HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The real property located at 113 West Jordan Street is approximately 0.0755 acres and zoned R-1AAA. The parcel is in a residential area but is currently denoted as a utility due to the parcel's decommissioned natural gas regulator.
The property was acquired during the construction of the original cast iron low-pressure gas system in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with a gas pressure regulator station necessary for operating the system. In recent years, Pensacola Energy has installed 80 miles of polyethylene natural gas mains to replace the aging cast-iron pipes in the downtown area. This upgraded system operates at a higher medium-pressure, eliminating the need for the old regulator stations.
The low-pressure regulator station on the Jordan Street parcel was taken out of service in September 2019, after completing the 3-year cast-iron system replacement project. The parcel directly abuts one homesteaded homeowner, who is interested in acquiring the parcel. With the parcel of benefit to only the one homeowner due to the regulator station's location and orientation, staff determined direct negotiation to be the most effective method for disposition.
Per Council policy, an appraisal will be obtained, and notices will be mailed to property owners within the subject property's 300-ft radius, pending Council approval to surplus the real property.
