REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL The City of Centerville will receive proposals to purchase the property at 7261 Main Street (Lot 14, Block 2, Burque Addition No. 1). The property has approximately 140 feet of shoreline on Peltier Lake. A deposit of $2,500 shall be submitted with your proposal. The deposit from the successful proposer will be retained until 30 days after issuance of a building permit. Title to the property will be conveyed by warranty deed subject to easements of record. Proposals shall be submitted by March 7, 2013, at 3:00 p.m. to the City Administrator, 1880 Main Street, Centerville, MN 55038. The City reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and to accept any proposal that in the sole discretion of the City Council is in the best interests of the City. The site previously had a single family dwelling on it that was removed after construction of Main Street (CSAH 14). The structure and foundations were removed, but water and sanitary service stubs into the property remain in place. Purchaser must verify grades before design of the basement elevation. The City will require construction of a dwelling with not less than 1,050 square feet on the main floor with a minimum total finished space of 1,600 square feet. A two -car attached garage will also be required. The completed construction value must be a minimum of $200,000. A survey document showing the buildable footprint of the lot is available upon request. It is anticipated that a small front -yard setback variance may be requested, due to the footage taken for the highway right of way. While it is expected that a reasonable variance may be requested, no advance commitment in that regard can be made by the City. The application for a variance will be processed by the City and must qualify in the same manner as for any other applicant. A proposal may be conditioned only on approval of a reasonable variance request; however, if a variance is not applied for within two years of acceptance of the proposal, the contingency expires. The City will require a copy of a bank commitment or other proof of the ability to finance the construction of the dwelling. It is the desire of the City to get a new home constructed on the property as soon as possible. To that end, if the purchaser completes a new dwelling by December 15, 2013, the City will refund $2,500 of building permit fees paid. If a new dwelling is not completed by December 15, 2014, then beginning in 2015, the buyer will pay the City $2,000 per year, until a dwelling is constructed and pays its first annual taxes on the completed building. The annual amount will be payable on July 1, each year.
