Council weighs selling small lot at 455 East Washington, directs staff to contact abutting owners
Summary
Council discussed disposition options for a small city-owned lot at 455 E. Washington (previously considered by Habitat for Humanity) and instructed staff to proceed with outreach to adjacent property owners about purchase or public sale.
Staff updated the council on 455 East Washington Street, a parcel previously considered by Habitat for Humanity but found to be too small for development. The Board of Works had discussed offering the lot to abutting landowners or holding a public auction; staff said the council ultimately must authorize disposition and asked whether to proceed with notice to adjacent owners.
Councilors directed staff to reach out to abutting property owners and proceed with the process to offer the lot for sale to neighbors; staff said they would follow the statutory notification process or pursue a public auction depending on council direction.
