CONSENT HEARING:
SUBJECT. Authorize Voluntary Acquisition of a Fee Simple Interest in Land, Being All of Lot 10,
Block 5, Hillcrest Addition, Including Improvements, Located at 2212 Carleton Avenue
from Zachary T. Archer and Laci Pirkle Archer in the Amount of$524,000.00 and Pay
Estimated Closing Costs in the Amount of$8,000.00 for a Total Cost of$532,000.00 for
the Central Arlington Heights Drainage Improvement Project(COUNCIL DISTRICT 7)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the voluntary acquisition of a fee simple interest in land, being all of Lot 10, Block 5,
Hillcrest Addition, including improvements, located at 2212 Carleton Avenue from Zachary T. Archer
and Laci Pirkle Archer in the amount of$524,000.00 for the Central Arlington Heights Drainage
Improvement Project (City Project No. 101262);
2. Authorize the acceptance of the fee simple conveyance and payment of estimated closing costs up
to $8,000.00; and
3. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute and record the appropriate conveyance
documents.
DISCUSSION:
Central Arlington Heights Neighborhood is subject to severe localized flooding during rain events.
Mitigating flood risk to the neighborhood through traditional drainage system improvements, such as
increasing the capacity of the pipe system, is cost prohibitive. Voluntary property acquisition will
relieve the residents in the most flood prone homes from ongoing exposure to flood damages.
Therefore, non-reimbursable funding has been appropriated from the Stormwater Capital Projects
Fund to pursue a strategy of voluntary property acquisitions to mitigate chronic flood risk.
Eleven owners of the more flood prone Central Arlington Heights properties, including the owner of
2212 Carleton Avenue, requested that the City buy them out. This is the northernmost property on
Carleton Avenue identified for voluntary acquisition and is the last of five properties on Carleton
Avenue being acquired with Stormwater Utility funding only. Additionally, on Western Avenue
immediately west of the Carleton Avenue properties described above, three properties have already
been acquired with an offer pending on a fourth property to be acquired with Stormwater Utility funds
only. Voluntary acquisition of two additional parcels located on Western Avenue will be facilitated with
FEMA grant funding.
An independent appraisal was obtained to establish the fair market value of the 2212 Carleton Avenue
property. The owners have agreed to sell the property and signed the City's sale and purchase
contract in the amount of$524,000.00. The real estate taxes will be pro-rated with the seller
responsible for taxes due up to the closing date. The City will pay closing costs up to $8,000.00.
Upon City Council approval, staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interest in the property
except for the mineral estate. The deed to the City will contain a surface waiver for the exploration of
the mineral estate.
