Southend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regul Meeting. - January 18, 1980 <br />7. PROGRESS REPORTS (continued) <br />I <br />Ellison continues.... <br />If they are not interested in this, we <br />would like to recapture total interest <br />in the land so we are in a position to <br />dispose of it along with the 100 parcels <br />for which there are no buyers known to <br />us at this point, and for which we are <br />presuming there will be none in the future. <br />In any event, our conversation with HUD <br />indicated that the Commission may dispose <br />of the remaining inventory for $1.00 per <br />parcel if it so desires. In order to <br />ac omplish that, a simple resolution with <br />a disposition plan attached to it is <br />ne essary. We therefore, intend to continue <br />our effort to put together a disposition <br />plan which would allow the sale of lots on <br />a staged basis. First to adjoining owners <br />for $1.00, secondly, to LaSalle Park residents <br />for $1.00, and if any inventory remains, then to <br />an one interested in owning land in that area. <br />It is our feeling that this process will result <br />in the land inventory being out of our <br />hands during 1980. Upon developing the plan, <br />and prior to bringing it to the Commission <br />for approval, we intend to work through <br />the LaSalle Park Council and request that <br />they convene for us a meeting of residents <br />either at the LaSalle Recreation Center <br />or at the LaSalle Center on Western <br />Avenue so that we might have an opportunity <br />to talk to people in the area about the <br />disposition plan and gain input that may <br />be appropriate to shaping the plan. We <br />wo ld then hope to come back to the <br />Comission with a resolution and plan. <br />The only problem that is foreseen is that <br />sane persons who have purchased land <br />over the years may be a little angry <br />if the Commission elects now to sell <br />lots for $1.00. It is the staff's feeling <br />that buyers were willing to pay that amount <br />of money because of needs on their part. <br />However, the clear present public need is <br />to get the land back on the tax rolls. And, <br />it appears that the $1.00 sale arrangement <br />is the only way this can be accomplished in <br />thle foreseeable future. <br />-23- <br />
