Consideration of Approval of Resolution No.97-EDA-75C for a Participation Agreement with 17 Preferred Builders in Consideration of the Sale of 8265 Spring Lake Road. 18 19 Ms.Bennett explained that in August the EDA approved Resolution No.97-EDA-73 which approved a 20 Participation Agreement with Loren Hansen Construction for the property. After further thought,Loren did not 21 sign the agreement and withdrew his interest in the property so the city once again opened offers on the lot 22 accepting offers until October 7,1997. One offer was received from Preferred Builders in the amount of 23 $28,000. Preferred Builders is proposing to build a three bedroom modified two story single family home 24 with a three car garage and two full baths with an estimated market value of$145,000. However since 25 Preferred Builders do not have a buyer identified for the home at this time,the EDA must waive the 26 requirement for a buyer/builder team that is stated as part of the Housing Replacement Program. 27 28 Mr. Stigney noted that this property has not been solicited to other people without the restraint and he feels this 29 should be done to see if there is any other interested parties. Ms.Bennett noted that she did 30 talk with several others who did not have a buyer but told them that she would be happy to accept other offers, 31 but they did not provide an offer. However,it was felt that the requirement may have deterred others from 32 submitting one,and therefore all of the companies Ms.Bennett originally contacted should be re-contacted to 33 see if they may now wish to submit an offer. 34 35 MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Stigney to postpone Consideration of Resolution No.97-EDA-75C until 36 the next EDA Meeting and have Ms.Bennett contact the companies previously contacted to give them another 37 opportunity to submit an offer without the restraints. 38 39 VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays - Motion Carried 40 41 D.
