- Analysis -
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 two City-owned vacant lots in the area of North 22nd Street and West Vine Street and direct the conveyance of the properties to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee for sale 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 properties in the area of North 22nd Street and West Vine Street, more particularly described as:
1805 North 22nd Street (Tax Key No. 350-1864-000-5)
1813-15 North 22nd Street (Tax Key No. 350-1866-000-6)
; and
Whereas, The City waived its right to receive the statutory notices and the Authority conducted a Public Hearing on September 21, 1999 pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes; and
Whereas, The Authority determined the subject properties to be blighted within the meaning of Section 66.431(4)(bm), Wisconsin Statutes, as amended, and requested approval of these Spot Acquisitions 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 these Spot Acquisitions conform 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 these City-owned vacant lots have no possible municipal use and are surplus to the City's needs; and
Whereas, After acquisition, the Authority desires to convey these properties to owner-occupants who meet the CityHomes criteria and has submitted a Land Disposition Report pursuant to Wisconsin Statutes, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and
Whereas, The Public Hearing conducted on September 21, 1999, concurrently addressed the disposition of these properties as required by Wisconsin Statutes; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that these Spot Acquisitions are approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That it is found, determined, and reaffirmed that:
1. These properties are blighted and in need of blight elimination, slum clearance, and urban renewal, and qualify as eligible projects 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. These Spot Acquisitions are feasible and conform to the general plan of the City; and, be it
Further Resolved, That these properties are 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 documents deemed necessary to effectuate the transfer of title to the Authority without monetary consideration; and, be it
Further Resolved, That to implement these Spot Acquisitions, 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 these Spot Acquisitions including the prohibition of any new construction on these properties, and accordingly, the Council:
1. Pledges its cooperation in helping to carry out these Spot Acquisitions.
2. Directs that no new construction shall be permitted or authorized on these properties 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 these properties; 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
