Council accepts lone bid for small Aspen Park parcel, approves sale and replat process
Summary
Council accepted a single bid from neighbor Larry Bakken to purchase a 25‑foot strip adjacent to 1509 South Split Rock for $25.50 and authorized replatting and closing; council recorded the sale after declaring the parcel surplus earlier in the process.
The Brandon City Council approved the sale of a 25‑foot strip of Aspen Park located north of and adjacent to 1509 South Split Rock Boulevard after receiving one bid. The bidder, immediate neighbor Larry Bakken, offered $25.50. Council authorized platting the parcel off and closing the sale to allow the neighbor to use the land — reported staff said the purchaser intends to build a garage to the west of his property and needs the parcel for driveway access.
Staff confirmed the parcel was declared surplus during a previous referendum process and that replatting and closing are required to transfer title. Council approved a motion and second to accept the bid and proceed with platting; the chair called the vote in favor.
The council discussed that the purchaser will need to replat his existing lot and complete any required driveway and access work in coordination with city staff. The motion carried and staff will proceed with platting and closing steps.
