<br />
<br />the City Manager recommending
<br />~attonsville development area
<br />
<br />adoption of a resolution to transfer
<br />to the Portsmouth Redevelopment and
<br />
<br /> "The Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authority has requested that Parcel #8, owned b
<br />the City, be transferred to the Authority to complete PRHA disposition Parcel ~29 for marketin
<br />
<br /> Parcel ~29 (PRHA designation) is located on Ballard Avenue in the Hattonsville develop-
<br />ment area. It consists of Parcels 8, 8.3, 9, 10 and 11 on Plate 563, this being the tract
<br />assembled from a land trade/sale transfer between the City, PRHA an~ Southern Space Industrial
<br />La~y' (See Attachment A & B).
<br />
<br /> The transfer of Parcel ~8, owned by the Slay, ~o ERHA would consummate our plans to
<br />consolidate fragmented small parcels into one favorable site to market for industrial reuse.
<br />The ultimate site in public control would contain .885 acres, large enough to permit develop-
<br />ment. In fact, there is interest in purchase and development of the site.
<br />
<br /> Under this arrangement the City would receive a share of the net land sales proceeds
<br />proportional ~o the percentage of the site presently owned by the City. Because of the
<br />en~K~n~4.~ marketing benefits PRHA would derive by this transfer and the resulting development
<br />site for industrial reuse, it is recommended that the City transfer Parcel #8 to PRHA £or
<br />disposition.
<br />
<br /> The attached resoIution has been prepared by the City Attorney and I recommend its
<br />approval."
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Corprew and seconded by Mr. Beamer, the following resolution was adopted
<br />and b~ the following ~ote:
<br />
<br />"A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CONVEY CITY OWNED PROPERTY ON THE
<br />SOUTH SIDE OF BALLARD AVENUE (PARCEL) TO PORTSMOUTH REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING
<br />AUTHORITY.
<br />
<br /> WHEREAS, the City owns certain hereinafter-described real property which is no
<br />required for public purposes, and is, hereby, declared to be excess property; and
