C. As provided in paragraph 4 of the School Site Agreement, Developer was to convey to the County a 4.5 acre site "which will be safe and usable for its intended purpose which is to convey the site to the District for use as a school site." The intended school site is legally described as the School Site Parcel as depicted on the Final Plat of Two Rivers Estates recorded in the records of the Eagle County Clerk and Recorder on May 17, 2002 under Reception No. 795923 (the "School Site Parcel").

All parties further agree that the fact of the landslides and the attendant geologic conditions render the School Site Parcel unusable for its intended purpose and that such adverse geologic conditions cannot be reasonably mitigated. F. The parties have reached an agreement regarding the transfer of substitute property to the District upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
