Additionally, the current site's most appropriate use has been identified to be for the purpose of residential development. As such, City Administration has determined the purchase of two lots; located at 2405 and 2413 Seward Highway, are the most suitable location to construct a new Public Works Facility. City Council held a Work Session on October 25, 2021 and discussed this negotiation. Other locations have been considered, including the adjacent lot which is owned by the City and currently used as a snow dump. However, this adjacent property would require approximately 45,000 cubic yards of fill material. This added cost as well as the impact on adjacent property owners suggest that the lots at 2405 and 2413 are the most appropriate location for the Public Works shop to be located. Following council approval to begin negotiations, the City Manager will also begin the appraisal process. Following negotiations, the required public hearing will be held on the resolution authorizing the sale and the essential terms and conditions of the acquisition are made available to the public. At the same meeting as the public hearing, the council will consider adoption of the resolution authorizing the acquisition and if necessary, a finding that the public interest will be served by disposing of the property for less than the appraised fair market value.
