RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A PURCHASE
AGREEMENT FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY INCLUDED IN THE
VILLAGE OPEN -SPACE APPLICATION
WHEREAS, the Village of Brooklyn Center desires to acquire lands to
be preserved for permanent open -space use, and has made application to
the Federal Government for financial assistance therefor under Title VII of
the Housing Act of 1961 as amended; and
WHEREAS, in a letter received at the Village Hall on October 10,
1966, the Regional Director of Urban Renewal advised the Village that said
application had been approved and financial assistance from the Federal
Government assured; and
WHEREAS, Parcel 5600, Plat 89105, Hennepin County is held in fee
title by Mr. C. N. Kurup, and said parcel is included among the parcels
desired to be acquired and for which financial assistance has been requested
as described above; and
WHEREAS, the Village Planning Commission reviewed the proposed
acquisition on April 21, 1966, and thereupon adopted a resolution approving
said acquisition and stating that such acquisition was in conformance with
the comprehensive plan for the community; and
WHEREAS, as required by regulation promulgated by the Department
of Housing and Urban Development applicable to land acquisitions under the
aforementioned Title VII, two appraisals have been obtained which estimate
the fair market value of the subject parcel and improvements thereon at
$24,200.00 and $25,537.35, respectively, both values including the payment
of all outstanding special assessments by the seller, and said appraisals
being on file in the Office of the Village Clerk; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the "Land Acquisition Policy Statement" adopted
by the Village Council on April 18, 1966, efforts to negotiate the purchase of
said parcel were initiated, with the result that the owner will not accept less
than the sum of $23, 000.00 for the property including the payment by the
owner of all outstanding special assessments currently levied against the
property; and
WHEREAS, based upon the aforementioned appraisals, and upon the
opinion of counsel that the cost of acquisition of the parcel through eminent
domain proceedings would likely equal or exceed the sale price requested by
the owner, the Village Council finds the sum of $23, 000.00 is a fair sum to
pay for acquisition of fee title to the subject property:
