Subject: Res. No. 3039 — Acquisition Offer for Hamilton properties
Date: May 31, 2012
This staff report is to set the offering price for the acquisition of the Hamilton Towing and
Body Shop properties (see attached map). These properties were added to the Airport
Economic Development Area's Acquisition List by Resolution No. 2456 on June 25, 2008.
They were added in an effort to clean and clear the Studebaker Corridor for development of
Ignition Park.
Two of these properties are on the prominent corner of Lafayette and Sample, and the
northernmost property is needed for an electrical power station for the Renaissance District.
Resolution No. 3039 sets the acquisition value of these properties at $280,025. The
acquisition value is the average value as determined by two independent appraisals.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 3039, to allow for the acquisition of these
properties.
