Marshall Mitchell: Mitchell City Council to consider purchasing property at 1515 N. Sanborn
Mar. 30—MITCHELL — The Mitchell City Council will meet at 5 p.m. on Monday, March 31, at 1515 N. Sanborn for a tour of the CHR building as part of a council work session.
The council will evaluate it to consider purchasing the property at a discounted sum, according to council president Kevin McCardle.
"People have talked about moving City Hall, and that might be an option," McCardle told the Mitchell Republic. "We're just gonna go up there and check our options out."
The property at 1515 N. Sanborn Blvd. is a two story and one story sprawling brick building with 75,800 square feet of office space with portions of the building being built in 1987, 1992 and 1996. It is listed for sale at $5,999,999. Amenities include a reception area, multiple conference and office spaces, a large shared break area with kitchen and in-suite restrooms.
"We wanna see what kind of shape it's in. If it's worn down and needs a lot of work then there's no reason to do it," McCardle said.
The property includes a parking lot. Previous real estate listings included the empty 110,889 square foot lot behind the building.
The property is south of Muth Electric and across the street from the Village Bowl at the corner of North Sanborn Boulevard and West Fifteenth Avenue.
The property is owned by Martin and Associates, according to the Davison County Geographic Information System. The South Dakota Secretary of State lists Matthew J. Martin of Sioux Falls as the owner of Martin and Associates.
"Probably once a year we'll drive around and look at the sidewalks, or drive around and look at different things that we think need to be done in town," McCardle said.
Immediately following the tour, the council will return to City Hall at 612 N. Main Street to discuss setting goals for the next 10 years, and to discuss various city projects.
Residents are welcome, but no citizens' input will be heard.
