Resolution:

BE IT RESOLVED, that that the Executive Director be authorized to negotiate the acquisition of PID 34-119-21-11-0002 (located near the southwest corner of 69th Avenue North and Beard Avenue North; address unassigned) in the City of Brooklyn Center from the Hennepin County Resident and Real Estate Services Department, in consideration of a total amount not to exceed $181; that following review and approval by the County Attorney’s Office, the Chair be authorized to sign all documents associated with the conveyance on behalf of the Authority; and that the Controller be authorized to receive and disburse funds as directed; and

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a public hearing to obtain public comment on the proposed sale of PID 34-119-21-11-0002 in the City of Brooklyn Center to Mound Cemetery, or affiliated entity, be held before the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 1:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, in Room A-2400 of the Hennepin County Government Center, in the City of Minneapolis; and that the Clerk of the Board shall publish notice of the hearing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A in Finance and Commerce, the official newspaper of Hennepin County at least once, 15 days prior to the date of the public hearing.

Background:

History: Hennepin County Resident and Real Estate Services (RRES) requests that the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HCHRA) facilitate the pass-through sale of approximately 0.06 acres (PID 34-119-21-11-0002) in the City of Brooklyn Center from RRES to Mound Cemetery.

 

The subject splinter parcel is adjacent to the Mound Cemetery. It appears that the parcel was the result of a platting error in the 1920’s. Mound Cemetery will work with the City of Brooklyn Center to combine the two lots.

 

The appraised value of the parcel is $180.70. Mound Cemetery will pay the appraised value plus any incidental closing costs.

 

Current Request: Authorization to negotiate acquisition of 0.06 acres in the City of Brooklyn Center (PID 34-119-21-11-0002) from Hennepin County Resident and Real Estate Services for a total amount not to exceed $181; establish a public hearing on Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 1:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as practicable, to obtain public comment on the sale of PID 34-119-21-11-0002 in the City of Brooklyn Center to Mound Cemetery.

 

Impact/Outcomes: The sale of the unbuildable parcel, PID 34-119-21-11-0002, to Mound Cemetery will put the property on the tax role and restore the cemetery lot line.
