\ OTHER BUSINESS
" )
Appraisal/Andover Station - Mr. Carlberg stated he provided copies of the market value appraisal
for Andover Station for the Authority's review. This can be discussed at the next EDA meeting.
Redevelopment/Bunker Lake Boulevard-Crosstown area - Attorney Hawkins reported he contacted
Mr. Steve Orttel, owner of the building along Bunker Lake Boulevard that had the fire, about the
possible acquisition of the building by the City. Mr. Orttel indicated he wanted $200,000 for that
property, feeling that is what it was worth before it was damaged. There was about $60,000 worth
of damage, so the value now is about $140,000. He was willing to sell the property for that much.
The county has commenced eminent domain proceedings across the property for the acquisition of
easement needed for Bunker Lake Boulevard. Based on what Mr. Orttel paid for that property, he
felt the price is a little high, but he was not sure what the other four-plexes would sell for. He felt
it would take several months before an appraisal could be done. A decision needs to be made fairly
soon. After discussion, it was agreed the Staff and Attorney should research recent sales of similar
properties to get a better idea of the market value. It was agreed to discuss this further at the next
meeting when more information is available.
Signage of commercial lot for sale - Mr. Carlberg stated at this time he expected to receive several
proposals for the development of the lot that is available in Andover Commercial Park. If none of
those are acceptable, then it would be appropriate to place a sign on that parcel. It fronts
Commercial Boulevard but Bunker Lake Boulevard can be seen from the rear of the lot.
