Consider Purchasing Surplus County Property <br /> a. 7261 Main Street <br /> b. 1798 Main Street <br /> <br />Council Member Fehrenbacher requested the Mr. Tolzmann assist Council with <br />discussing the excess County properties and their values. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber reviewed the location of the properties and stated the appraised <br />value/estimated market value of the parcels is: (7261 Main Street – Est. Market Value <br />$29,350) & (1798 Main Street – Estimated Market Value $42,500). Mayor Wilharber <br />stated that the parcels are surplus property remaining from the reconstruction of <br />CSAH14/Main Street which must be offered to the City in accordance with the Joint <br />Powers Agreement. <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion ensued regarding 7261 Main Street, whether the lot was buildable, <br />either with or without a variance. Mr. Tolzmann felt that if the parcel was buildable the <br />purchase value of the property as suggested by Anoka County, would be fair. <br />Administrator Larson stated that a variance may be needed in this case; however, he felt <br />it was likely that a home could be built on the parcel. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued regarding realtor fees, length of time that the City would own the <br />parcel, marketing of the parcel, neighboring property owner’s willingness to purchase, <br />potential profit and the need to complete a survey of the property ensuring that the lot <br />was buildable prior to purchasing it from the County. <br /> <br />Motion by Council Member Fehrenbacher, seconded by Council Member Paar to <br />obtain a survey of 7261 Main Street, and staff is authorized to extend an offer to <br />purchase the property if it is determined to be a buildable parcel. All in favor. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Wilharber gave a brief outline of the 1798 Main Street parcel. Mayor Wilharber <br />stated that the County’s appraised value/estimated market valuation is $42,500. <br /> <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />
