RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to
Accept Property at 349 West 7th Avenue
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The owner of the property at 349 West 7th Avenue approached the RDA/City regarding
donating the property. The property was a single family rental and is currently vacant and
uninhabitable. The tenant had made improvements to the property without permits. The
owner has indicated they are not able to make the necessary improvements to bring the
property up to code.
The Redevelopment Authority (RDA) held a public hearing on March 20, 2013 to hear
comments on the proposed spot blight designation of the property. The property is not within
a designated redevelopment area, and as such, must be spot blighted in order for the RDA to
acquire, or accept, the property. No one appeared at the March 20th RDA public hearing.
Per Wisconsin Statutes, Council needs to approve the spot blight designation as well as
authorize the RDA's acquisition (acceptance) of the property.
FISCAL IMPACT
The house may be either rehabilitated and resold, or razed and the lot sold for construction of
a new single family home. A determination will be made once the property has been
transferred to the RDA and an evaluation of the property can be made. Community
Development Block Grant funds will be used for closing costs associated with this donation.
RECOMMENDATION
The Redevelopment Authority approved of the spot blight designation and the property
owners generous donation of the property.
Approved,
City Manager
