RoseviHe Housing Funck would be used for the purchase and <br />administrative fees associated with the purchase, if approved. <br /> <br />2.0 Background <br /> <br />2.1 A housing replacement program was established in 1996 to help the City purchase <br />outdated or non-code compliant structures that could not be economically <br />rehabilitated or sold on the open market. The purpose of the program is to replace <br />deteriorating lower value housing on scattered sites throughout the City with larger, <br />higher value housing designedffor families. The goal of the program is to increase <br />the property value of the home and improve the value and aesthetics of the <br />neighborhood properties. <br /> <br />2.2 The_ tax forfeiture property located at the corner of William and Burke in RoseviHe <br />abuts the home located at 2100 William Street which was purchased by the City <br />under the Housing Replacement Program. To effectively replace this current home <br />with a new home the two lots must be combined. Individually, both lots are too <br />small to build a new home. <br /> <br />3.0 Propertv Facts <br /> <br />3.1 The tax forfeiture property is 47' X 125' vacant land lot on the corner of William <br />and Burke Streets (map attached). The size of the lot does not meet the <br />standards for a buildable lot in the City of RoseviHe. The property is located in R- <br />1 zoning district. <br /> <br />3.2 Ramsey County offered the property to the City under the tax forfeiture <br />proceeding. The land is currently not generating any tax revenue for the City. <br /> <br />RCA - Burke Tax Forfeited 06/08/98 - Page 1 of 2 <br />
