Land Bank approves sale of 601 West Second to buyers planning manufactured home
Summary
The Fort Scott Land Bank approved a buyer's offer for 601 West Second; buyers plan a manufactured home on a permanent foundation and expect to invest more than $100,000, but the transcript does not state the final sale price.
The Fort Scott Land Bank on Sept. 16 approved an offer for 601 West Second from buyers who plan to place a manufactured home on a permanent foundation and invest significant funds in site improvements.
Staff reported title issues for the parcel had been resolved recently, and the prospective buyers — introduced to the board during the meeting — provided drawings and financial verification from their home vendor. The manager said the buyers plan to spend more than $100,000 on the housing installation and have a contract and a sizable down payment; they also intend to begin work within 90 days.
Board members confirmed there are no code objections provided the manufactured home is placed on a permanent foundation, and the motion to approve the buyers' amended offer passed with vocal assent. The transcript does not include a specific sale price in the motion; the board discussed a land-bank policy minimum of $1,000 for parcels with good title but did not record a final dollar amount for this transaction in the audible record.
Staff will work with the buyers and the codes office to ensure foundation and permitting requirements are met before construction accrues.
