City Council Agenda Statement
r
Meeting Date: January 10, 2022 �
To: City Council
Through: Janette Bower, City Manager --
From: Jason Bickling, Community Development Director
Agenda Item: Resolution 2022-008: Authorizing the Sale of Real Property located at 1911
Dora Way, also known as the Dora Way Playground by Sealed Bid as
Provided by Seward City Code
Background and justification:
The city currently owns the Dora Way neighborhood park lot located at 1911 Dora Way (T 1N R 1W
SEC 33 SEWARD MERIDIAN SW 0840018 GATEWAY SUB AMENDED LOT 6 BLK 1)
With the plans of Jesse Lee Home Property being converted to a community-oriented space, this
park lot is a redundancy of resources in close proximity (370 ft).
With the affordable,year-round housing shortage that currently exists the City needs to make every
effort to provide opportunities to for additional housing development when possible opportunities
arise. The intent would to post the sale of the lot by closed bid auction with the stipulation that an
owner-occupied home is built that is consistent with the neighborhood.
The property was appraised by MacSwain Associates at a value of $90,000 on August 3, 2021.
The process set-forth in Seward City Code will be followed.
