Request to Declare as Surplus and Dispose of City Owned Property (B)
Request to declare as surplus and dispose of City owned property - a portion of Tax Parcel 11344-000-000 located at Hawthorne Road and Southeast 8th Avenue Extension.
Explanation
The City acquired the vacant property known as Tax Parcel 11344-000-000, located at 750 Southeast 23rd Street by Warranty Deed on May 4, 1993 from A. Nicholas Gatti and Ruby E. Gatti, for the purpose of building and maintaining the Southeast 8th Avenue extension to Hawthorne Road. The Southeast 8th Avenue extension severs Tax Parcel 11344-000-000 creating an approximately 0.18 acre remnant on the west side.
The City has received a request from the adjoining property owner to purchase the 0.18 acre remnant portion of Tax Parcel 11344-000-000 to combine with their existing property to the west for the purpose of expanding their proposed development.

Staff believes the value of the land is $5,000 and that it is in the best interest of the City, to declare this remnant property as surplus and return the property to the tax roll. The adjacent property owner is willing to pay $6,000 for this 0.18 acre remnant parcel and all associated costs connected with the boundary survey establishing the legal description, documentary stamps, and recording fees.
