Today's letter is faxed to document the resolution of issues so the plat can be approved at the May 22 meeting of the Ames City Council. Documents delivered to the City Planning Department on May 15, 2001 are: a) a settlement agreement in LA-CV039518 calling for a"dismissal with prejudice" of the Engelhardt litigation; b) a satisfaction of the Nikkel &Associates Mechanic's Lien; c) a reciprocal easement for ingress/egress that cannot be nullified without the City's consent. Additionally, I procured from the Clerk of Court a copy of the court Order empowering Robert K. Friedrich,Jr.to: "...undertake any and all steps necessary as required under Iowa Chapter 354 to plat the real estate ..." (copy attached). These documents resolve the issues stated in my letter of March 16,2001, except that the Clerk of Court informed me today that the dismissals in "Englehardt" have not yet been filed. Please attend to that matter. I will be checking again before the Council meeting on Tuesday. Yours truly, John R.

(Mortgagees) (2) Nikkel and Associates, Inc. (Mechanic's Lien) (3.) Robert and Sandra Englehart(Lis Pendens) (4) holder of the tax sale certificate; e) for the"Agreement for Sidewalk" a subordination of rights for the same parties as above; f) the consent and dedication must be executed by Donald E. Barber, First Star Bank Iowa, N.A.,Nikkel and Associates,Inc., and Robert and Sandra Englehart, and the holder of the tax sale certificate. Execution of the Consent to plat by Robert K. Friedrich,Jr. on behalf of Donald E.Barber will be accepted if accompanied by a copy of the court order empowering Robert K. Friedrich,Jr. to do so. Also, the City Planner has informed me that as a condition for approval of the plat, there must be a reciprocal ingress/egress easement between the owners of Lots 2, 3 and 4 that also grants to the City the power to nullify any purported agreement for recission of the reciprocal access easement.
