sylvan Beach Art League in the Alamo <br />building.
