Mr. Sobota presented, on behalf of Grist Mill, a request for
condemnation of Lot 4, Block 4, Airlake First Addition. The
condemnation is necessitated by the inability of Grist Mill
to purchase the property (which is located immediately north
of the Grist Mill property) from Airlake Management Group.
Grist Mill has made an offer of more than twice the amount of
the County Assessor's market value on the property, but
negotiations have been unsuccessful. The Grist Mill needs
this property for drainage and utility easements to
accommodate expansion of their business. The City Council
approved the relocation of these easements to the north at
the request of Grist Mill, as they had anticipated closing on
the purchase agreement at the time the relocation was
requested. This remnant piece of property, Mr. Sobota
explained, is of very little value to anyone else. City
staff recommends, from an economic development standpoint,
proceeding with the condemnation.
Mr. Sobota explained that the City Attorney has drafted a
resolution authorizing the condemnation of this property.
Once the City Attorney gets permission from the court, and
upon approval by the H.R.A., he can begin proceedings. The
Grist Mill has indicated a willingness to reimburse the City
for costs associated with the condemnation.
91.08 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to approve
Resolution No. 91 -04 authorizing condemnation of Lot 4, Block
4, Airlake First Addition.
Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt,
Mulvihill, Harvey, Ruhmann.
There being no further business, Chair Sindt adjourned the
meeting at 9:08 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
