RE: Approval to sell real estate at 7143 Rolston Road
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Resolution to authorize Drain Commissioner to sell real estate
BACKGROUND:
Public Act PA 342 requires County Board authorization to sell excess property
DISCUSSION:
Sanitary Sewer District No.3 owns parcel 01-04-200-003 in Argentine Township and abuts 7143 Rolston Road parcel 01-24-200-003. This parcel of land was acquired in 1978 for outfall discharge to the Shiawassee River from Rolston Road lagoons. In 1998 the treatment plant was expanded and a new outfall was established on our Hogan Road property. An outfall is currently not permitted for the parcel. In June of 2023, we were approached by Martin/Turner of 7143 Rolston Road if we would be willing to split a portion of our parcel and sell it to them. They request a 124' by 541.35' strip of land directly south of our parcel. The normal procedure would be to obtain an appraisal survey and then seek permission from the County Board for approval to sell the asset. Being approximately an acre, the appraisal would cost more than the value of the land therefore, we are requesting authorization to sell the strip of land for $5,000.00 without a detailed appraisal. The loss of this strip of land will not impact any future use of the remaining parcel. We are requesting the Public Works Committee to approve this request and move it forward to the full board for approval.
