Subject: Administrative Settlement - 1521 — 1527 S Kendall St.
Date: August 09, 2011
This is the staff report for the administrative settlement that is needed for the acquisition of
1521 — 1527 S. Kendall Street. According to the Uniform Relocation Act (Act), which has
been adopted as the Commission's relocation policy, an administrative settlement is
authorized in cases where an additional payment is necessary to acquire a property.
Before the Commission today was Resolution No. 2925, which authorized the purchase of
this property based upon its average appraised value of $25,000. Staff has been working
with the property owners to reasonably reach an agreement to acquire this property.
The property owners have expressed interest in selling this property, but in lieu of being
relocated, instead prefer a lump sum payment. This property was built as a automotive
garage, and is currently being used for auto storage.
The owners have agreed to sell this property for $50,000. Since this property is similar to
1520 — 1526 S Chapin St on today's agenda, it can be assumed that if relocation costs
were incurred, they would be similar, with prices beginning at $69,900.
Staff feels this lump sum administrative settlement of $50,000 is reasonable for this
property and its two parcels of land, and requests your approval of the administrative
settlement to allow the acquisition of this property.
