Town attorney: negotiations with New Leaf Communities on Mikkelsen Estate have advanced; presentation planned next meeting
Summary
Town Attorney Christian Waugh told the Hilliard Town Council that negotiations with New Leaf Communities over the Mikkelsen Estate property have advanced and that the council will receive a presentation at the next meeting. Public commenters asked whether sale terms will be disclosed.
Christian Waugh, the town attorney, told the Hilliard Town Council on April 16 that negotiations with New Leaf Communities, LLC over the Mikkelsen Estate property have advanced and that the matter will be presented to the council at the next meeting. The attorney said the negotiation process is ongoing and under review; no sale price or final terms were provided at the meeting.
At the public-comment period, resident Todd Jones, who said he recently moved back to the area, asked the council about his offer for a potential property out of the State Farm building and urged the council to clarify which developer it wants to work with. Council President Kenny Sims said Waugh is handling the negotiations and that the town attorney will review Jones’s offer. Heather Gates asked whether the town will notify the public what a property is selling for; the council did not provide that information during the meeting.
The council’s discussion did not include a formal vote or final decision on the Mikkelsen Estate. Waugh also noted the property offers had been discussed at the previous council meeting; he did not present a recommended outcome. The council scheduled a presentation for the next meeting so members and the public can review the status of talks and any proposed terms.
The next procedural step announced at the meeting is a formal presentation to the council at the next scheduled meeting; no date or materials were released during the April 16 session.
