ORDINANCE 27-19 - AGREEMENT TO SELL CITY PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5800 SHIER RINGS ROAD TO AIR FORCE ONE, INC., FOR BUSINESS RETENTION AND EXPANSION PURPOSES Memo re: Disposition of Property — 5800 Shier Rings Road May 14, 2019 Page 2of2 As Air Force One has continued to experience the need to expand their facility to accommodate their current staff and implement their new workforce training program, conversations ensued regarding the availability of more space at the 5800 Shier Rings Road building. Through those efforts, a real estate purchase agreement (REPA) has been drafted for the sale of the building to retain this long-standing family owned business in the City of Dublin, and facilitate their growth and expansion. Description of Properly The building and property is located on the north side of Shier Rings Road, between Wilcox Road and Emerald Parkway and along the south side of West Dublin -Granville Road (SR 161) just southwest of the SR 161 and I-270 interchange within the city of Dublin, Franklin County, Ohio. The property contains a total of 6.25E acres and is improved with atwo-story, 33,615E sq. ft. office building with warehouse. The building features 26,230E sq. ft. of office space (78%) and 7,385E sq. ft. of warehouse space (22%). An appraisal of the property was conducted by the Robert Weiler Company in June, 2017 and reported a valuation of $2,700,,000 with the assumption that all systems were in good working order and that the condition of the building was in good repair with regular wear and tear excepted. In order to transfer the property in the condition assumed by the appraisal, deferred maintenance items would need to be addressed including: 1) replacement of the membrane roof; and 2) replacement of two air handling units. These projects were funded through the CIP and are currently underway and near completion. In addition, small projects to address water damage, painting and patching of the exterior and interior and patching and re -sealing of the parking lot are needed to bring the property into good order. It is estimated that those repairs will not exceed $150,000. Therefore, the sale price of the building to Air Force One in the amount of $2,700,,000 is consistent with the appraised value, and a credit of up to $150,,000 is deemed reasonable to complete repairs as outlined and agreed upon in the real estate purchase agreement. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No. 27-19, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a real estate purchase agreement and associated documents necessary for the sale of 5800 Shier Rings Road for a price of $2,700,000.
