PURPOSE:
The Property Management Section of the Engineering and Inspections Department is in the process of selling surplus land consisting of a residential lot located at 1309 Glendale Drive, parcel #0053518. 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 August 21, 2018. The highest bid from Jerry Hare and Lisa Hare 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 B. Ritchy, an independent appraiser, at $6,000. The highest and final bid of $5,100 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 for a planned road improvement project that has since been canceled. It has been determined that there is no longer a municipal need for the property. The total area of the lot is 49,774 Sq. Ft. (1.143 acres). The property is zoned R-3, Residential Single-Family 3.
The accepted sales price surpasses the Department’s policy requiring that sales price be at least 90% of the appraised value of properties.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The proceeds from the sale of this property will be credited to the Sale of Real Estate Proceeds Account #301-1001-01.8616 of the Debt Service Fund.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Property Management Section of the Engineering and Inspections Department recommends that City Council approve and authorize the sale of surplus property located at 1309 Glendale Drive.
