This brought up several questions from Cheryl, who asked that I provide the following information at our next meeting. The duplex is the old carriage house for the estate. It was converted to two dwelling units sometime in the past. The mansion is designated an historic structure on the State Register. The duplex does not have any local or state historic designation. 2. One person lives in each unit. The Authority collects $300 per month on the studio unit and $450 per month on the other unit. 3. The entire RHE complex, including the duplex, was purchased with Open Space funds. The duplex cannot be sold without reimbursing Open Space and the City for the proportionate cost of the duplex and land it is situated on. 4. Further complicating a potential sale is the fact that the duplex shares a water line with the mansion. A separate line and taps would have to be purchased and installed to serve the duplex. In addition, the land the duplex is situated on is not a separate lot from the rest of the estate and a subdivision would need to be created and approved before the property could be sold as a separate lot. To conform to zoning standards, the lot would have to be 9,000 square feet. The City holds the deed to the entire property. The Housing Authority is only managing the property and collecting rent as a revenue source. To dispose of property acquired by Open Space, a 3/< majority vote of City Council would be required. Donating the land and building to another entity would require the same 3/ majority vote by Council and the subdivision. 6. The Housing Authority could (and probably should) undertake improvements to the units. No inspections of either unit have been conducted to identify conditions that are not up to code. This structure would be a good candidate for rehab under the mission of the Authority, but costs are likely to be significant. The place is not in good shape. Scraping might be a cost-effective option, but that would require approval by Council since it is owned by the City.
