Attorney Glaser stated that Mr. Magdik has providing <br />financing for a construction loan and he has confirmed it, he is ready to close on the property <br />immediately and if Council desired to instruct him to amend the purchase agreement to include <br />their requirements along with outstanding money owed to the City he would. <br /> <br />Attorney Glaser also stated that a previously granted variance (setback deviation from <br />requirements) associated with the construction of a home on the property has expired, the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission ordered a public hearing to discuss granting the variance again <br />for its April 5, 2016 meeting. Attorney Glaser noted that Mr. Magdik needed to submit more <br />detailed plans and specifications to the Building Department than he has to date. Attorney <br />Glaser reported that the type of construction loan that Mr. Magdik has secured may guarantee <br />that if he fails to construct a home on the property within six (6) months and sell in three (3) <br />months or defaults on the loan the bank will own the property which gives him incentive to <br />commence construction and complete as soon as possible. Attorney Glaser stated that City may <br />also just desire to outright sell him the property without requirements for construction of a home. <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion ensued regarding Mr. Magdik’s prior agreements and failure to act on them, <br />outstanding in-lieu of property tax payment per the defaulted agreement of $2,800, expired <br />variance and fees, concern for the City to again own the parcel lacking a home’s construction as <br />Council’s original intention was that the lot with a home on it would generate property taxes. <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
