Plan Commission declares small utility building at 223 Southwest Ave surplus property
Summary
As the water utility transitions services, the commission declared a small concrete storage building on a triangular lot at 223 Southwest Avenue surplus, noting the parcel is nonbuildable on its own; the decision moves to the Common Council to determine disposal.
The Plan Commission voted to declare a small, decommissioned water utility building at 223 Southwest Avenue surplus property.
Jennifer (staff) said the building is a small concrete storage structure on a triangular lot abutting a railroad; it has no windows, no bathroom and no HVAC, and the parcel by itself is not buildable under current zoning. Jennifer said the water utility intends to dispose of the facility as it transitions services and that staff has not identified another city department with a practical reuse for the building.
Staff noted the property could be repurposed if a buyer invested in building improvements and potentially sought rezoning, but the water utility prefers to dispose of the property. Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to declare the property surplus; the motion carried. The Common Council will determine the disposal method.
Ending: Staff said it had circulated an inquiry to department heads about potential reuse and would present the surplus determination and proposed disposal approach to the Common Council.
