Committee approves acceptance of 3.77-acre donation at 999 Mayview Court for potential open space
Summary
Assistant City Manager Damon Duquesne said heirs offered to donate a 3.77-acre parcel at 999 Mayview Court if the city pays transfer fees and any due taxes (estimated under a couple thousand dollars); staff recommended acceptance to preserve open space given floodplain constraints, and the committee approved the resolution by voice vote.
The City Finance Committee approved a resolution accepting the donation of a 3.77-acre parcel at 999 Mayview Court.
Assistant City Manager Damon Duquesne told the committee the heirs of the property approached the city offering the lot in exchange for payment of transfer fees and any taxes due, which staff estimated would be "probably less than a couple thousand dollars" and said funds are available in the budget. Duquesne said staff evaluated the lot and concluded it is not suitable for residential development because it sits in the center of a residential neighborhood and "because of the... the topography of the land and there's a significant flood plain influence there." He said the parcel offered a "good opportunity to maintain some open space" consistent with the 2045 comprehensive plan and suggested future amenities such as a trail.
A motion to approve the resolution was made, seconded and passed by voice vote. The transcript records 'Aye' and no opposed speakers; the specific vote tally was not recorded in the meeting transcript.
