HomeMy WebLinkAboutF-17 - Acquisition of 203 41st Street.0 August 9, 1982 CITY COUNCIL LEND ITEM NO. � 1 TO: CITY COUNCIL AUG 0 9 1982 By fha Q Y COUNCIL FROM: Publ i c Works Di rectaMTY W NEWK)RT Dwm SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF 203 41ST STREET (LOT 13 AND THE NORTHEASTERLY 3:57 FEET OF LOT 14, BLOCK 141, CANAL SECTION), AP# 045-235-08 RECOMMENDATION: If desired, authorize staff to retain an appraiser to determine the. value of 2.03 41st Street. DISCUSSION: Attached is a letter from Daniel C. Castronova, M.D., offering to sell his property at the northwesterly corner of Balboa Boulevard and 41st Street to the City for $175,000. Based on an appraisal made about one year ago to acquire 203 34th Street, this seems to be a reasonable price. The attached Exhibit A shows the Castronova property, as well as the thirteen parcels that the City has already acquired for the widening of Balboa Boulevard. If the City were to acquire this parcel, only six more parcels would remain to be acquired between 33rd Street and 44th Street. If an appraisal of the property is authorized, a market data search will be made to update the data in our previous appraisal for the 34th Street property. This should provide a price range to determine if Dr. Castronova's offer is reasonable and provide enough information to negotiate a purchase. This search and analysis is estimated to cost $5.00 to $700. If it is found that the 34th Street appraisal no longer applies due to substantial changes in the market, it will be necessary to obtain a new appraisal which may cost $1,500 to $2,000. The appraisal fee., as well as purchase price, would be funded from the budgeted Gas Tax Project for the acquisition of property for street widening purposes. Benjamin B.

A PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION 22135 Roscoe Blvd. #203 6325; 513 Canoga Park, California 91304 12131 883-31.00 July 21, 1982 Mr. Don Webb City Engineer 3300 Newport Blvd Newport Beach, California 92663 Dear Mr. Webb: Re: Property located at: 203 41st Street Newport Beach, California 1 am the owner of the above stated property. I have recently purchased another home in Newport Beach located at 1585 Miramar and took posession several days ago. When I purchased the home on .Miramar, I entered into a 90 day escrow allowing me what i considered ample time to sell the 41st Street property. I have since learned that the City of Newport Beach owns perhaps more than one half of the properties located along my side of Balboa Avenue with future plans for widening Balboa Avenue. I have also learned that I cannot improve my property due to these plans, therefore surely presenting obstacles in persuit of a private buyer. My broker has advised me of his telephone conversation with you on Tuesday, July 20, 1982 bringing to your attention that my property is for sale and making it available to the city for purchase. This letter represents a formal offer by me to sell the property for a price of $175,000. My broker also advise§ me that this offer to the City of Newport Beach does not preclude a sale to another party should that opportunity presents itself. If the City decides to persue this offer, please contact my broker, should you want to gain access for appraisal purposes. My broker's name and address is as follows: The Property Mart, Mr. Ed Caine, 18.701 :Sherman Way, Reseda, Ca 91335, Tel # (213) 345 0570. My sincere thanks for any inquiry you may see fit to persue.
