7.1) Sale of Properly and Amend Purchase Agreement with Family Hope Services
Community Development Director Hurlburt reported on the request to amend the purchase
agreement for the sale of City property at 3950 and 3960 County Road 101 to Family Hope
Services Inc. She stated the Council approved the purchase agreement and contract for deed to
sell the two City owned properties on January 7. It was discovered that the survey of the
property upon which the agreement was based was incorrect with respect to the amount of land
needed from these parcels for right-of-way purposes for County Road 101. She stated an
additional 20.5 feet would be required for right-of-way along the frontage of the property. The
reduced land area would significantly impact the buildable area of the site. She stated Family
Hope Services and staff agreed that a better layout of the site would result if the land lost to the
right-of-way could be regained. She noted that the City owns the adjacent property to the east
water tower site), and staff determined that there would be no detriment to the future needs of
the water system due to the loss of a 20.5 -foot strip of land from the water tower site. She
indicated that there is a drainage way that crosses the southerly part of the strip, over which an
easement should be retained. She stated the amended purchase agreement would include
incorporating the 20.5 feet from the City's site.
