The property is .89 acres and sits adjacent to the City owned <br />property at 8283 Long Lake Rd. The subject property currently has a small home that has been <br />vandalized and is not inhabitable. <br />Public Works has shown some interest in the past to take ownership because the house is not currently <br />on city services. The closest services to connect is in Longlake Road which would be costly. There was <br />also the idea to set the property aside for future expansion of Ardan Park and/or the compost site. In <br />addition, the city has past development plans that shows a larger development south of Ardan Park. <br />Discussion <br />The EDA to discuss the interest level of purchasing the property. Staff is just determining if the EDA is <br />interested in the property or not at this point. <br />Recommendation <br />Should the EDA decide to continue to pursue the property, staff recommends that the item be placed on <br />the July 6 Council Worksession for further discussion where more details about the property, including <br />price, and other pertinent information can be discussed. If the EDA decides not to continue pursuing the <br />property then staff will notify Mr. Soderman so that he can list the property on the market. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Brian Beeman <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />Attachment(s): <br />1) Map of Subject Property <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
