Target, out.parcels potential layout <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said that the Rubin property (old Nebel site) went before the Code Enforcement Board last <br /> <br />night for maintenance issues on the property. Mr. Paradise explained that Mr. Triece met with Mr. Rubin to discuss <br /> <br />the purchase of his property and Mr. Rubin indicated that he would sell his property to the City for $50 a square foot. <br /> <br />Mr. Triece offered to sell the eRA properties for $25 a square foot and Mr. Rubin indicated that he would pay $9 a <br /> <br />square foot for the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said that the City has met with a developer who is willing to work around the Rubin property <br /> <br />and develop the two CRA parcels. <br /> <br />Mr. Paradise said the land could be used as an urban pocket park. Mr. Paradise distributed and reviewed a <br /> <br />potential layout for a Downtown Urban Pocket Park on the Target out-parcel (a copy is on file in the Community <br /> <br />Development Department). <br /> <br />A general discussion ensued regarding eminent domain and the conceptual plans that were prepared for the <br /> <br />Target Outparcel site. The Code Enforcement Board allowed Mr. Rubin 60 days to comply with the code <br /> <br />enforcement action for the maintenance of the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Casselberry suggested a land exchange would allow for the development of two parcels. He also <br /> <br />suggested the area could be used for a pedestrian overpass. <br /> <br />In response to the Board's question, Mr. Paradise said the new eminent domain law requires that any <br /> <br />property acquired through eminent domain for public purpose must remain in that public ownership for at least ten <br /> <br />years. Should it not be kept in public ownership it must be offered back to the original owner for the original <br /> <br />acquisition cost. <br />
