AN ORDINANCE TO CONSIDER APPROVING A CONTRACT WITH THE GATHERING FOR THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY LOCATED AT 7811 MARYLAND AVENUE IN CLAYTON, MO

City Manager Owens reported that recently, the City was alerted to the fact that the property located at 7811 Maryland Avenue was available for sale. It is a small home set between the site of the new library and the Gathering. It is our understanding that this was previously the home for the pastor of the church. The listed price for this property is $450,000.

It is our understanding that this was previously the home for the pastor of the church. The listed price for this property is $450,000. The Board of Aldermen, at their June retreat, reaffirmed their commitment to expansion of greenspace throughout the City. Staff therefore thought it would make sense to at least consider the opportunity this space presented. It is a small site but could serve as a nice oasis along the city’s new bike route near Downtown Clayton. An appraisal was commissioned by the City of Clayton and estimated the value of the property at $340,000. As a result, the City negotiated with the property owners who have agreed to sell the property for $340,000. It is anticipated that the City can close on this property on or about October 29, 2018. Upon acquisition, the City will take steps to evaluate the property to decide the best course of action for its incorporation as a part of the City’s park system. The new park will serve not only the surrounding businesses, but all citizens of Clayton as well as the thousands of visitors that make their way to the City of Clayton each year. Mayor Sanger clarified that the asking price was $450,000 and the City offered $340,000 (appraisal amount) which was accepted by the seller. Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6696, an ordinance to approve a contract to purchase property at 7811 Maryland Avenue to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Boulton seconded.
