OJHKOfH ON THE WATER TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Allen Davis, Community Development Director DATE: July 21, 2015 RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to Acquire Property at 1208 Oshkosh Avenue BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS The owner of the property at 1208 Oshkosh Avenue approached the RDA/City regarding possible purchase of the property. The owner currently operates a restaurant sales/ repair business that is closing by the end of the month. The proposed purchase price is $49,000. The assessed value of the property is $72,800. Since the owner approached the RDA/City, there would be no relocation costs, nor requirement for appraisals. The owner's offer appears to be a good offer for the City. In November 2014 the RDA and Council approved the spot blight and acquisition of the property next door at 1212 Oshkosh Avenue with the intent to redesign the intersection of Oshkosh Avenue and Sawyer Street. The attached map identifies a likely layout and design for the intersection redesign and the property at 1208 Oshkosh Avenue would be a key property for this redesign scenario. The plan would be to demolish the structure and assemble other parcels for redevelopment of the block and/or redesign of the Oshkosh Avenue/Sawyer Street intersection in the future. FISCAL IMPACT There will be costs associated with acquisition and demolition related activities. Funds for these expenditures will be from the scattered site acquisition allocation in the 2015 Capital Improvement Program. RECOMMENDATION The RDA recommends approval of the Resolution.
