Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends the City Commission select a buyer from the two bids submitted for the purchase of City owned vacant land located adjacent to 1102 East Line Street.

 

Analysis:

On May 29, 2012 the City Commission authorized staff to request bids for the sale of the vacant property located on East Line Street.  The City acquired the property by certificate of title on September 16, 2010.  The City has two competing bidders for the subject property.  The two bidders are Laurencia C. Unanue, Trustee (bid amount $12,000) and Fredrica Mack (bid amount $12,250). 

 

The property dimensions are 50’ x 218’ and adjacent to a single family home.  The property is currently zoned R-1 Residential, and deemed a buildable lot.  The Eastside community has expressed interest in having more affordable housing in the area.  The Lake County Property Appraiser has assessed the value of the land at $3,450.  In addition, an appraisal was conducted and the value placed on the subject property was $6,500. 

 

The City assumed several expenditures to acquire the subject parcel such as: $1,450.25 (property tax assessment), $225 (appraisal) and $300 (survey) or a total of $1,975.25.

Options:

  1. Approve the City Commission recommended bidder; or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate.  

 

Fiscal Impact: 

The proceeds of the sale will be deposited into the General Fund. The acquisition of this property incurred $1,975.25 in expenses.
