Re: Application to Purchase Municipal Land at 456 Greenway Road

Dear Director of Land Management,

I am writing to formally express my interest in purchasing a piece of land owned by the City of Hillside, located at 456 Greenway Road. I would like to acquire this parcel for the purpose of developing a community garden that will serve as a green space for local residents.

Background and Reason for Request

As a long-time resident of Hillside, I am committed to enhancing our community’s quality of life and promoting sustainable practices. The specific land at 456 Greenway Road is ideal for a community garden project, which will not only beautify the area but also provide residents with opportunities to grow their own food, engage in environmental education, and foster community bonds.

Proposal and Terms

I am prepared to offer a fair purchase price based on the current market value of the land, with the intention to develop and maintain the garden in accordance with all municipal guidelines. I am also willing to undertake an official appraisal if needed. I would be grateful to discuss any terms and conditions the City might require, as well as any applicable zoning or land use regulations.

Supporting Documentation

Please find attached:

• A detailed proposal for the community garden project, including design plans and projected costs.
• Proof of financial capability, demonstrating my ability to purchase and develop the land.
• A letter of support from local residents and community groups, who are eager to see this project realized.

Next Steps

I am eager to discuss this application with the appropriate city officials and learn more about the procedures for purchasing municipal land. Please let me know if there are any specific application forms or additional documents required. I am available for a site visit or to meet at your earliest convenience to further discuss this proposal.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute positively to the City of Hillside and create a valuable resource for our community.

Warm regards,

Rebecca Lee
