ATTACHMENTS: A.: B: C: Draft Resolution. Map of property MapSpring Property Ownership and Site Address Report In 1964, the City acquired property that lies adjacent to the existing south right-of-way line ofG Street, east of Mill Street, from the Housing Authority and Urban Renewal Agency of Lane County, Oregon. The property was purchased in fee simple, and the City's ownership is neither limited or qualified, nor is the use of such real property restricted. The principal purpose of the acquisition is unknown, but one possible use would be the improvement to G Street. The right-of way of G street, as platted by the "Sixth Addition to Urbana" in 1962, is sixty feet (60') in width. There are currently no plans to further improve G Street, which is improved with curb and gutter, and pavement to a width of thirty six feet (36'). There is no sidewalk along the portion of G Street adjacent to this parcel, but there is sidewalk on the opposite side of the street and adjoining this parcel. This parcel is approximately 0.03 acre in size, and is of variable width across the frontage of G Street. The parcel is free of easements, but is not suitable for any other public use. There are two parcels of land adjoining this surplus property and the owners of each parcel have expressed an interest in acquiring the property. The interested owner of the western adjoining parcel intends to remove the existing house on that parcel and construct a new building for a day care and activity center for children from infancy to elementary school age. The owner of the eastern adjoining parcel, who is involved with the western parcel, does not intend to modify the current use of that parcel. DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL IMPACT: Written notice will be provided to the oWners of any abutting property and advertisement in a paper of general circulation to give notice of the City's intent to entertain offers in writing for the purchase of the property. Any offers, which are to be accompanied by evidence of the value of the property, will be reviewed by the City Manager, and a Public Hearing, pursuant to ORS 221.715, will be scheduled to allow the Council to take testimony and consider any offers. Staff recommends that the property be offered for public sale consistent with the provisions of Municipal Code Section 2.714 and the relevant provision of Oregon Revised Statutes regulating the disposal of public property.
