City buys home lots to spur activity Builders offered incentives By Matt Heilman Overall, the housing market has improved from this time last year, but for the City of Park City, there’s still a long way to go to eliminate the debt owed to the city in unpaid special assessments on residential properties. With the idea of lifting the burden from its tax base, city leaders recently continued a strategy it started last year to see a return on what is owed for infrastructure on a few undeveloped residential lots. Last August, the Park City council sought to re- coup what’s owed in infrastructure improvements on undeveloped lots in the Bear Hill and Saddlebrook Tony Schock additions north of the city’s limits. With available reserve funds, representatives from Team president Joseph Pindell (left) and head coach Larry Inlow introduce Wichita’s new indoor soccer team, the the city attended a sheriff’s sale where they were Wichita B-52s. able to obtain 19 vacant lots for less than $40,000. At the time, the city was owed about $750,000 in unpaid specials. The idea behind bidding on some of the vacant lots was to get the properties caught up with specials and in the hands of builders who have the means and dedication to build homes on the lots, Park City administrator Jack Whitson said. He explained that while the city doesn’t want to get into the land business, temporary ownership of B-52s ready for takeoff the lots allows the city to stop the frustrating cycle of properties changing hands while thousands of IByndoor Matt Heilman soccer makesorange color its scheme return as the Wings andto Hartmanof professional indoor Arenasoccer, will coach dollars worth of infrastructure work goes unpaid and they’ll play their home games in Hartman Wichita’s new indoor soccer team. adds to the city’s debt.
