Council to market three city lots near Bridal/Aerial Foundation Park for development
Summary
Council introduced Resolution 2026 K 78 to dispose of three city parcels (10 S. Monroe St., 101 Delaware Ave., and 0 Delaware Ave.) via public auction (GovDeals) with market‑based minimums; staff cited comps around $15,000–$25,000.
Councilmember Jacqueline presented Resolution 2026 K 78 proposing sale of three city‑owned parcels near Bridal/Aerial Foundation Park that were turned to the city after demolition during park development. The parcels are listed as 10 South Monroe Street, 101 Delaware Avenue and 0 Delaware Avenue and staff said they are buildable lots with access to water and sanitary sewer.
Staff recommended marketing the parcels through GovDeals with an approximate five‑week auction period and setting minimums based on recent market comparables—roughly $15,000 to $25,000 depending on lot size. The goal, staff said, is to return the land to productive use near Bridal Foundation Park, Columbia Elementary and the bike trail, and to realize value for taxpayers.
Council discussed timing and the emergency clause; staff said using the emergency clause could accelerate conveyance if there is current buyer interest, but that the auction notice would otherwise require additional time. No formal vote on the resolution was recorded in the committee transcript.
