Planning Board Backs Disposition of City Tax‑Deeded Parcels, Flags Two for Further Review
Summary
The board recommended a favorable disposition for R‑26‑051, a list of tax‑deeded properties to be offered at auction, while asking staff and the city engineer to investigate two parcels (El Hasselbrook Road and El Narrows Road) for drainage and conservation constraints.
Planning staff told the board that R‑26‑051 implements the state statute process for disposing of tax‑deeded parcels through auction. The staff overview noted that properties were conveyed to the city due to delinquent tax bills and required statutory steps before sale.
Board member Dan Hudson flagged two parcels for further attention: one on El Hasselbrook Road that includes sewer cuts and closed drainage outlets and appears largely wetland, and a landlocked parcel off El Narrows Road surrounded by conservation land. Member Varley moved a favorable recommendation on R‑26‑051 but added language requesting the city engineer further investigate those two parcels and confirm any necessary easements before disposition; the board approved the motion unanimously.
