iver <br /> <br />Item #5.2. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administra <br /> <br />June 12, 2000 <br /> <br />Consider Tax Forfeited Properties <br /> <br />Annually, Building and Zoning Administrator Steve Rohlf receives <br />information from the county regarding tax forfeited properties. Steve then <br />identifies the sites and, in consultation with other department heads, <br />evaluates whether or not the city should pursue acquiring these parcels. <br />Attached is a map from Steve showing the five tax forfeited properties that <br />are currently under consideration. <br /> <br />I concur with Steve's recommendations in that we should pursue Parcel A <br />and C. However, it is unlikely that we will be able to obtain Parcel A for the <br />taxes due amount, and if the price increases significantly because of market <br />value, then we would not recommend pursuing this parcel. This property is <br />directly north of the city-owned business park lot off of Joplin Street and the <br />land use designation is for commercial activity in the BP zone. At this time <br />we should at least indicate our interest in this parcel. Likewise we should <br />indicate our interest in Parcel C if the city engineer thinks that we need this <br />parcel in order to preserve drainage patterns. <br /> <br />I will offer additional comments on Parcels A and C and why we don't think <br />we should pursue Parcels B, D, and E at Monday's meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that the city pursue Parcel A and C and not pursue <br />Parcels B, D, and E. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
