This notice is being provided pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Stipulated Agreement in Civil No. 731/79 (“Stipulated Agreement”), which states, in pertinent part: “Said right and permission, however, shall be at the pleasure of the Government, terminable at any time with not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice.” Although the Government has identified an alternate use for the property, the vacant land area in Parcel No. 3, located behind the Church, shall remain vacant and unimproved, and the Church shall retain access through Parcel No. 3 to the church structure. Additionally, the Church may perform repairs or maintenance to the Church from said vacant land area as necessary, as provided in the Stipulated Agreement. The Government requests that the Church provide written communication via email to property@dpp.vi.gov of any planned repairs and maintenance at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the commencement of said repairs and maintenance, so that the Government may provide notice to and coordinate with other users of this shared property, as necessary. In the case of an emergency, however, reasonable notice under the circumstances shall be sufficient.
