Title

Resolution declaring a City-owned vacant lot at 2425-27 North 33rd Street surplus to municipal needs and authorizing its sale to Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Inc., for residential construction, in the 15th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the sale of a vacant lot for construction of a single-family home pursuant to Section 304-49-17, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances.

Body

Whereas, By adoption of File No. 050942 on December 13, 2005, the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee approved the sale of nine City-owned vacant lots to Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Inc., a community-based organization, for construction of single-family homes that will be sold to qualified owner-occupants; and

Whereas, Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Inc., has offered to purchase for $1 an additional City-owned vacant lot at 2425-27 North 33rd Street (Tax Key No. 326-0903-000-2) to complete its home construction plans for the area; and

Whereas, Section 304-49-17 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances allows the City to accept unsolicited offers to purchase when the City of Milwaukee (“City”) receives fair compensation, whether monetary or non-monetary; and

Whereas, Sale of this lot will allow Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Inc., to continue to provide affordable homeownership opportunities to low and moderate-income families and will provide the City with fair compensation though additional tax base and housing opportunities; and

Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) recommends sale of this lot with closing contingent on DCD approval of final site and building plans; and

Whereas, This lot will be sold in “as is” condition without representations or warranties including but not limited to soil quality and subsurface condition; and

Whereas, The City Plan Commission has determined that this lot is surplus to municipal needs; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the vacant lot at 2425-27 North 33rd Street is declared surplus to municipal needs and that the Offer from Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Inc., is accepted; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD or designee is authorized to perform such acts as necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution including accepting the Offer, executing the deed and releasing any deed restrictions that prevent construction; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the proceeds from said sale be credited to the Reserve for Tax Deficit Fund Account No. 0001-334106.
