The tract as purchased was rectangular and described as follows: Subject to Ruth Street and Case Avenue, the south 960 feet of the east 280 feet of the Northwest of Section 26, Township 29, Range 22. This tract, after excluding the portions used for streets measures 930 feet along Ruth and 250 feet along Case Avenue and contains 232,500 square feet, or 5.36 acres, for which an award was made by the city in the amount of $40,000. The attached resolution, Board File No. 3397, adopted by the Board of Education on September 20, 1960, declares that the portion of the school site described as fol- lows: The north 400 feet of the south 960 feet of the east 280 feet of the Northwest J of Section 26, Township 29, Range 22 (subject to Ruth Street), which constitutes the north 400 feet, or 43% of the land con- demned and taken by the city in 1957, is not needed for any public purpose and should be offered for sale and sold in ac- cordance with the applicable provisions of Ordinance No. 6576 f as amended. Since this land was acquired by eminent domain proceedings, the ordinance provides that it must first be offered fdr- -"S:le to the prior owner from which the same was taken by the city. The ordinance provides further that the sale price shall not be a less proportion of the amount paid for the whole tract than a proportion of the part to be sold shall bear to the area of the whole tract originally acquired, and further, no such land shall be sold or reconveyed for a - 2 - November 7, 1960 less amount than the fair market value as.appraised and reported by the city's Valuation Engineer, or other competent appraiser appointed in the premises. The area to be sold contains 100,000 square feet or 2.3 acres. Based on the formula in the ordinance the mini- mum price for which the land could be reconveyed is 43% of $40,000, the acquisition cost, or $17,200. However, in my opinion the fair market value of the land to be sold is $20,000, which amount the former owners are willing to pay. In addition, your attention is directed to two conditions of the sale contained in Dr. Conners letter dated September 21 and attached to this file. I, therefore, recommend that the matter be forwarded to the Committee on Lands and that the land be sold to the following persons: Rosemary Jean Archbold Robert P. Frenzel Paula S. Frenzel Harry G. McNeely, Jr. Audrey A. McNeely William E. Frenzel Peter W. Frenzel Donald G. McNeely and that the proceeds of the sale be credited to Bond Fund 300, Ek -13B.
