PROPOSED LAND SALE
The City owns 7.5 acres in the Woodburn Industrial Park at the southwest corner of
National Way. The original purchase intent of the property was to consolidate public
works field shops into one location and to provide a water well for this particular service
area. Over the years the cost of the consolidation goal has escalated and the value of
this property has grown to where City staff believe it in the best interest of the City to
surplus a portion of this asset and utilize the proceeds more effectively in Public Works.
In addition, another private development concern has offered a purchase agreement for
said property, if surplused, in order to facilitate their multi-million dollar improvement to
property located on Highway 214. In fact, the City Council authorized the initial sale of
3.076 acres of this property at your 12/17/90 meeting. This hearing is to decide upon the
sale of an additional one acre of land along the same terms and conditions to the same
purchaser. The requirements for the sale of real property are governed by ORS 221.725
Parcel Details:
The mother parcel of 7.5 acres was sold on contract to the City by the developers of the
Industrial Park on 3/13/80 for a purchase price of $100,000 or $13.333/acre. The site was
acquired on 2/13/81 after full payment by Public Works funds. The City has developed
a well site on the northerly portion and has leased acreage to the bus transportation
company for parking storage. These operations will not be affected by the proposed
partition and land sale. The appraised value effective July, 1990 for an approximate 3.25
acre parcel was $92,000 or $28,308 per acre or $0.65 per square foot of parcel. The
appraisal is recent enough to warrant the same terms and conditions for this additional
acre.
The Planning Commission, at the April 11th meeting is being presented the parcel
partition of the four plus acres and access easement to National Way. You may recall
that the original 3.076 acres partition was approved on 12/13/90 by the Planning
Commission. Now, this three plus acres will be joined with the new one acre to create
a revised partition of 4 plus acres. It is anticipated that this legal partition will be
approved and this additional one acre can be accommodated for sale.

Proposed Land Sale

Related Details:
On 8/27/90 the Council held a public hearing concerning the comprehensive plan
amendment and zone map amendment necessary to facilitate this retail center
development. No opposition was voiced, the Council unanimously approved the
authorization to proceed with the contingencies contained therein subject to the proposed
land sales. On 11/26/90 the authorizing ordinance was formally adopted. During this
delayed time, the sales agreement for the other one acre parcel was signed with Morgan
Drive Away. On 12/17/90 the City authorized the initial sale of 3.076 acres per Council
Bill 1267. We are now able to proceed with the sale of an additional acre to finalize this
development proposal.
Summary Recommendation:
It is proposed that this parcel of property be declared surplus and sold for the current
appraised value. This action is in the public's interest because:
1. The City has been unable to utilize the industrial site for its original intent other
than the 1+ acre associated with the water well. The excess acreage has been an
investment into a fixed asset of property with no other utilization but to lease a portion to
the bus company. The subject partition has been vacant, unimproved land and remains
in this condition.
2. The City Council previously approved through a public hearing on 10/23/89 a
lease with option to but this similar parcel by Transit Homes of America, Inc. At that time
the Council agreed to declare it surplus and proceed with the agreement, which
eventually did not materialize. In addition, the City Council recently declared this parcel
as surplus on 12/17/90 and agreed to sell 3.076 acres.
3. Outside grant assistance and internal reserves for construction of consolidated
shop facilitated did not occur and it is unlikely that such resources will be available in the
future. In addition, Measure No. 5 restricts the City's property tax and may affect the
general financial environment in which the City must operate in the future.
4. The City's interest would be met in stimulating economic development and
reducing unproductive assets during a period of fiscal constraint. The sale of this parcel
will enable the City to pursue other priority public works needs or pursue this same
original project in another location that is less valuable than the industrial park. I
recommend the surplus designation and sale of this parcel petition.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
ON SALE OF CITY REAL PROPERTY
On Monday, April 15, 1991, at ~00 p.m., the Woodburn City Council will
conduct a public hearing on the proposed sale of the below described city
property. The hearing shall be conducted in the Woodburn City Council
Chambers, 270 Montgomel~ Street, Woodburn, Oregon.
The property to be sold is described as follows:
Beginning at the Southeast corner of Lot 1, Block 1, Industa'ial Park
Addition No. 3 as said subdivision is platted and recorded in Volume 3~, Page
9, Book of Town Plats for Marion County, Oregon; thence North 89" B8'30" West
along the South line of said lot, 291.60 feet; thence North ~1° 17'~8" East

Soufl] ~0° 13'26" West 10~.72 feet to the point of beginning and containing 1.00

p~perty because it is not needed for expansion of city facilities and the
sale of the property for fair market value will bring needed revenue to the
city and will facilitate private development.
The nature of the proposed sale, general terms thereof, including an
appraisal and evidence of market value of the city property shall be fully
disclosed by the City Council at the time of the public hearing. Any resident
of the city shall be given an opportunity to present written or oral testimony
