NEW BUSINESS
Mr. Donald Mason, 2111 Willow Oak Drive, asked why the
City made a reduced offer on the property next to the City
Hall. No: individual has a right to appraise land unless
they are authorized to do so by the State. We need this
property. You try and park out here when something is going
on and you sOmetimes have to walk a long distance. The City
should look forward. This land is really needed.
Mayor Armstrong said three members of the Council were appointed
to make an investigation of the matter. They did a lot of
research. ~he Council accepted the report.
Councilman Lodico questioned Mr. Mason's statement that the
committee acted as appraisers.
Mr. Mason said the report seemed to mean that. Someb09Y
arrived at the figure $10,500.
Councilman Lodico said they did not appraise the property,
but just made an offer.
Councilman Walls said thr.ee brokers were consulted and arrived
at this figure. The figures of $75 - 82.50 were given me as
to the value of the property per foot. The Location of the
property (next to City Hall) made the value less than other
river front property.
Mr. Crawford Shaeffer and Mr. David Ledbetter made a few remarks
as to the value of property in the City of Edgewater.
Mayor Armstrong announced, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce,
there will be Bus Tour of the Cape on Thursday, April 7th, 1966
at 8:00 A.M. The cost is $2.80 per person for the bus fare.
Mayor Armstrong announced the Zoning and Planning Board is
having a Public Hearing on April 14th, 1966 at 8:00 P.M.
in the Mayor's Office with regards to Beauty Shop Variances.
Motion duly made by Councilman Cairnie we have a public hearing
at the next regular council meeting - April 18th, 1966
with regard to the proposed paving, seconded by Councilman
Walls and by vote CARRIED. The roll call vote was unanimous.
There being no further business, motion duly made by Councilman
Cairnie, seconded by Councilman Bebmngton we now adjourn.
There were no objections.
