This parcel was acquired in 1983 to settle a property dispute arising from an <br /> encroachment by the ridgeline trail. This property has been managed since it's <br /> acquisition as a rental homesite and is currently vacant. Staff has determined it <br /> financially impractical to make facility improvements required by the Americans with <br /> Disabilities Act (ADA) and the building code which are required for the property to be <br /> operated as a city owned facility open to the public. Therefore, the property is <br /> considered not suitable for public use and is surplus property. <br /> Cascades Raptor Care Center (CRCC) has offered to purchase this property from the city. <br /> CRCC has requested several financial concessions be granted by the city in order to <br /> .help CRCC develop this property. This request has merit since CRCC's use of the <br /> property will be supportive of a goal stated in•the Parks and Recreation Plan for the <br /> development of a nature interpretive center on the site. Staff is in basic agreement <br /> with CRCC that proceeding with negotiations and a subsequent sale of this property <br /> would be in the best interest of both parties. The City Attorney's office has returned <br /> an opinion that this transaction may be executed by staff with the agreement of the <br /> City Council. <br /> The procedure 'being proposed is as follows: <br /> 1. The property boundaries will be adjusted to exclude the ridgeline trail. <br /> 2. An appraisal of the property will be conducted by Lane County staff. The <br /> appraisal will be the sale price for the property. This price is expected to be <br /> in the range of $ 100,000 - $ 130,000. <br />
