Title

Resolution accepting the donation of a foreclosed house at 3005 West Kilbourn Avenue in the Historic Concordia neighborhood from LNV Corporation for restoration using the Housing Infrastructure Preservation Fund, in the 4th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes donation of a fire-damaged residential building for restoration by the Department of City Development prior to sale.

Body

Whereas, The bank foreclosed house at 3005 West Kilbourn Avenue has been fire damaged and the Department of Neighborhood Services has issued an order to raze or repair the structure and to stabilize an abandoned, historic property; and

 

Whereas, The house is a blight on the Historic Concordia neighborhood, but demolition would adversely affect the historic character of the area; and

 

Whereas, The property owner, LNV Corporation, has offered to donate the property to the City of Milwaukee (“City”) and will provide the City with a clear title; and

 

Whereas, After donation, the Department of City Development (“DCD”) proposes to use the City’s Housing Infrastructure Preservation Fund to make critical repairs to stabilize the structure and to make the house marketable to an owner-occupant; and

 

Whereas, Prior to using such funds, DCD will consult with the local Common Council member to classify the property as a Special Consideration-Restoration Property pursuant to Section 304-49-2.b-3-a, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the City is authorized to accept donation of the property at 3005 West Kilbourn Avenue from LNV Corporation; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to execute a Donation Agreement with LNV Corporation and to accept the deed and execute other documents necessary to acquire clear title to the property; and, be it

 

Further Resolved, That upon concurrence by the local Common Council member on the designation as Special Consideration-Restoration Property, DCD shall prepare a scope of work and contract for restoration activities using the Housing Infrastructure Preservation Fund to stabilize the house and make it suitable for marketing.
