RE: Approve Determination of Necessity to Acquire Property; Authorize
Redevelopment Authority to Acquire 136 West 9th Avenue with Community
Development Block Grant Funds
BACKGROUND
The Common Council and Redevelopment Authority previously approved the South Shore
Redevelopment Area, and associated TIF plan, in part to eliminate blighting conditions and improve
neighborhoods within the designated Redevelopment Area. Since the Redevelopment Area was
created, various parcels have been acquired, buildings demolished and some new development has
occurred.

The owner of 136 West 9th Avenue approached staff to acquire their property for$33,000. The
property has been vacant for about one year during which time the owners attempted to sell it without
any success. The assessed value of the house is $64,500. Community Development Block Grant
funds are available for acquisition costs.
FISCAL IMPACT
None anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION.
Staff recommends acquiring the property for future land assemblage for a redevelopment site. The
Redevelopment Authority unanimously approved of the acquisition at its September 19, 2012 meeting.
Approved,
City Manager
