AUTHORIZING THE PLYMOUTH
AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE OUTLOT
THROUGH HENNEPIN COUNTY

D, BASS LAKE HEIGHTS ADDITION
WHEREAS, demand for affordable single family housing in Plymouth far exceeds the supply due
partly to the high cost of land in the City; and,
WHEREAS, the opportunity exists for the Plymouth Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) to purchase through Hennepin County a vacant buildable tax forfeited property of almost
2.5 acres at a price to be determined by Hennepin County; and,
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 469.041, authorizes the County to convey property to the HRA
for as low as no cost; and
WHEREAS, the City Council supports the purchase of the property by the HRA at a minimum
price equal to the assessments owed on the property for the development of affordable single
family homes; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council's approval of the purchase of the property by the HRA has been
requested by Hennepin County as a condition for the County to consider such a sale.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it hereby authorizes the Housing and Redevelopment In and
For the City of Plymouth to purchase through Hennepin County the tax forfeited property
designated as Outlot D, Bass Lake Heights Addition (Tax Identification No. 03-118-22-41-0045),
for the development of affordable single family homes; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council supports the HRA in its efforts to acquire
