The <br />property has a small abandoned home and several outbuildings, and is zoned <br />General Business. The purchase price was $61,400. <br />The intent for the use of the property was to make it available for commercial <br />development.

The owner of Apitz Garage and the county will <br />subsequently negotiate an agreement for the remainder of the land for the <br />expansion of the Apitz facilities. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve the first reading of Ordinance No. 08 -01 offering the sale of property <br />to Anoka County <br />2. Return to staff for further consideration <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />
