Tim Ryan, City Attorney, explained that in November 2003 the City Commission had declared this property a vacant lot located at 1311 NW 2"d Terrace, as surplus and stated that the City had acquired title due to a lien foreclosure. Attorney Ryan stated that the property had been appraised at $12,500.00 and authorized the property to be listed for sale. He reported that a buyer had made an offer of $16,500.00 to purchase the property with the contingency that the property be allowed for the construction of a single-family residence. He explained that it had been determined that the lot dimensions were not sufficient for a single-family residence and that the prospective • buyer had been aware of this when he entered into the contract. He stated that the contract was before the Commission and that if the Commission agreed with the MINUTES 5 JANUARY 27, 2004 CITY OF DANIA BEACH contract, it would not necessarily mean that the Commission agreed to accept any . variances. Lawrence Leeds, Director of Community Development, explained that this property required certain variances granted by the Commission in order to build. He felt the applicant wanted to determine whether or not the Commission would be opposed to the concept of having a single-family home built on this parcel. Mr. Leeds explained that this property was completely surrounded by existing homes. He clarified for Mayor Anton that the distance between the lot line and the existing home on the east side was approximately 15 feet. City Manager Pato added that the neighbors had been contacted and they had no interest in acquiring this parcel. Commissioner Mikes was concerned that anything built on that size lot would be sub- standard and felt that an effort should be made by the City to divide the lot to entice the neighbors to become interested in acquisition. City Attorney Ryan warned the City not to hold on to the property for too long. City Manager Pato offered to make contact with the neighbors again to determine whether or not their seeming lack of interest in the property was financially motivated. A motion was made by Commissioner Mikes, seconded by Vice-Mayor McElyea, to continue Item 7.5 to the February 24, 2004 City Commission Meeting. The motion • passed on the following 5-0 roll call vote: Commissioner Chunn —yes Vice-Mayor McElyea —yes Commissioner Flury —yes Mayor Anton —yes Commissioner Mikes —yes 8.
