AGENDA ITEM 6E STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer DATE: December 10, 1998 TOPIC: FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 16 -98, Sale of Property to Kathy Hansmann and Lakeland. National Bank BACKGROUND: As part of the Lake Drive Trunk Utility and Apollo Drive -Phase 3 projects, the City acquired the Bruder property located on the west side of Lake Drive. The right -of -way for Apollo Drive passes through the Bruder property at an angle which creates two pie shaped remnants which are located outside of the proposed right-of-way. After the trunk utilities and roadway are installed, the City will have no use for these remnants. Per the City Council's direction, staff contacted the property owners immediately north and south of the proposed right-of -way to determine their interest in obtaining the remnants. Both Lakeland National Bank, the owner of the property located to the north, and Kathy Hansmann, the owner to the south, expressed interest in obtaining the remnants adjacent to their respective parcels. The addition of these remnant pieces to the remainder of their parcels will provide additional areas for landscaping and, in the case of the southern parcel, may lessen the impact on existing trees. Section 12.05 of the City Charter requires that real property of the City cannot be disposed of except by Ordinance. After the First Reading of the attached Ordinance, the Second Reading would be held on January 11, 1999, and the Ordinance would be published in the Legal Newspaper. OPTIONS: 1. Approve the First Reading of Ordinance No. 16-98. 2. Return to staff for further considration. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Option 1.
