Council committee reviews first reading of resolution to buy property at Brook Park Road; members ask engineer to check drainage
Summary
A first reading considered authorizing purchase of property at 103000 Brook Park Road (parcel 433-17-014). Members raised remediation and elevation concerns and asked the city engineer to evaluate whether the site could function as a retention basin before filling.
The committee took up a first reading of a resolution to authorize the mayor to enter into an agreement with LGP Realy Holdings LLP, a Delaware limited partnership, to purchase the real property known as 103000 Brook Park Road (permanent parcel number 433-17-014). The resolution was presented on first reading; no committee vote to adopt was taken.
During discussion, a council member asked whether remediation (removal of storage tanks and concrete) would leave a low-lying depression that could be used as a retention basin. Another member and staff said the parcel sits approximately three to four feet higher than an adjacent parcel and that water retention may not be feasible. The chair said city engineering staff can evaluate feasibility and report back.
The committee did not take action beyond first reading; the chair said the item remains on first reading and staff will bring engineering feedback to a future meeting.
