AGENDA ITEM 6G <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING DATE: May 24, 2004 <br />TOPIC: Second Reading: Ordinance No. 15 -04 Offering Sale <br />of City Owned Property (Former Black Duck Lift <br />Station Site) <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City Council authorized the reconstruction of the Black Duck Sanitary Sewer <br />Lift Station in 2003. As part of the project, the lift station was relocated from the <br />west side of Black Duck Drive to City owned property on the east side of the <br />street. The old location was a 30' x 30' parcel obtained in 1972 when the station <br />was constructed. As shown in the attached diagram the parcel extends into the <br />adjacent single family residential lot. <br />With the removal of the lift station the parcel is no longer needed for public <br />purposes. The parcel is not of sufficient size to accommodate any future <br />development. To relieve the City of any future maintenance responsibilities staff <br />is requesting that ownership of the parcel be transferred to the abutting <br />residential property. However, staff is recommending that the City retain a 10 <br />foot drainage and utility easement over the easterly 10 feet of the parcel <br />consistent with the existing easements lying north and south of the property. <br />City staff has discussed the transfer with the adjacent property owner. They <br />have expressed their interest in the parcel to remove the "notch" in the property. <br />The City Council Approved the First Reading of Ordinance 15 -04 on May 10, <br />2004. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending approval of Ordinance 15 -04 authorizing the sale of <br />property to the owner of Lot 1, Block 1, Lakes Addition No. 2 for the purchase <br />price of $1.00. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
