DESCRIPTION
The County acquired two residential lots lying adjacent to the north side of W. Pipkin Road and to the east of Dossey Road in conjunction with a project to four-lane a roadway known as W. Pipkin Road Improvement Project. The County negotiated the purchase of the lots in their entirety due to impacts to the properties by the project. The project has been completed and the necessary right-of-way for the completed roadway has been excluded, which resulted in remnant parcels which are no longer needed by the County. The parcels are rectangular shaped containing a total of approximately 31,420 square feet. The County hired an independent appraiser to establish a market value for the parcels and a total value of $285,000 was established. In an effort to reduce the County’s Land Inventory, staff is requesting the Board to declare the parcels surplus and to authorize the public sale of the parcels, in a single sale, to the highest bidder whose bid meets or exceeds the minimum bid amount and approve the appraised amount of $285,000 as the minimum bid.
Florida Statutes allow for the disposal of County-owned real property by declaring the property surplus and authorizing a public sale to the highest bidder. Declaring the subject parcels surplus and authorizing their sale will allow the public to purchase the parcels, place them back on the tax roll, remove the properties from the County Land Inventory and allow the County to cease maintenance activities associated with the parcels.
