Case #11: Consider Iutrodnction of Sale Ordinance to Permit Sale of Land to Peck Properties, LLC City Attorney Goodrich stated that Peck Properties negotiated with the City of Ramsey and built their new building at 13915 Radium Street NW in 1997. The City entered into negotiations for the sale of the southern parcel to Northern Airgas in 1998. During the negotiations with Northern Airgas, it was determined that 70 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, in Business Park 95 Second Addition would not be required for the sale to Northern Airgas. Peck Properties had indicated interest in acquiring the 70 feet of property to have included on to his property. Mark Peck agreed to pay $1.50 per square foot, which brought the total purchase price to $39,060. The negotiations were completed in 1998, however, the deed was never recorded and the City did not receive the payment for the 70 feet of property. Mark Peck recently contacted the City requesting to complete the sale of land for the property he has interest in acquiring. The case presented to the Council would introduce the sale ordinance committing the sale of that 26,040 square feet tract of land the City owns to Peck Properties, LLC, a Minnesota Limited Liability Company. The purchase price of the land would be $39,060. Anoka County has assigned the value to the property of $9,700, according to the Assessor's office. Motion by Councilmember Hendfiksen, seconded by Councilmember Kurak, to introduce Ordinance #02-02- permitting the sale of a 26,040 square foot tract of City owned land to Peck Properties, LLC, a Minnesota Limited Liability Company. Said land is legally described in the sale ordinance. Motion can'ied. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Hendriksen, Kurak, Anderson, and Zimmerl~an. Voting No: None.
