Body
During the Pre-Meeting, Staff will discuss a property donation request of 0.166 acres located at 2129 North Galloway Avenue.
In April 2019, Mr. Stephen Thompson, legal agent of the property owner, Roger Lawler a/k/a H. Roger Lawler, contacted City staff to see if the City would be interested in accepting donation of a small vacant tract adjacent to Fire Station No. 5. The tract fronts North Galloway Avenue and is situated between the fire station and the Mesquite Masonic Lodge parking lot.
The property is open, flat, with no access, and is not considered developable. The current Dallas Central Appraisal District market value is $7,230.00. The property owner owes $5,491.69 in delinquent property taxes and $5,870.93 in outstanding mowing liens. The property owner is seeking forgiveness of outstanding liens in exchange for the property.
Staff recommends accepting the donation contingent upon the property owner paying all delinquent property taxes due at closing.
