Council defers decision on two downtown property purchase agreements to July 1
Summary
The City Council heard presentations on two potential downtown property purchases — 7015–7025 Douglas Avenue (former Big Sky Bridal and adjacent parcels) and a 14,000-square-foot S & C Auto rear lot — and voted to defer action to the July 1 meeting amid questions about timing relative to the Downtown Urbandale master plan.
Aaron, a city staff member, presented two potential purchase agreements tied to downtown master-plan objectives: (1) 7015–7025 Douglas Avenue (the former Big Sky Bridal/Jerry Green building, two buildings totaling about 5,800 square feet plus a back parking area) for a negotiated purchase price of $850,000; and (2) an estimated 14,000-square-foot rear parking lot behind S & C Auto at $6.50 per square foot (approximately $91,000 at the estimated size). Karen DeYoung, the city's economic development director, was present with the presentation materials.
