Report on the Progress of the Sale of 100 Acres of City of Valdez Owned Land to Rydor Enterprises LLC., Authorized via Resolution #19-19
The appraisal (see attached) for the 100 acres that the City agreed to sell Rydor Enterprises, LLC was received by the Planning Department on June 5, 2019 with the appraised value coming in at $135,000. A purchase and sale agreement based on this appraisal was drafted, approved by legal, and signed by all required parties (attached). A 10% ($13,500) deposit was received on June 26, 2019 and the final payment of $121,500 is due at closing.
Rydor Inc. is working with their surveyor to draw up the new plat, and after receiving it, we will begin the process of subdividing the 100 acres out of the parent parcels of ASLS 79-116. This process includes a public hearing and preliminary and final plat approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, as well as final approval by the City Council.
