The property was purchased after the City secured an
appraisal. As with all City purchases for public use. the `
acquisition was under the City's ]n�wers of eminent domain.
The purchase price was $22,050 and City paid all title.

In April of 1979, the City Council changed the concept
of the C drainage area thus eliminating the need for the
C-2 Basin. It is felt that it is important, however, to
point out that if the City should completely develop within
its old general plan limits and should wish .o further
expand, that the logica-1 area for future expaiision of the
City is east of the freeway and south of Kettlen" Lane.
The befit location for a future basin. due to the existing
storm lines. would be the location of the originally
proposed C-2 Basin.
Since 1982, the City has received 2 requests to purchase
this property. These requests were received from the
following parties:
1. Cherokee blawrial Park (requeist received Jan. 1982 #)
2. Tinde,i stanch Associates (request received Feb.4 1982,
and signed by Bruce Towne.)
It appears that the City Council has three options.
They are as ;ollows:
1. Sell the subject parcel;
2. Give a long-term lea -se on the subject parcel;
3. Do nothing.
If the City Council detearmi-nes it Is in the bet;t interest to
sell the subject parcel, the Clty Attorney has found that
there is ro actual requirenent that the City go to b -d as we
did on the Scenic Overlook. Therefore, if the parcel is to
be sold, the City can stili the property to the party of
their choice at present market val+ie., or the City can
receive bids as was done for the Scenic Overlook. Unless
the property is finning to be sold-bnck to the same 9 parties
that it was originally purchased from, it is felt that the
City should consider going out to bid on the property. In
either case, the present value should probably be
established by an appraisa-i.
If the property is to be sold, the appropriate public
utility easement covering to 36" atom drain and 24"
sanitary sewer line would have to be retained. Due to the
size and depth of these line, it is recommended that the
width of this easement be 3:0' as depicted on an exhibit
presented to Council.
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff. Council Mwber Murphy then moved to authorize the
obtaining of an appraisal of the subject property, and once
that appraisal is received to put the property up for bid.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Reid. The motion
failed to carry by the following vote:
