Re: HCCH Convalescent Center -- Settlement
Dear Mr. Garganese:
Enclosed are the revised drafts of the Settlement Agreement and Contract for Sale and Purchase
we have been discussing. It includes a two-phase Due Diligence Period that totals 90 days.
We have now verified with the various consultants who worked on the permitting that the 7.7
acre tract includes 3.2 acres of developable uplands and 4.5 acres of jurisdictional wetlands, as flagged
by Booker Grey Environmental Inc., and confirmed by the SJRWMD after a site visit in April or May,
2000. The February, 2000 appraisal was conducted prior to the wetlands determination and was based
on an incorrect assumption that the site contained fewer buildable acres.
HCCH will make arrangements to begin marketing the property for sale to a third party
purchaser immediately.
We will deliver to Mr. McLemore on Monday, July 2nd, as many of the site investigation reports
that we are able to obtain prior to that time. These reports will allow the City's staff to get a head start
on its due diligence; although the formal Due Diligence Period will not begin to run until the Settlement
Agreement and Contract are executed. It is my understanding that the site plan and/or set of
construction drawings for the convalescent center that were previously delivered to the City depict the
wetland jurisdictional line.
My partner, Mike Ryan, will be handling this matter for me while I am out of my office. Please
contact him later today or early Monday morning so that the documents can be put in a form that you

and Mr. McLemore will recommend for approval by the City Commission. I sincerely hope that you or
Mr. McLemore will be able to meet individually with each of the Commissioners in advance of the City
Commission hearing on July 9th to encourage their support for the settlement on the terms that will be
reflected in the Settlement Agreement and Contract for Sale and Purchase to be presented at the hearing.
While I am away, Mike Ryan will keep me apprised ofthe status ofthis matter via voice mail.
Thank you for your assistance.

convalescent center for the homeless on the Property; and
WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen between HCCH and the City
regarding use of the Property for the purposes intended by HCCH; and
WHEREAS, it is the mutual desire of HCCH and the City to settle and
resolve their disputes and avoid the prospect of protracted and costly litigation.
NOW, THEREFORE, for mutual promises set forth herein and for other

4. Stay of Appeal Proceedings. On June 14, 2001, HCCH filed an
administrative appeal from a decision by the City's Development Review
