TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Jim Pilmer, Director of Neighborhood Standards
DATE: August 19, 2014
SUBJECT:
Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Real Estate known as 54-56 South Broadway with a PIN Number of 15-22-381-003 located in the central business district of Aurora through the execution of a Real Estate Contract between the City of Aurora and Frank Starble.
PURPOSE:
This vacant parking lot located in the proximity of city offices will supplement off street parking for city employees and special events.
BACKGROUND:
This property has extensive zoning violations for pavement condition and landscape requirements. The seller listed the property for sale and the violations continue to exist. The code enforcement cases are approximately 12 month old. Included in the purchase will be the dismissal of the code enforcement cases.
DISCUSSION:
The assemblage of parcels for parking near city hall offices is helpful to the City of Aurora as development of parcels to meet current parking needs and future development opportunities. Immediately upon repair and code compliance, this parcel will be used for daily parking, city employees and special events. The account number for the funds to purchase are from 215-1710-417-71-01.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There should be no impact to the public. The additional special event parking will be a benefit and the desirable off street location for employee parking to work offices will be beneficial. Parking Maintenance Division will have an impact to cure the zoning and maintenance violations, but should be absorbed into the normal budgeted maintenance and operations.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request approval to make the aforementioned purchase and the proposed resolution be adopted as presented.
