Honorable Mayor and "embers GATE: Fl it i� � � 19�1 ME: of the City Commission SUSIEGT Gran Central Agreement Condemnation of 104 NW 1st Ave. For Cesar H. Odi REFERENCES: For City Commission City Manager ENCLOSURES. Meeting 10/22/87 RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution expanding upon resolution No. 87-450 which authorizes the City Manager to initiate condemnation proceedings to acquire a 17,850 sq. ft. parcel of land located at 104 NW 1st Avenue. The property will be utilized for public right of way and its acquisition will be funded from a cash contribution and loan to the City from the Gran Central Corporation. BACKGROUND: The Department of Development with the concurrence of the Law Department recomends the modification to the previously authorized resolution. Modifications were necessary to meet the legal requirements necessary for condemnation. Pursuant to Resolution No. 87-450, the City submitted an offer to purchase to the owner for $2.8 million, (including ancillary expenses). The owner rejected the offer noting that he would accept the sum of $2.75 million net to him and the City would be responsible for the leasehold interests in the property. The City values the leasehold interests at $125,000 based on an appraisal prepared for the City. The lessee and sublessees valued their interests far in excess of our appraisal amount. Since the owner and lessees have been unable to reach an agreement and the City has committed to condemn the property through quick take (Resolution No. 87-448), it is recommended that the City initiate condemnation. The Agreement with the Gran Central Corporation requires the City to initiate this action prior to the needed dedication of land by the Gran Central Corporation for the realignment and rebuilding of NW 1st Avenue for which construction will start in November. Attachment: Proposed Resolution 113-1
