d. Setting Public Hearings.
(1) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CONVEY THE WEST ONE-
HALF OF A TVVENTY FOOT WIDE BY EIGHTY FOOT LONG VACATED
PORTION OF THE ALLEY LOCATED BE'I'~NEEN LOTS 4 AND 5, BLOCK
15, COUNTY SEAT ADDITION, ADJACENT TO 729 SOUTH CAPITOL
STREET, TO EAGLE VIEW PROPERTIES, LLC, AND SETTING A
PUBLIC HEARING ON SAID CONVEYANCE FOR FEBRUARY 17, 2004.
Comment: This alley was vacated in 1965, but has never been conveyed.
Richard Strauss, on behalf of adjacent property owner Eagle View Properties
LLC, has offered to purchase the west half of it for $800.00 ($1 per square
foot). The City needs to retain a sanitary sewer easement over the alley
property. Based on the retention of an easement, adjacent right-of-way
having been recently been appraised at $1.50 per square foot, and the fact
that the Strausses have paid real estate taxes on this portion of the alley
since approximately 1995, Staff feels the $800 offer is adequate
consideration. This Resolution declares the City Council's intent to convey
the above property to Eagle View Properties, LLC, and sets a public hearing
on the proposed conveyance for February 17, 2004.
(2) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO CONVEY A SINGLE
FAMILY HOME LOCATED AT 1927 GRANTVVOOD STREET TO A
PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM TENANT AND SETTING A PUBLIC
HEARING FOR FEBRUARY 17, 2004.
Comment: The Iowa City Housing Authority, under its Tenant-to-Ownership
Program, proposes to sell 1927 Grantwood Street to a public housing program
tenant. The amount of the sale will be the appraised value of the home, which
is $122,000. The family consists of a single parent, along with her son and
nephew, as well as two foster children. The parent has been employed full-
time since 1998 and the family has participated in the public housing program
since 1999. The family has received a written commitment for a mortgage
from a local bank in the amount of $97,600. The City will provide a second
mortgage for the remaining $24,400. This sale will provide the opportunity for
a Iow-income family to obtain ownership of their own home.
