TO: <br />FROM: <br />RE: <br />DATE: <br />JON HC7N`I� <br />PURCFIASE REQUEST FOR 1118 N. BURNS, TAX KEY # 18-5100-3535 <br />APRIL 29, 1993 <br />I have reviewed the request received by the Board of .Public Works for the <br />purchase of the above referenced property. <br />Subject Property: <br />The lot in question is the vacant parcel north of 1116 N. Burns. The <br />surrounding area is mainly single family and multi -family residential.. There <br />are also a number of vacant lots throughout the block and adjacent blocks. The <br />building on this property (1116) has been recently purchased by the petitioner <br />and is in deteriorated condition. Also, numerous code violations exist because <br />of accumulated garbage. <br />I discussed this request with Dave Norris, planner for the Northeast <br />Neighborhood, and Margie Herman of the Bureau of Housing. The parcel is not <br />involved in any redevelopment plans and the Bureau of Housing did not express <br />interest in any parcels in the Northeast. Both Dave and Margie commented <br />favorably on the possibility of a private citizen purchasing and maintaining <br />the lot in question. <br />Recommendation: <br />I see no reason or plans for the City in retaining this lot. If the petitioner <br />is requesting this lot for the creation of a side yard, or expansion of the <br />existing building he owns, I see no reason to deny the request. Also, I would <br />encourage the combination of the two lots into one parcel and issuing one tax <br />key number. This consolidation would eliminate the possibility of speculation <br />on the lot in question, and would also encourage maintenance of the entire <br />parcel. Therefore, I recommend that the parcel be sold to the petitioner. <br />CC. Pam Meyer <br />Larry Magliozzi <br />
