RECOM MENDATION: Upon the recommendation of the City Manager, the request of
Mr. & Mrs. Marcus Johnson, regarding the sale of Lots 1 & 2, Alfred Ennis Subdivision,
to MaryL. Clark, for $5, 100, be approved, subject to a reverter clause prepared by the
City Attorney's office, giving Mary L. Clark 40 months from the date of purchase to obtain .
a building permit, etc., as required in previous sales of this property.
ctAnd that the appropriate officials be authorized to execute same.
BACKGROUND: Please observe the attached real estate contract and letter from
Mr. J. Paul Raymond, Attorney for Mary L. Clark.
As stated by Mr. Raymond, the City sold this property to Mr. & Mrs. Johnson
for $5, 100. The deed conveying the property to the Johnsons was dated January 16, 1974,
and contained a stipulation that if a building permit was not obtained within forty (40) months
from the date of sale and construction commenced inunediately thereafter, the property
would revert to the City.
On December 18, 1975, the City Commission approved that the City refund to
the Johnsons the $5, 100 paid for the property, in exchange for a Quit Claim Deed for the
property. This approval was subject to there being a bonafide buyer for the property
from the City at the price of $6,000, and that the Deed conveying the property to the
new own.ers contain the same reverter clause as the previous deed. The above action
was taken by the City as the Johnsons believed they had the property sold for $6.000. This
sale did not materialize and the Johnsons are again trying to dispose of the property.

Re: Lots 1 and 2, Alfred Ennis Subdivision - City of
Clearwater Reverter Clause in Transfer to
Marcus C. Johnson and Willie Pearl Johnson,
his wife
Dear Mr. Weimer:
As your files will reflect, the above-referenced property was
sold to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson on or about January 16, 1974. The City of
Clearwater placed a 40-month reverter clause in the deed conveying the
property, which would be effective if a building permit was not issued
within the time period.
Thereafter, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, realizing they could not
afford construction, attempted to sell the property. As you will note, in
December of this past year, they requested the City to approve a transfer,
and to extend the reverter clause an additional 40 months from the date of
transfer. This was done, but it was done at a time when the Johnsons felt
they had the property sold for $6,000.00. This sale did not materialize.
There now exists an offer on the Johnson property in the amount
of $5,100.00, a photocopy of the executed contract, dated April 29, 1976.
being enclosed for your files.
I would like to request that the City review this contract, that
it be approved and that the City grant Mary L. Clark, a single woman,
an additional 40-months froIYl the date of transfer, just as the City did with
Mr. and Mrs. Johnson. You will note that the contract is conditioned upon
the City's approval in this regard, and that we have until June 30, 1976,
so I would like to request that you advise me of the appropriate action
necessary to bring this matter before the City for review and approval.
