<br /> 84-29 - The following crdinance approved on first reading at the regular meeting of
<br />January 24, 1984, was taken up and read:
<br />
<br />'AN 3RDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $150,000 FROH THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE
<br />ACQUISITION OF THREE PARCELS OF PROPERTY FOR THE $oBir~tE~I]ii~ PUBLIC SERVICE
<br />AUTHORITY TRANSFER SITE.'
<br />
<br />The following letter f~om the City Manager was received:
<br />
<br /> "At your last meeting, several individuals who own property in the 2200 block of Frederic
<br /> Boulevard requested that City Council consider purchasing their property if the proposed SPSA
<br />.Transfer Station~is approved. The property owners indicated that because of the zoning re-
<br /> strictions, they are'limited as to the use of their property (either improvements to or resale
<br /> Following public comment, City Council requested that I render a recommendation on the pro-
<br /> perties mn question, along with the possibility of targeting the land for commercial/industria
<br /> development (private).
<br />
<br /> A survey was conducted to ascertain the preferences of the eight propertyowners. From
<br />this survey the reported owners of the properties indicated that they would orefer that the
<br />City purchase their property. Attached is a list of the properties and repo~ted owners. To
<br />%nitiate proceedings, I requested the City Attorney to conduct an appraisal of the properties
<br />in question and meet with the owners to discuss a purchase price. With regard to the possi-
<br />bility of reserving a portion of road frontage for industrialZcommerzial development, it ap-
<br />pears that if the entire tract was assembled (6-8 acres) there could be development potential.
<br />As you know, there is the possibility that if and when the RDF plant is built that the Trans-
<br />fer Station could be incorporated into that facility; therefore, freeing up the Frederick
<br />Boulevard site for future development. Based upon this possibility and the limited market-
<br />ability of a smaller site fronting Frederick Boulevard, it is the recommendation of the
<br />Director of Economic Development that the owners' properties be purchased and made a part of
<br />Transfer Station site.
<br />
<br /> In light of the property owners, desire to sell their property it is my recommendation
<br />that the proposed appropriation ordinance be increased from $150,000 to $350,000."
<br />
<br /> William Carter, Jr., 2213 Frederick Boulevard, inquired of the proposal adopted at the
<br />meeting of January 24, 1984.
<br />
<br /> The City Manager responded to Mr. Carter's inquiry. Mr. Carter commended the City
<br />Manager for having the ability to see the conditions that had existed and did wh~t n~eded
<br />to be done.
<br />
<br /> John H~ Lewis, 2211 Frederick Boulevard, stated what he would expect when the time comes
<br />for him to sell and relocate.
<br />
<br />Motion of Mr. Barnes and seconded by Mr. Gray, to adopt the ordinance.
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mrs. Webb and seconded by Mr. Beamer, to amend the ordinance to appropriate
<br />$350,000, and was adopted by unanimous vote.
<br />
<br />On motion the ordinance was adopted, as amended, and by the following vote:
<br />
<br />Ayes: Barnes, Beamer, Gray, Holley, Webb, Whitlow, Johansen
<br />Nays: None
