EXERCISE OF OPTION TO PURCHASE PROPERTY LOCATED AT NORTHEAST CORNER OF 212TH ST. S.W. AND 72ND.
VE.
,j_ Community Services Director Peter Hahn reported that on August 1, 1988 the City executed an op-
�'',t� tion to purchase real estate from Anna Gordon, owner of property at 7125 212th St. S.W., which
I�N� v option expires September 30, 1988. Due to illness of the owner and the remote location of her
representative, it has been difficult to secure a time extension of the option agreement. Mr.
Hahn therefore recommended that the City exercise the option and purchase the property for the
option price of $142,207.50, which compares very favorably with the appraisal price of $189,000
and the original asking price of $227,532. He said one-half of the purchase price ($71,103.75)
would come from the proceeeds of the sale of the Perrinville property to the Postal Service, and
the other half would come from Fund 412, Combined Utility Fund.
Councilmember Hertrich inquired which other parcels the City has acquired. Mr. Hahn responded
parcels B and G shown on the drawing in the Council packet had been acquired, and Councilmember
Hertrich asked about the consequences if the City is unable to purchase parcels C, F, or E. Mr.
Hahn said it would not be difficult to locate the storage pit on parcel D and build the facili-
ties on parcels B and G if the City does not acquire parcel C. Mr. Hertrich asked why the City
wants parcel C if it is not vital, to which Mr. Hahn responded that although acquisition of par-
cel C is not vital, it would enhance the facility. Councilmember Hertrich asked about access to
the properties, and Mr. Hahn responded that parcels B, C, and D have access on 212th St., and
parcels E, F, and G access from 210th St. Councilmember Hertrich inquired if they have existing
driveways, to which Mr. Hahn replied they do. Councilmember Dwyer noted that parcel E could
access from 72nd.
Councilmember Hall expressed concern about congestion on 212th St. She inquired how many daily
traffic trips the facility would create on 210th St. Mr. Hahn said traffic congestion will not
be a problem because access to and from the property would occur at varying times of the day and
peak hours could be avoided. He said the traffic issue will be studied, in any event. COUNCIL -
MEMBER WILSON MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER DWYER, TO EXERCISE THE OPTION TO PURCHASE THE PROP-
ERTY LOCATED AT 7125 212TH ST. S.W., KNOWN AS THE ANNA GORDON PROPERTY, BEFORE THE CITY'S OPTION
EXPIRES ON SEPTEMBER 30, 1988. MOTION CARRIED.
The meeting adjourned to Committee meetings at approximately 7:15 p.m.
THESE MINUTES ARE SUB ECT TO OCTOBER 4, 1988 APPROVAL.
