CERTIFIED SURVEY MAP «& SALE OF INDUSTRY PARK LOT 47- 305 PHILIPS ROAD Community Development Director Joe Carroll explained that the Platteville Area Industrial Development Corporation (PAIDC) and City Staff have been working on the sale of land in the industry park. The property consists of Lot 47 ofPlatteville Industry Park #7, which is located at 305 Philips Road, in the northwest portion of the park. The purchaser would like to acquire approximately 1.5 acres of the current 2.69-acre parcel. The purchaser might want a Right of First Refusal to allow them an option to purchase the remaining 1.19-acre portion of the lot within 5 years. The lot will be sold to a company that provides water testing services to municipalities, industries, and private wells. The building will include a laboratoiy and office space and will have an area of 7,200 sq. ft. and an estimated construction cost of $650,000. The business will have 8 full-time employees. The sale of the land will be in accordance with the adopted land price formula. The base price for the land is $175,000 per acre, but the final purchase price is reduced based on the value of the building constructed, and the number and wage rate for the jobs created. In some situations, the land can be sold for $1 per acre. For projects that have a value under $1,000,000, the purchase price is determined on a case-by-case basis. PAIDC has negotiated a purchase price of $45,000 for the 1.5 acres. The purchaser will be responsible for constructing a stormwater pond sized to accommodate the development of the entire Lot 47, but will receive a pay-as-you-go TIF incentive to cover 50% of the estimated $62,000 pond construction cost (not to exceed $35,000). The purchaser will also be responsible for ongoing maintenance of the pond. The proceeds from the sale of the property and the tax increase resulting from the development will assist with the revenue for TID #9. Director Carroll and Dan Dreessens of Delta 3 answered questions. Motion by Miller, second by Gates, to approve the land sale subject to a Development Agreement, a Construction Deadline and Repurchase Agreement, TIP Assistance Agreement and CSM. Staff also recommends approval of the Option to Purchase for the remaining portion of Lot 47. Motion carries on a 5-0 roll call vote.
