Shibles%'x4St. City Solicitor RE: Map 31, Lot 55A -- Nelson Street Property DATE: October 5, 1992 The Owner Of BE Nelson Street (Nap 31, Lot 551, Martin Brow, has tendered an offer to bay a City tax -acquired 2000 sq. ft.+ lot (Map 310 Lot 55A) that abuts his nonconforming lot for the assessed value of $900.00 (letter containing offer attached). The City acquired this lot through the tax foreclosure process against Dakin Realty for the nonpayment of property taxes. Be of 9/23/92 there are unpaid taxes since 1990 totaling $164.35 on the property (see attached tax printout, assessment and location map). This lot is adjacent to, and uphill from, a recently donated lot (Map 31, Lot 56) that was accepted by the City for use as part of the Kenduskeag Stream Park. i have talked with Dale Theriault, Rod McKay and Jim Ring concerning whether the City has any current or future plans for the use of Lot 55A. There are no current plana to include Lot 55A in the Park boundaries, nor is any other use currently contemplated by the City for this lot. The lot has no value to anyone other than an abutting property ower and purchase of this lot will bring Nr. Brow's lot. closer to complying with current zoning requirements. Based on these facts and the aforementioned discussions, City staff recommends approval of Mr. Brown'a offer and therefore, recommends approval of the attached Order. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. tc Attachments pc: Jim Ring Dale Theriault Rod.MCRay - John Quartarare Erik Stumpfel, Esq. 92-489 MARTIN BROWN P.O.
