PURPOSE:
The Property Management Section of the Engineering and Inspections Department is in the process of selling surplus land consisting of a residential multi-family lot located at 4502 Sellers Avenue, Parcel #0030055. It has been determined that there is no municipal need for the property. City Council approval is requested to proceed with the sale of the property to the highest bidder.
BACKGROUND:
Property Management has advertised this property since May 2, 2017. The highest bid from The HEN Group, LLC was accepted in accordance with Section 4:122 of the City Code of Ordinances, "Sale of real property by advertisement for bid". The property was recently valued by Lynn Ritchy, an independent appraiser, at $128,000. The highest and final bid of $115,200 was accepted and advertised in the News & Record with a 10 day upset period. This upset period has expired with no further bids.
The property was acquired by a commissioner's deed through the foreclosure process. It has been determined that there is no municipal need for the property. The total area of the lot is 205,167 Sq. Ft. (4.71 acres). The property is zoned RM-12, Residential Multi-family 12.
The accepted sales price surpasses the Department's policy requiring that sales price be at least 90% of the appraised value of properties.
