NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of Oshkosh that the property 672 Jefferson Street is hereby declared blighted pursuant to the provisions of Section 66.1333, Wisconsin Statutes. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the Common Council that a comprehensive redevelopment plan is not necessary to determine the need for acquisition and redevelopment of said property. MARCH 26, 2019 19-201 RESOLUTION CONT'D BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the proper Redevelopment Authority officials are authorized and directed to acquire said property for $47,000.00 and execute any and all documents necessary to consummate this transaction. Money for this purpose is hereby appropriated from Acct. No. 303-0740-7208-16817 Community Development Block Grant Land Purchase. TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council FROM: Allen Davis Community Development Director DATE: March 20, 2019 RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize Redevelopment Authority to Acquire 672 Jefferson Street ($47,000) BACKGROUND Staff noticed a 'For Sale by Owner' sign in the window of this vacant residential property and contacted the owner. The property is in the Near East Redevelopment Area. The house is assessed for $88,800. The owner agreed to a sale price of $47,000. ANALYSIS Staff has inspected the property, and based on the condition, it would cost between $150,000 - $200,000 to renovate the house for resale. Demolition would cost about $10,000 to $20,000. At this time, staff does not believe this neighborhood block could support the renovation and resale of a home in the $200,000 price range. The lot is normal sized for this immediate area at 66' x 120', which would allow for the construction of a new affordable single family home. The RDA owns several parcels across the street on the west side of Jefferson Street. RDA members have indicated in the past that the properties on the east side of the 600 Block of Jefferson Street need to be addressed at some point to provide a better opportunity for a redevelopment project coming forward on the west side. The house is located in one of the lowest scoring blocks on the Quality of Life Map. The property and block score below average for condition, police calls and foreclosures. The house condition could be a contributing factor to the low score for the block. Removing the house will increase the block and neighborhood score. FISCAL IMPACT CDBG funds will be used for the acquisition and demolition tipping fees. There are adequate funds available for this type of blight removal project. City Hall, 215 Church Avenue P.O.
