Yankton County declares three parcels surplus, adds redevelopment requirement
Summary
The commission declared three county parcels surplus and set sealed‑bid sales; commissioners added a requirement that successful bidders redevelop parcels within three years or the property will revert to the county.
The Yankton County Commission declared three parcels surplus on March 17 and directed staff to sell them by sealed bid, including a redevelopment covenant to ensure the parcels are not left vacant after sale.
Legal descriptions were read into the record for the parcels, including a parcel tied to civil case 66‑CIV‑24260 and a parcel listed as Lot 5, Block 74 (Todd's addition). Commissioners debated whether the county should require residential development and how to word the covenant; staff advised that development requirements be written into the bid package rather than the surplus motion itself.
After discussion, the board approved declaring the parcels surplus and asked staff to include a three‑year redevelopment requirement in the bid documents, with reversion to Yankton County if the requirement is not satisfied.
What happens next: staff will prepare sealed‑bid documents that include the three‑year redevelopment clause and publish the sale process; the board indicated it will enforce reversion if development does not occur on schedule.
