Motion carried. 5.Meeting adjourned Submitted by Claire Glafke Narrative: Item 4 We were notified of an issue from Choice Title that they ran into a conflict with one of our listings for outlots 1- 4 in the Wilde River Subdivision because of was a land purchase happening between two private parties on that parcel. The problem was we had Christopher Smith as the owner of the property in our land records database but they could not find the deed of transfer from the County to the Smith’s. We did some research in our past land sale minutes and deeds and found we were not selling the outlots at that time. Also during 2001 Christopher Smith purchased a number of lots in the Wilde River subdivision though Bayfield County auction. The minutes show that we were not going to sell the outlots because there may have been some title issues at that time. Since then we have determined we can sell the outlots and have been doing so in the area. We do not know how the error was made and Christopher Smith was listed in the land records system as the owner since 2001. Christopher has paid nearly $230.00 in taxes since 2002. Communication with cooperation council recommends deeding/selling the property over to the Smith’s. We looked at the Estimated Fair Market Value in 2001 and it listed the value at $600. Scott called Christopher and he was agreeable in purchasing the property for $600.00 and any additional legal fees. The property has covenants that restrict the use for building and the majority of the property is in wetlands. Scott recommends selling the property to Christopher Smith for $600.00 and any additional fees. 2002 - $9.15 2003-2005 $30.00* estimate 2006 – $13.26 2007 - $13.17 2008 - $13.96 2009 - $13.96 2010 - $21.75 2011 - $21.04 2012 - $21.37 2013 - $22.91 2014 - $20.74 2015 - $21.17 2016 - $20.96 2017 - $21.04 2018 - $20.77 2019 - $22.38 2020 - $20.27 2021 - $21.54 2022 - $22.95 Estimate total $227.14 Item 5 There has been a great deal of interest in creating affordable housing within Bayfield County. Scott and Mark have been looking at ways we can help facilitate additional housing. One idea was to place a stipulation at the time of sale/auction on parcels that have building potential. The stipulation on buildable parcels would say that upon transfer the parcel must have a habitable building on the parcel within 24 months or it would revert to Bayfield County. County may grant extensions. We have split parcels in the past to help facilitate building in these areas but the ones we have sold have not resulted in any additional building. One way we could help enforce this stipulation is by the lottery credit on the tax bill to ensure they are living in the community. Item 6 Bayfield County and City of Washburn would like an extension to look at the properties and decide if the would like to take ownership of them. The snow has made if difficult to view them and bring contractors in. The survey is near completion. Item 7 Pam worked on this parcel last year, this was never listed on the Tax Roll. The county took the property back on Tax Foreclosure in 1958. The land is mostly wetlands. The adjoining owner would like us to sell it. The neighboring property is value is listed at $20,000 and very similar in area and topography. I recommend placing a minimum bit of $20,000 and sell at the next land auction with Wisconsin Surplus.
