Feuruary 19, 1985 <br />Page 2 <br />Accordingly, if the City were to raze the structure and rid <br />the neighDornood of the hazardous building, it could recoup its <br />initial expense one of two ways: <br />1. Purchase the land from the DNR with an appropriate <br />deduction for the razing cost from the purchase <br />price. If the City wishes to purchase the land from <br />the DNR, it should request the Park Commission to <br />review the potential of the land for park and/or <br />recreational purposes. <br />2. The City could sell the land at a public sale and levy <br />an assessment on the property. The City may also <br />recommend that the County Board pass along to the DNR, <br />any restrictions or conditions the City may want to <br />impose upon the land, such as restricting the sale to <br />owners of adjoining land. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />1) The house should be razed as it presents a hazard to <br />the public health, safety and welfare. <br />2) The Council should uecide whether the land should be <br />purchased for park purposes, or placed for public sale. <br />3) If the Council wishes a public sale of the land, it <br />should decide what, if any, conditions should be <br />imposed upon the sale. <br />cc: John Gerharason, Puolic Works Coordinator <br />Thomas Jacobs, Builaing Inspector <br />4947f <br />
