^ ^ •Vi T i./I.,-! -TT" -ifc* ^--iT^^-'- <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />"%c> <br />e <br />DATE: January 18, 1996 <br />ITEM NO: ^ ^ ? <br />■%, u:^ <br />Department Approval: <br />Name Ron Moorse <br />Title City Administrator ______ <br />Item Description: <br />Tax Forfeit Properties Available to the City <br />Administrator Reviewed: <br />/^4 <br />Agenda Section: <br />Administrator’s Report <br />Hennepin County has forwarded to the city information regarding three tax forfeit parcels. The <br />city has the option of requesting acquisition of the parcels for a public use, recommending sale <br />to adjacent property owners, or recommending withholding the parcels from auction for up to <br />one year if there are specific issues the city wants to have resolved. Staff s recommendations <br />regarding the three parcels are as follows: <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />P.I.D. 03-117-23 24 0004 <br />Auction sale to adjacent owners only. The unbuildable property is made up of <br />mostly wetlands. It should also be noted that the property is adjacent to a former <br />landfill site. <br />P.I.D. 10-117-23 42 0022 <br />This is the former Toberman property at 1960 Shoreline Drive. Staff is <br />recommending requesting that the property be withheld from auction for up to one <br />year to enable the County to address the soil contamination problem prior to the <br />sale of the property. <br />P.I.D. 33-118-23 43 0016 <br />This parcel is right-of-way for potential future connection of Golden View Drive <br />and Silver View Drive. The subdivision resolution related to this property <br />requires that the homeowners association retain this property as an outlot. The <br />homeowners association has apparently allowed this parcel to be forfeited in order <br />to eliminate their tax liability related to the parcel. Rather than allowing this <br />parcel to be forfeited the solution is for the parcel to be reclassified to a "K" <br />classification. This enables the value of the parcel to be apportioned to the <br />properties of the homeowners association so that the property taxes specific to this <br />parcel are eliminated. Therefore staff recommends this parcel be withheld from <br />auction for up to one year to resolve this issue with the homeowners association <br />and the city assessor. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Motion to adopt the attached resolutions reflecting staffs recommendation regarding the parcel <br />with P.I.D. 03-117-23 24 0004; and to authorize staff to submit a letter to the County <br />recommending parcels 10-117-23 42 0022 and 33-118-23 43 0016 be withheld from auction for <br />up to one year.
