Re: 10=/- acres at Northeasterly Corner of Rea and Colony Rds. –
Mecklenburg County tax parcel # 211-241-05
Dear Dan:
As you probably know the referenced property is designated as a future
shopping center site in the South Mecklenburg District Plan. We have
selected a developer who plans to proceed with rezoning soon. We
understand that the Historic Landmarks Commission is interested in
preserving the Grier-Rea house located on the property. Therefore, we
propose the following:
The Grier-Rea house will be donated to you if you agree to remove the
house from the property on or before August 31, 2002 and if you agree to
not take any action to have the house declared "historic" until
after it is moved. We can offer you a site for relocation of the Grier-Rea
house on a part of tax parcel 211-593-15 across Rea Rd. (see map). The
site will have approximately 100 ft. of road frontage and will be
approximately 218 ft. deep (about 0.5 acre). It would be your
responsibility to obtain a boundary survey of the site for seller’s
approval and to assure that the site meets all subdivision and zoning
requirements for the intended use. The offered price for the site is
$125,000. Please note that the site is currently leased until July 31,
2002 and the lessee has the right of first refusal to purchase.
This proposal is offered as a means to preserve the Grier-Rea house
while allowing us to proceed with the development of our property. We
request your support of our rezoning effort.
Sincerely,
Jane R. Clute, coexecutrix of the Estate of Thomas Leon Rea
Thomas H. Rea, coexecutor of the Estate of Thomas Leon Rea
