Proposed Plan to Dispose of County-Owned Real Property Consisting of the Secondary Roads Maintenance Shed in Tiffin, Iowa

Johnson County is the owner of real property located generally South of Railroad Street, North of the Iowa Interstate Railroad, West of the southerly extension of the centerline of Grant Street, and East of the southerly extension of the centerline of College Street, in the City of Tiffin, Johnson County, Iowa. This property is the current site of a Johnson County Secondary Roads Maintenance Shed and consists of approximately 32,104 square feet.

Johnson County has received an offer to purchase its fee interest in this tract for $160,000.00 from the City of Tiffin, Iowa. The fair market value of this tract, as determined by an independent appraiser, is $160,000.00. The City of Tiffin currently owns the adjacent property immediately east of this property. The Secondary Roads Department no longer has need for this site because it has relocated its operations and equipment in this area to a new maintenance shed located near Oxford, Iowa.

Accordingly, the Johnson County Board of Supervisors has determined to dispose of the property. The plan is to sell Johnson County’s fee interest in the 32,104 square foot tract to the City of Tiffin for $160,000.00, the amount of the offer made by the City of Tiffin.

The legal description of the tract the County plans to dispose of is as follows:

Commencing at a concrete nail found at the South Quarter corner of Section 28, Township 80 North, Range 7 West of the 5th P.M., thence N 00°00’00” E (an assumed bearing), along the west line of the Southeast Quarter of said Section 28, 630.45 feet; thence N 87°40’24” E, 594.56 feet, to a point which is 50.00 feet normally distant Northwesterly of the centerline of the Main trackage of the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad Company, and which point is the point of beginning, thence N 2°19’36” W, 100.00 feet, to a point on the Southeasterly line of Railroad Street, thence S 87°40’24”W, 321.25 feet, along said Southeasterly line, thence S 2°19’36” E, to a point which is 50.00 feet normally distant Northwesterly of said Railroad Centerline, thence N 87°40’24” E, 321.25 feet to the point of beginning.

Including all right and interest to an Easement Agreement recorded in Book 1049, Page 520 of the records of Johnson County. The property is subject to an easement for access, as set forth in the Easement Agreement recorded in Book 1049, Page 520 of the records of Johnson County.

All as described in a certain warranty deed recorded in Book 1070, Page 316 of the records of Johnson County.

For further details contact Andy Chappell, Assistant County Attorney, 319.339.6100 or Greg Parker, Johnson County Engineer, 319.356-6046.

Therefore, Be It Resolved by the Johnson County Board of Supervisors that it hereby sets forth its proposal to dispose of county-owned real property consisting of Johnson County Secondary Roads Maintenance Shed located in Tiffin, Iowa, and as specifically described in the proposal.

Motion by Harney, second by Neuzil, to approve Resolution 06-05-08-01.
