BACKGROUND: Ordinance No. 96-O-093 which authorized the sale of certain property described as a 1,286.21 sq. ft. tract of land, out of the south half of Jarvis Avenue right-of-way between Sta. Barbara and Sta. Clara Streets, situated in the Eastern Division, City of Laredo, Webb County, Texas; to the abutting property owners. Thereafter, Ms. Imelda Yolanda Bustamante, who was at the time the abutting property owner of the above mentioned section of Jarvis Street and one of the authorized buyers, sold her interest to the abutting property Mr. Daniel Garcia Jr. and wife Melida Garcia by a Warranty Deed recorded in Volume 831, Pages 212-213 of the Official Public Records of Webb County, Texas. Said City property (Parcel No. 3) has been appraised by a State Certified Real Estate Appraiser at $3,537.07 (1,286.21 sq. ft. at $2.75 per square foot). The City of Laredo will retain a 3’ wide by 46.30’ long utility easement for a total of 138.90 sq. ft. In compliance with the Street Closing Sales Policy Handbook, the market value of the entire parcel being retained as a utility easement will be adjusted downward by 50%. Therefore, $190.98 will be deducted and the adjusted market value is established at $3,346.00. Continued on the next page… |

BACKGROUND: cont. Staff requested the appraiser to review the appraisal report on this property and has determined that the market value of this street has not changed. Mr. Daniel Garcia Jr. and wife Melida Garcia who are now the current abutting property owners to the above-mentioned former section of Jarvis Avenue have accepted the City’s offer to purchase the “Surface Only” of said City property which consists of 1,286.21 sq. ft. at the adjusted market value of $3,346.00. This property is not on the tax rolls since the City of Laredo is the owner, the Webb County Tax Appraisal District has properties in the area valued at $2.00 and $2.03 per square foot. On November 15, 2000, the Street Closing Committee was provided with the information through a memorandum. Improvement Plan: Resolution No. 97-R-140 requiring a potential buyer or
lessee of a street to submit a property improvement plan is not applicable to
this case since this property does not front a street. |
