ON THE WATER
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director
DATE: June 20, 2013
SUBJECT: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to
Accept Property 11841 Jefferson Street
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The Redevelopment Authority (RDA) held a public hearing at its meeting on June 19th to
hear comments on the proposed spot blight designation of the property at 1841 Jefferson
Street. 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.
The owner of the property approached the RDA/City regarding donating the property. The
property was a single family owner occupied property that fell to foreclosure and bankruptcy.
The property is currently vacant and uninhabitable.
FISCAL IMPACT
The property is currently assessed at $52,100. The structures will need to be razed and then
it would be staff's intention to sell the lot for construction of a new single family home, which
could have an assessed value of between $80,000 - $100,000.
Community Development Block Grant funds will be used for acquisition and demolition
related costs,
RECOMMENDATIO
The RDA approved of the spot blight and acceptance of the property. Council is being asked
to concur that the property at 1841 Jefferson Street is blighted and authorize the RDA to
accept the generous donation by the owner.
Approved,
City Manager
