5. Resolution 5575 - Land Transfer - Surplus City PropertyREPORT TO: Doug Russell, City Manager 3�-
FROM: Michael Baker, Director, Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: Surplus Property Transfer
MEETING DATE: August 6, 2012
BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 5570 authorized city staff to advertise the sale of a small
strip of land (0.62 acre) adjacent to the south curb of Three Mile Drive. The property was
conveyed to the city as a result of roadway improvements made by the State of Montana to Three
Mile in the location of the Meridian Street intersection. This parcel has little use to the city as it
is a small strip of green space in front of commercial operations that requires routine
maintenance. This property is unimproved and determined to be unbuildable by the zoning and
planning department
The Notice of Sale was published twice in the Daily Inter Lake. One combined proposal was
received from three adjoining property owners. In lieu of purchase, the three land owners request
a transfer of property ownership and agree to:
• Pay all costs associated with boundary line adjustments as an extension to the existing lot
lines.
• Pay all costs necessary for deed recording, closing, surveys and transfer fees.
• Pay all costs for maintenance of property in accordance with the city of Kalispell's rules
and regulations.
• Adhere to all zoning and planning policies and procedures.
• Pay all costs associated with landscaping so as to co -exist with the already landscaped
areas of the respective above mentioned lots with the exception of the owner of Lot IC
who will landscape the acquired property when the current Lot 1C is developed
The bidders also agree the city shall retain a 20 foot road and utility easement measured from the
back of the curb stop. It is further understand if any work is performed within this easement by
anyone other than the bidders, the property will be returned to the condition it was prior to the
start of said work.
