CITY OF NEW BEZIGHTON <br />MEMORANDUM <br />DATE: July 2, 2009 <br />TO: Dean Lotter, City Manager <br />FROM: Grant Fernelius, Director of Community Development EV( -- <br />SUBJECT: July 7th Worksession Discussion on City Owned Properties <br />Attached is a map and list of all City -owned land according to the most recent database <br />download from Ramsey County. I would like to offer a few observations about the list. <br />The map identifies different uses, including those for parks/ponds (green); city <br />facilities (yellow) and water utilities (blue). In addition, it also highlights the sites <br />that the City has acquired for redevelopment purposes (red). There area few <br />parcels that have been identified as vacant — with distinctions made for those that <br />are developable (orange) and those that are not (orange hatch) for various <br />reasons. <br />• There are two sites (#89 and #25) which have been mentioned in recent weeks <br />as potential candidates for sale to private interests: <br />o Site 89 is located near the corner of Old Highway 8 and 8th Avenue NW. <br />The City was approached by John Stenglein and Peter Murlowski about <br />selling the site to relocate the local funeral home. That request was <br />related to the development of the former Marv's Transmission site. Public <br />Works staff has expressed some interest in retaining Site 89 for future <br />expansion of the Public Works Garage. <br />o Site 25 is the former Harry's Bar on Old Highway 8. It is my <br />understanding this property was acquired several years ago in anticipation <br />of potential redevelopment along the corridor. When those plans did not <br />materialize, staff contacted the adjacent trucking company to determine <br />their interest. Initially, the company was interested, but the negotiations <br />never advanced. <br />Hopefully, this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. <br />
