Adoption of this resolution by at least two-thirds vote of the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee will approve the blight designation and surplus declaration of a City-owned vacant lot in the area of North 20th Street and West Vine Street and direct the conveyance of the lot to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee according to the conditions in the Land Disposition Report.
BODY:
Whereas, In Common Council File No. 49-2311-8d, adopted on September 16, 1968, the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee ("Authority") was designated the Agent of the City of Milwaukee ("City") for the purpose of administering, undertaking, and carrying out all blight elimination, slum clearance, and urban renewal programs and projects both present and future; and
Whereas, Applicable Wisconsin law, particularly Section 66.431(5)(c), Wisconsin Statutes, as amended, enables the Authority of a first class city, with the approval of the local legislative body of that city, to acquire blighted property without designating a boundary or adopting a redevelopment plan; and
Whereas, The Authority proposes to eliminate blight and acquire the City-owned property at 1744-46 North 20th Street (Tax Key No. 350-0456-100-5); and
Whereas, The City waived its right to receive the statutory notice and the Authority conducted a Public Hearing on December 16, 1999 pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes; and
Whereas, The Authority determined the subject property to be blighted within the meaning of Section 66.431(4)(bm), Wisconsin Statutes, as amended, and requested approval of this Spot Acquisition by the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee ("Council"); and
Whereas, In relation to the location and extent of public works and utilities, public buildings, and public uses proposed, the Authority has conferred with the City Plan Commission and with such other public officials, boards, authorities, and agencies of the City under whose administrative jurisdictions such uses respectively fall pursuant to Subsection 66.431(6)(c), Wisconsin Statutes; and
Whereas, The City Plan Commission, which is the duly designated and acting official planning body for the City authorized to prepare a comprehensive plan, has reviewed and determined that this Spot Acquisition conforms to the general plan for the City as a whole, and the Council has duly considered the recommendations of the planning body; and
Whereas, The City Plan Commission also has determined that this City-owned vacant lot has no possible municipal use and is surplus to the City's needs; and
Whereas, After acquisition, the Authority desires to assemble this lot with other Authority-owned property and convey the new lots to an owner-occupant who meets the CityHomes criteria and has submitted a Land Disposition Report pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes; and
Whereas, The Public Hearing conducted on December 16, 1999, concurrently addressed the disposition of this property as required by Wisconsin Statutes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that this Spot Acquisition is approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That it is found, determined, and reaffirmed that:
1. This property is blighted and in need of blight elimination, slum clearance, and urban renewal, and qualifies as an eligible project within the meaning of Section 66.431(4)(bm), Wisconsin Statutes, as amended.
2. The objectives of the Authority cannot be achieved solely through rehabilitation.
3. This Spot Acquisition is feasible and conforms to the general plan of the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That this property is declared surplus to municipal needs and that the proper City officials are authorized and directed to execute a quit claim deed and any other related document(s) deemed necessary to effectuate the transfer of title to the Authority without monetary consideration; and, be it
Further Resolved, That to implement this Spot Acquisition, certain official action may be taken to support the new land uses after redevelopment including, among other things, changes in zoning; vacation and removal of streets, alleys, and other public ways; changes in the location of sewer and water mains and other public facilities; and other public actions deemed necessary to effectuate the purpose of this acquisition including the prohibition of any new construction on this property, and accordingly, the Council:
1. Pledges its cooperation in helping to carry out this Spot Acquisition.
2. Directs that no new construction shall be permitted or authorized on this property by any agencies, boards, or commissions of the City under local codes or ordinances unless as authorized by the Council under Section 66.431(6)(e), Wisconsin Statutes.
3. Directs the various public officials, departments, boards, and agencies of the City having administrative responsibilities in the premises likewise to cooperate to such end and to exercise their respective functions and powers in a manner consistent with the Authority's objectives.
4. Stands ready to consider and take appropriate action upon proposals and measures designed to effectuate redevelopment of this property; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the City Clerk is authorized and directed to transmit a certified copy of this resolution to the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works, the Commissioner of the Department of Neighborhood Services, the City Engineer, the Assessment Commissioner and the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee, and to such other agencies, boards, and commissions of the City having administrative jurisdiction in the premises described above; and, be it
