RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to Accept
Donation of 421 Monroe Street (RDA Recommends Approval)
BACKGROUND
The owner of the property is offering the property as a donation to the City/RDA. The existing
structure is a 2 -story house with great need for rehabilitation. Staff believes that the cost to
rehabilitate the house would not be worth the future sale. The proposed spot blight and
acceptance of the donation would allow the City to demolish the house and make the lot
available for redevelopment.
ANALYSIS
The property owner and city staff have evaluated the needs to rehabilitate the vacant house, and
found it cost prohibitive. The property donation of the house and lot would still require up to
$20,000 in demolition costs in the future. In addition, the carrying cost for the lawn maintenance
and the sidewalk clearing in the winter will cost about $500 per year. However, the lot is 55' x
134' and could likely be purchased for redevelopment. The assessed value of the property is
$75,600, with the land constituting $12,900. The expected price for the lot would be $12,900,
after the demolition is complete.
FISCAL IMPACT
The acquisition would be paid by CDBG funds and the demolition would be paid through
scattered site blight elimination funds from the City's Capital Improvement Program. The resale
of the lot with the potential for redevelopment could result in an assessed value greater than the
current value of $75,600.
