Approved
Background
The City is in the process of buying Right of Way for St. Mary's Road Widening

Project (from Buena Vista Road to Robin Road). In the process of acquisition,

the City needs to acquire property from Mr. & Mrs. Penny at 110 Brennan Road

(parcel 62). Adjacent to the Penny property is a parcel (parcel 5r and a

portion of 6r) that had to be purchased, leaving a remainder that is too small

or odd shaped to be functional (see attached). The Penny's requested the city

sell a portion of said property for the fair market value of the uneconomic

remaining property (0.176 acres) to them. The Fair Market Value amount paid to

the Penny's for the taking on their property does not equal the Fair Market

Value of the uneconomic remainding adjoining property. Therefore, the Penny's

will pay the City the difference at closing, thus, offsetting the cost to the

city.
Analysis
Said property is a remainder of property (less right of way) not needed for the

project. This action is supported by the City Charter Sec. 7-501(4).
Financial Considerations
Exchanging the property saves right of way cost and keeps then property on the

tax digest.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has no objections to this in accordance with the City Charter

ref. the above chapter.
Recommendations/ Actions
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Quit Claim Deed of said uneconomic

remainder to Bobby G. Penny and Connie Penny in exchange for the Fair Market

Value of said uneconomic remaining property, being the difference between the

Fair Market Value of the required right of way of the Penny property less the

Fair Market Value of the remaining property (parcel 5r and a portion of parcel

6r) on the St Mary's Road Project.
