BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS James Reiter, President. Stephen Haselmann, Vice President Commissioners: Matt Anfang . Robert Cardinal + Pat Harris June 27, 2002 .JJJ.L. '.' Ms. Theresa Bender, City Clerk City of Centerville 1880 Main Street Centerville, Minnesota 55038 Subject: Board of Water Commissioners' Centerville Lake Watchman Residence Property 1601 Lamotte Road Dear Ms. Bender: Pursuant to our recent phone conversation, I'm writing to notifY you that the Board of Water Commissioners desires to begin discussions on selling the property and would like to know if the City of Centerville is interested in buying it. In 1999, then City Manager Jim March indicated the City would be interested in buying the property, poSSIbly in partnership with the City ofLino Lakes, as the shared city Iimit line diagonally bisects the property. In 2000, I informed Mr. March the property would not be available until after June 30, 2004, the date the CWTent lease of the residence expires. The following day would be the earliest date for occupancy. However, a pmchase agreement could be executed well before that time and a closing could also occur earlier if the City would agree to cany the current lease to expiration. The attached site plan generally shows the lot split we are proposing. The parcel to be sold is approximately one acre and would-have approximately 220 frontage feet along Lamotte Drive. At this time, the Board intends to retain the adjacent property for th~ ~~ping stmi~P. : ., ,. . Please let me know if the City is interested in buying the property, and if is interested, the time line it would prefer to execute a purchase agreement and close the sale. In the event the City decides it does not want to purchase the property; or does not respond by October 1, 2002, we will offer it to Anoka County and then to the open market, with the intent of closing a. sale by mid 2004 at the latest. I'm available at 651-266-6265 to answer any questions you may have, and am very willing to attend any staff or council meetings, if requested. . Attachment ;;~ trCu. William L.
