Brooklyn CIC to sell two parcels to regional sewer district with 50‑year green‑space restriction
Summary
The Brooklyn Community Improvement Corporation backed a sale of two parcels to the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District for the Big Creek Interceptor project at an appraisal price of $78,000; the sale includes a deed restriction keeping the area green space for 50 years and the CIC voted to retain the proceeds for small projects.
Council and the Community Improvement Corporation reported that the CIC met and voted to approve a proposed sale of two small parcels (Cuyahoga County permanent parcel numbers 432‑26‑001 and 432‑26‑002) to the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District to permit construction of a shaft for the Big Creek Interceptor project.
The CIC representative said the appraisal was $78,000 and the sale will include a deed restriction that the area remain green space for 50 years; the CIC also stipulated enhanced restoration after project completion and proposed retaining the sale proceeds for CIC projects rather than turning the funds over to the city general fund.
Why it matters: the purchase enables sewer district work that requires access on the property while giving the community a long‑term green‑space protection in the area adjacent to Ridge and Memphis Roads. Council later voted to suspend rules and adopt the authorizing resolution to permit the sewer district to meet project schedules.
Next steps: sale documents and a deed restriction will be executed and the CIC and sewer district will coordinate restoration and access terms as part of project permitting and construction.
