Discussion of an Unsolicited Offer from Forges Realty Group to Purchase City-owned Property Located at 112 South Bluford Avenue. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix) In August of the year 2016, the City acquired property at 100 and 112 S. Bluford Avenue consisting of two parcels(17-22-28-5504-02-090 and 17-22-28-5504-02-040)containing seven original lots forming a rectangle of 178 ft. along the east side of S. Bluford Avenue and 85 ft. along the south side of Magnolia St.; the total land area is approximately 15,000 SF. A 940 SF wood-framed commercial storefront building constructed in 1925 sits on the southern end of the property. The City purchased these two parcels for a total of$225,000 which was $25,000 higher than the appraised value in 2016. The City recently received an unsolicited offer from Forges Realty Group to purchase the property for a total price of$135,000. It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager and Attorney to obtain a fair market appraisal of the property using up to $3500 from the contingency fund balance; and, pending the appraisal, to bring a contract to the Commission in compliance with Section C-8 of the City Charter for its consideration. The proposed offer of $135,000 is considerably less than what the City paid in 2016. However,it should be considered that the buyer intends to create a viable office building on the property, adding it to the tax base. It should also be considered that the buyer would need to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 to renovate the building to a leasable condition, and the buyer has indicated willingness to comply with downtown design standards, which could result in additional expense. Assistant City Manager Shadrix shared it is good news when the City gets unsolicited offers to buy City owned property as that is a sign of equality being created in the City. The offer before the City Commission this evening is from Forges Realty Group to purchase the property at 112 Bluford Ave. for a total price of $135,000. Currently, a 940 SF wood-framed commercial storefront building sits on the southern end of the 15,000 SF property. According to Section C-8 (2) of the City Charter, "When any proposal for the disposition of real property owned by the city, either by sale or by lease for a term exceeding five (5) years, shall receive a majority vote of the members of the City Commission and the fair market value of the real property concerned exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00), such action shall not be effective unless it has been acted upon by the City Commission after a public hearing preceded by at least seven (7) days' notice of the hearing and the proposed action by publication in the manner set forth '! above". Staff's recommendation this evening is to authorize the City Manager and Attorney to obtain a fair market appraisal of the property using up to $3500 from the contingency fund balance; and, pending the appraisal, to bring a contract to the Commission in compliance with the City Charter. The proposed offer of$135,000 is considerably less than what the City paid in 2016. However, it should be considered that the buyer intends to create a viable office building on the property, adding it to the tax base. It should also be considered that the buyer would need 18 I Page ,v 1 Regular City Commission Meeting December 4,2018 to spend between $50,000 and $100,000 to renovate the building to a leasable condition, and the buyer has indicated willingness to comply with downtown design standards, which could result in additional expense. Brief discussion ensued. Motion: Move to approve up to $3500 from the Contingency Fund for appraisal of 112 South Bluford Avenue; Moved by Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Grogan; Motion carried unanimously. 19. Discussion of an Unsolicited Offer from Summit XV Holdings, LLC to Purchase 13.51 acres of City-owned Property Located at 2012 Ocoee Apopka Road. (Assistant City Manager Shadrix) In the year 2000, the City acquired 318± acres of land from the Coca Cola Company known as the Crown Point Property for a total price of$3,750,000.00,bringing the price per acre of parcels to$11,792.45. The City subsequently sold select parcels from this transaction at cost to the Orange County School Board. All of the holdings of both agencies are part of the Crown Point PUD which is a contract zoning agreement that sets specific uses within the entire property complex. Since that time,the City has selectively sold off pieces of the property as market demands produced robust offers for purchase that could be considered beneficial to the City. The City recently received an unsolicited offer from Summit XV Holdings LLC for purchase of 13.51 acres(see map attachment)of the Crown Point PUD that includes the following tracts: 6C,6E,6F, 6G,20,27, and 33. These tracts range in uses from "village center" to "mixed use," and development standards in the PUD require an urban style of development. Additionally, the adopted traffic mitigation plan requires that tract 33 be constructed as an urban street section (referred to as Main Street) that connects Crown Point Parkway to Ocoee Apopka Road. The offer by Summit XV Holdings is a standard contract that offers a price of$93,750.00 per net useable acre with the intent to utilize the inspection and due diligence periods to obtain necessary approvals to construct a townhome subdivision at an approximate density of ten dwelling units per acre. Addendum A of the contract offer contains a summation of the terms of the contract. It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager and Attorney to obtain a fair market appraisal of the property using up to $3500 from the contingency fund balance; and,pending the appraisal, to bring a contract to the Commission in compliance with Section C-8 of the City Charter for its consideration. Using the per acre cost of$11,792.45 that the City of Ocoee paid to acquire said property in the year 2000,the proposed offer of $93,750.00 far exceeds the up-front expenditures, and a proposed townhome subdivision on the site, if approved,would provide additional tax base to the City. Motion: Move to approve up to $3500 from the Contingency Fund for appraisal of 2012 Ocoee Apopka Road; Moved by Commissioner Wilsen, seconded by Commissioner Firstner; Motion carried unanimously. STAFF ACTION ITEMS - None City Manager Frank commended City Planner Rumer and his staff for doing an exceptional job preparing for tonight's meeting. Mayor Johnson commented he is very thankful for the entire City staff. He noted that when he attends functions he is always commended on the great work of the City. COMMENTS FROM COMMISSIONERS - 8:43 PM Commissioner Oliver — Announced he would like to get consensus from the Commission on moving forward with the establishment and operation of the Ocoee Youth Council (OYC). He is 19IPage Regular City Commission Meeting December 4,2018 looking to hire a consultant to facilitate this process. The position would consist of roughly 50- 60 hours per month at $15/hour. He stated the required funds have already been allocated for this position within the OYC's budget. Mayor Johnson asked if this would be paid out of the OYC's previously approved Budget and Commissioner Oliver confirmed. Commissioner Grogan asked how the mentioned legislative trips for the youth would be funded. Commissioner Oliver explained a group of roughly 25 middle school children will be traveling to Louisiana State Capital to learn how a bill is written and supported. Those children were granted a private scholarship, which will cover all of the trip's expenses. Commissioner Wilsen asked City Manager Frank if he had spoken to Commissioner Oliver. City Manager Frank confirmed he has spoken to Commissioner Oliver and advised him to bring it before the Commission for consensus to move forward. He noted that a good start would be to create an enabling resolution for the OYC which would define the youth council and outline the employment agreement for a consultant. Mayor Johnson requested a Staff member to be assigned to the OYC, and asked if Commissioner Oliver was going to be the liaison. Commissioner Oliver agreed a dedicated staff member would be a great idea and confirmed that he would be the liaison for the OYC. City Manager Frank shared he believed this should be presented to the City Attorney for direction on how to structure the Board. He thinks it should be more like a standing Committee versus an Advisory Board due to the children's age and Sunshine Law requirements. Consensus of the City Commission was to move forward with the Ocoee Youth Council and bring back a resolution in January. Commissioner Firstner—Wished everyone a safe and Happy Holiday. Commissioner Wilsen — 1) Announced the Park and Recreation Advisory Board Members will be out on December 17th and 19th to judge the local residential light displays. 2) Wished everyone a safe and Happy Holiday, as well as a wonderful New Year. 3) Looks forward to seeing everyone at the next Commission Meeting on January 15th Commissioner Grogan — 1) Wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2) Thanked the Officers for an outstanding job.
