NOEL C. ANDERSON, Community Planning & Development Director CITY OF WATERLOO Committee Communication Building & Grounds Committee Meeting: June 2, 2014 Prepared: May 28, 2014 �._.._ Dept. Head Signature: Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director # of Attachments: 1 SUBJECT: Request by Raymond Hayes to purchase City owned interest in property, parcel id 8913-24-312-017, for $4,000, plus costs. Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director Recommended City Council Action: We ask that the Building & Grounds Committee recommend the property sale be forwarded to full City Council. Summary Statement: The City owns one-third of the interest in the parcel described above. There was some row -dwelling type setup garage units previously located upon this parcel, which have been demolished, that the City took action against to demolition as a blighted structure. The City had one of the units demolished. Through subsequent tax sales, etc. the City gained ownership of the parcel over time, having the demolition lien against the property, and working with the Black Hawk County offices to take ownership for eventual cleanup of the area. While the remaining units have now been demolished by private property owners, the ownership of the parcel is split up between three parties — two of which Mr. Hayes has acquired, and is looking to acquire the City ownership in the site as well. The City views the site as a good redevelopment area long term. Short term, a one- third interest in any parcel would not appear very useful, as nothing could be done against the site without acquiring the other two-thirds. With the inability to use condemnation for economic development purposes, it is the opinion of staff that we should sell the parcel one-third interest at this time, to allow Mr. Hayes the ability to work towards redevelopment. As with other projects in this area, hopefully the City will be able to assist in such redevelopment efforts at a later time. The site is assessed at $70.00. This would appear very low for property within close proximity to Downtown Waterloo and with new projects (CVS, Earth Beauty Supply strip mall, and KWWL) recently completed and/or announced). The offer of $4,000 by Mr. Hayes would appear to be a fair offer. CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Expenditure Required: NA Source of Funds: NA Policy Issue: Sale of Property Alternative: Not sell 1/3 interest in land Background Information: The Franklin Street corridor is a vital corridor within the Waterloo and the City of Waterloo would like to continue to work hard to se it improved. The retaining of a 1/3 ownership in a landlocked parcel would not appear to be needed in the long term redevelopment of this area, and may actually be a hindrance. The sale to Mr. Hayes, who owns the abutting parcel with frontage on Franklin Street, may allow for better redevelopment opportunities.
