Regis). BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This 124-foot by 125-foot vacant lot along the south side of East Regis Street just east of North Elm Avenue is needed for the Regis Street Greenbelt Park project. This is a joint project between the Parks Department and the Aviation Department. The Greenbelt Park will run from 1-27 eastward to Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and will require the acquisition of all the properties along the south side of East Regis Street. There will be 34 parcels in all, 17 vacant land tracts and 17 land and improvement tracts. The Right -of -Way Department has sent letters out to all property owners who had addresses to visit with them about this project and we have already met with several owners personally. To begin acquisitions, the City has been offering these property owners tax office value for their property in hopes of avoiding appraisal costs. Lot 4, Block 2 Holmes Addition is on the tax roll for $1,240 and the owners have agreed to sell it for this amount. SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION: The Right -of -Way Department recommends the approval of our offer to Mrs. Robbins and Mrs. Tivis.
