Commercial Contract
Commissioner Zorc discussed site improvements that would be necessary for
the parcel of land at 1855 98th Avenue. He recommended directing Public
Works Director Rich Szpyrka to return to the Board during the due -diligence
period with an estimate of the site -improvement costs. County Attorney Dylan
Reingold clarified that the 15 -day due -diligence period, stated in the
Commercial Contract, would give the buyer the opportunity to decide if the
property would be suitable for their needs.
Commissioner Zorc then mentioned that the property was sold to the current
owner in March of 2020. Emergency Services Director Tad Stone stated that
he had looked at the property when the parcel was on the market previously, but
there was not access to 18th Street, as the access easement was not available to
be purchased at the time. County Administrator Jason Brown provided
background related to the prior sale of the property. He made mention that
water and sewer were readily available at the location being discussed, and he
spoke in favor of the purchase.
