MEMORANDUM

Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Michael A. Koch, Public Works Director
Sale of City Lots on Napier Street
INTRODUCTION
This is in response to a request from Robert J. Cartmill and Glenn E. and
Georgia Bankson for the purchase of Lots 138 and 139 of Mechanic's Addition
on the north side of Napier Street.
DISCUSSION
The attached easement plat shows the proposed areas to be disposed of. The
abutting properties are owned by Robert J. Cartmill and Glenn E. and Georgia
Bankson.
The lots to be sold have sanitary sewer and storm sewer piping running through
the lots that serves the area from Kaufmann Avenue. Perpetual easement dghts
will be reserved on each lot in accordance with an easement plat prepared by the
city.
Mr. Cartmill plans to build an attached garage on a portion of Lot 138. The
Banksons have maintained Lot 139 as a yard for many years and plan to
continue that practice after purchase. Because of the steep terrain and
encumbrance of easements for sanitary and storm sewers, each lot was valued
at $300.
RECOMMENDATION
The City has no plans for the utilization of Lots 138 and 139 of Mechanic's
Addition to be disposed of, except for reserving the utility easements as noted.
I would recommend that Lots 138 and 139 of Mechanic's Addition be disposed
of, and that a public hearing be set for the disposition of the City's interest in the
subject area on July 1, 2002. I would further recommend that the purchase price
be established at $300.00, plus publication and filing fees.
-ACTION TO BE TAKEN
The recommendation of the City Manager should be approved and a public
hearing should be scheduled on the disposal of the property through adoption of
the enclosed resolutions.
