Hartmann, Assistant Law Director Memo Re: Ordinance 87 -14 - AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE NECESSARY CONVEYANCE DOCUMENTATION TO ACQUIRE 1.5 ACRES, MORE OR LESS, FEE SIMPLE INTEREST FROM JUDITH R. MARGAROLI (FKA- WILSON) AND ENRICO MARGAROLI. BACKGROUND As you will recall, the City purchased property from John H. Kilbury late last year to establish additional riverfront parkland, consistent with the City's plans for additional riverfront parkland. Judith R. Margaroli (FKA- Wilson) and Enrico Margaroli (the "'Grantors'l own the property just north of Mr. Kilbury's former property. The Grantors' property includes approximately 1.5 acres and a single - family dwelling, and is located at 6716 Dublin Road, identified as Franklin County Parcel No. 270 - 000271. It currently lies within the unincorporated "island" of properties located along the east side of Dublin Road in this area. Previous goals of City Council and recent Bridge Street District River Corridor Planning efforts have reinforced the need and desirability of the City to provide additional public park space along the Scioto River. This site provides another opportunity to advance the vision for a substantial river park along both sides of the Scioto River in this area. This site is directly opposite the approximately 12 acres of land the City acquired in 2012 on the east side of the Scioto River. Recent surveys of City residents have clearly established river fronting park land as among our community's highest park priorities. In addition to its Scioto River frontage, the site also possesses high quality scenic character and accessible land areas. Additionally, the house located on the site is within the 100 -year floodway, and as such (if privately owned and occupied) its location would trigger future mitigation measures as a result of any river corridor improvements (such as bridges) that would result in any raising of the regulatory flood water levels. The acquisition of this site eliminates that obligation, and the future expenses associated therewith. The Administration has had an appraisal performed on the subject property, and, although it is uncertain what level of sale price reduction might occur as a result of the home's location within the regulatory floodway, the appraisal value supports the price for the property. The Grantors have agreed to sell the site for $850,000, with continued occupancy rights beyond closing. This Ordinance authorizes the City Manager to enter into a purchase agreement for Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($850,000) and a two (2) year lease agreement with the Grantors. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 87 -14 at the second reading /public hearing at the September 8, 2014 Council meeting.
