ATTORNEYS AT LAW 118 EAST MAIN ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 Part of Lot 1, Auditor's Subdivision Number 30 (Anoka County, Minnesota), (the "Property") Enclosed please find the following regarding the above: Copy of certificate of survey dated November 5, 1987, Proposed legal description for property to be conveyed. Robert J. Hunt is the owner of the above-referenced Property. He proposes to sell .89 acres of the Property to the City of Ramsey for $4100.00, and simultaneously obtain an administrative subdivision of the Property so we can record a contract for deed from Robert J. Hunt to T & G Land, Inc. The .89 acre tract is outlined in yellow on the enclosed survey and is adjacent to land purchased by the City of Ramsey in 1997. In 1988 Robert J. Hunt had an obligation to sell the .89 acre tract to Dickenson, your predecessor in interest. That obligation was never fulfilled because Dickenson did not pay the taxes on that tract. Dickenson was also obligated to pay all attorney fees and costs for the subdivision. The $4100.00 sale price represents a pro rata portion of the real estate taxes for the years 1989 through 1999 ($3537.69), plus Hunt's attorney fees and costs. We computed taxes first by dividing .89 acres by 6.62 acres, the size of the whole parcel. The .89 acre tract is 13.44% of the Property. We then multiplied 13.44% by taxes on the estimated market value of the land only. We excluded taxes on structures on the Property from our calculations as there are no structures on the .89 acre tract. JAMES M. NE[LSON FELIX A. MANNELLA ROBERT F. MANNELLA GARY T, LAFLEUR THOMAS A.
