Discussion On Listing Prices of City Owned Property(1737 Main Street) & <br /> (1691/1695 Main Street-Lakeview) <br /> Mr. Lou Suski stated that he has researched comparable sales in the area over the last several <br /> months and with the recent sale of a neighboring property, suggested that the Council consider <br /> increasing the price of both parcels. Mr. Suski stated that approximately one year ago, the <br /> previous Administrator suggested that the prices be reduced and with the market inclining in <br /> interest it is felt that 1737 Main Street's asking price should be increased to $155,000 and <br /> 1691/1695 Main Street to $145,000 due to lake view and neighboring appraisals. Mr. Suski <br /> stated that the price increase also gave Council some wiggle room on sale price during <br /> negotiations. Mr. Suski reported that the property recently purchased by the school size was .30 <br /> acres and the City's two lots are .51 and .48. Mr. Suski felt that 1737 Main Street was a great <br /> value for the right business and Council desired to sell for the highest price and best use. <br /> Mr. Suski stated that current the market has slowed, however, generally speaking picks up <br /> immediately following the first of the year. <br /> Council questioned if there have been inquiries to the property along Heritage Street and <br /> Centerville Road. Mr. Suski reported that over the listing period he has received three (3) very <br /> vague inquiries. Mr. Suski stated that Council has been flexible with working with developers <br /> and would find that if a viable offer were received, Council would consider it. Discussion <br /> ensued regarding a developer's possibility of purchasing additional/abutting land if so desired. <br /> Motion by Council Member Paar, seconded by Council Member Love to Increase the <br /> Listing Prices of 1737 Main Street to $155,000 and 1691/1695 Main Street to $145,000. All <br /> in favor. Motion carried. <br /> Page 6 of 10 <br /> 17 <br />
