Council approves conveyance of 5,867 sq ft at 301 Frederick Avenue to adjacent property owner for $1
Summary
Council adopted an ordinance to convey a 5,867‑square‑foot portion of city property at 301 Frederick Avenue to the adjacent owner at 715 Douglas Avenue for nominal consideration ($1) after public notice; staff said the retained portion will keep sidewalk and bus‑stop improvements.
The mayor and council voted to adopt an ordinance declaring a 5,867‑square‑foot portion of city‑owned property at 301 Frederick Avenue as no longer necessary for public use and authorizing its conveyance to the adjacent property owner at 715 Douglas Avenue for nominal consideration.
City staff explained the parcel is partially improved with a sidewalk and an area reserved for a future bus shelter; staff recommended retaining the northern piece containing those public improvements and conveying the unimproved southern portion (5,867 sq ft) back to the adjacent property owner for $1, which mirrors the way the land was originally conveyed to the city in 1964. The public‑notice requirements were satisfied, staff said; the ordinance passed by voice vote.
Quote: "The nominal amount is $1," staff said when council asked about the conveyance price.
Outcome: ordinance adoption approved by council (nominal consideration, conveyance to adjacent owner).
