City approves sale and rezoning of 40-acre parcel to AG Construction LLC with conditions
Summary
The council rezoned 40 acres at 3003 Carlin Trend Drive to Light Industrial and approved a $34,000 purchase offer from AG Construction LLC, requiring corrections to the contract so the buyer, not the city, pays infrastructure costs; the buyer plans a tank-refurbishing facility expected to create about 70 jobs.
The council approved rezoning of city land parcel 005-060-019 (3003 Carlin Trend Drive) from Open Space to Light Industrial as a prerequisite to selling the 40‑acre parcel to AG Construction LLC. City staff said the firm refurbishes large commercial propane tanks, does not fill them on site and intends to operate on septic while extending utilities to the parcel. The purchase price presented was $34,000; an appraisal placed the property at $146,000, and the contract includes a clawback clause and commitments for the purchaser to improve frontage and extend utilities.
Council members raised contract concerns, including an incorrectly drafted section that appeared to require the city to pay for paving and utilities; the council insisted that infrastructure costs be the buyer’s responsibility and discussed shortening a proposed 20‑year right-of-first-refusal on an adjacent parcel to 10 years. After corrections to Section 6.4 specifying the purchaser’s responsibility for infrastructure, Cameron Kinney moved to approve the purchase offer and Denise Taylor seconded; the motion passed. Mayor Holbrook noted a clawback clause requiring development within three years.
