Mr. Sharp responded in the negative. He indicated he believes they should be able to set up a closing at any time. At this time there is nothing to close on because the plat is not final. Jim Corn stated he has been working with Jim Diel in Ramsey Town Center. He explained their hopes are to get the plot finalized so the bank can put the mortgage on the final plat, rather than on the legal description. They have the clearance to close earlier if that will be an issue. City Attorney Goodrich indicated an assigned legal description with the title is needed to issue a building permit. Mr. Corn replied they will work that out with Ramsey Town Center within the week. As far as the fees and escrows, they can take care of the responsibility of the developer, but they cannot speak for Ramsey Town Center. Assistant Community Development Trudgeon noted hopefully the mylars will arrive soon, and once they are received and the City receives payment of the fees they should be able to proceed. This is with the understanding that an allocation agreement and escrow agreement would need to come before the Council for formal approval as they have done in the past. City Attorney Goodrich indicated if the City has the money escrowed they do not need to wait for this to come before the Council.
