Item No. 14-293
Date: September 8, 2014
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the Sale of 150 Court Street to Steven Willey
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
This Order would authorize the sale of the City -owned vacant lot at 150 Court Street to Steven
Willey for $5,000.
The City acquired the property at 150 Court Street in July of 2013. The property had been
damaged in a fire, and the owner deeded the property to the City in exchange for relief of back
taxes. The City used Community Development Block Grant funds to demolish the building. The
Assessing Department indicates that 150 Court Street is now valued at $7,900.
Mr. Willey has expressed interest in purchasing the lot to use as a parking lot for his property at
154 Court Street. Both 150 and 154 Court Street are presently nonconforming lots; this sale
would create one large lot, reducing or eliminating the nonconformity issues. Mr. Willey asked
for a the sale price of $5,000, to reflect the work he will need to do in order to remove stumps
and level the ground for his parking lot.
The Business and Economic Development Committee recommended approval of the sale of 150
Court Street to Mr. Willey for $5,000 by a vote of 4-1.
